How many own a .223/5.56

[BillyJack2012]

Apologies if there is a thread for this but I couldn't find it. Question is how many of you also own a .223/5.56 (S&W, other complete or custom build) in addition to your 15-22? Did you have it before you got a 15-22 or did 15-22 lead you to the higher caliber?

15-22 came first.

15-22 led to the 15-Sport

15-Sport led to a budget AR Build.

Got the Colt AR15 from a friend back in 2007, it was totally stock.
Just finished up before this past Christmas getting it modded to the way I wanted it, and it pretty much look just like the 15-22 MOE.
The only Colt item left on it is the lower and the pencil barrel now.

Picked up the 15-22 a few weeks before Christmas.

i v had 3-4 diffrent ar 15s sold them all and just running the 15-22 just cheaper to shoot.

Ruger Mini-14 in 1976; M&P15-22 in 2011. Also have a Ruger 10/22 and 77/22, both purchased in the mid-80s.

Got the 15-22 a month ago. Now I'm starting my AR15 build so I have a fun project.

Not to go way off topic, but what are the details of your build?

I purchased my MP15-ORC and a pre-ban Colt AR-15A2 Sporter before I found the MP15-22. My first time shooting was with a friend who happens to be an AR nut and just happens to work for Colt in a very AR intensive position... In fact, my avatar is a picture of my first range visit shooting one of his Colt AR's. I turned his obsession into mine.... I think I have like 7-8 various brand and model AR's. There is so much you can do with them. They remind me of Harleys, you build them to suit your needs and for your own enjoyment. There are just so many options available. Here's a quickie pic of most of them, from lt to rt... MP15-22, MP15-ORC, PWA lower\custom Colt upper, Colt pre-ban, Eagle Arms pre-ban, Colt AR15-9mm, custom upper on the floor.

I got the MP 15-22 first about a year ago, got hooked and bought a Daniel Defense M4V7 with Crazy Money!!!

JaPes, take the cheek riser and flip it backwards, not only it looks better, but functionally, you will be able to pull the charging handle without moving the stock back from closest position. You have the extended Magpul butt pad, so the cheek riser won't dig on your shoulder.

Here is my .223/5.56:

 

[jsimmons]

First one was a S&W M&P15 MOE (the wife named this one "Stooge" because it's a "Moe")

Second one was a homemade AR (my wife calls it "Frahnkensteen" - a nod to the movie Young Frankenstein - because it's made up of parts from different companies):

And then a 15-22 (my wife calls this one "Patches" because it's all different colors Foliage Green, FDE, and OD green, and black (not shown in picture)):

While I'm here, I'll also add that I have two 1911's, and the wife calls both of them "Thumper".

In case you were wondering, I've had to adopt this naming convention because when she says wants to shoot a particular weapon, she uses the names she assigned, and I have to know what they are so I can get the desired weapon out of the safe.

I removed the cheek riser because i just didn't like it. The pic of my 15-22 is old.

My 15-22 is back to the standard M4 stock & grip. I transferred the MagPul furniture to my AR build.

Colt AR-15 Delta

 

[ragingyeti]

Started with a 15-22 when I was first getting into firearms due to cost. Didn't want to spend a lot of money if I didn't love it as much as I thought I would.

Turns out I loved it even more than I thought I would and built this bad boy myself:

Not 100% sure yet. I'm just starting to look at stuff. So far all I have is the Spikes lower.
