Picture of the twins. The 15-22 was first, followed by the 15OR a few months later.

As far as AR's are concerned.... Stag 2T first, M&P15-22 second. Just looking for something that fun to shoot, with cheap ammo..

Great Stuff

M&P 15-22 MOE, M&P 15-22 PC, M&P 15OR, 642CT, Model 29 Classic, Model 41, Model 22A in no patricular order. S&W is hard to beat. By far the best customer service.

Like that EOtech (E)XPS-? (0) I love the 2 i have. Reason being i run mostly CR123 recharges on all my lights so i don't have to buy any batteries anymore. the 3x G33 is good but pricey so i only have one and a PA on the other. One is on my 15-22 the other on a DD M4, SBR'd with a can.

5.56 came first then the 15-22 trainer

Just saw this thread again and realized that it's the 1 year anniversary since the original post!!!

I can't believe it's been a year already but here's what the 15-22 led to since I asked the question. Times have definitely changed and room in the safe is getting tight. I'm definitely glad the 15-22 is in there with a few boxes of Federal Bulk though. Looks like I'll have to get to the range today to celebrate!

In addition to the 15-22, I have a complete lower from Spike' Tactical that I'm still debating. I may get another dedicated .22 upper.

Here are the 5.56 ARs that keep it company now. The one with the Samson rail started as a M&P OR and the other is a ground up Spike's build.

gotta love Spike's. My favorite AR's, have the M4 and the Middy, love them both. looks good.

I have SIG 556 SWAT. I was looking at the BullPup but received email from Sig with a $500 rebate ( I own 4 Sig's)

Its a great rifle, seems to get better the more I shoot.
its stock except for the 'Match Trigger' which really makes a difference. The thing that gets me -- it never gets dirty.

I bought the 223 about 4 years ago so it came first. I don't have a picture of it but I also own a mint Browning A Bolt in 223 and it's a wonderfully accurate rifle.

I also have a Browing A Bolt 223 rifle that is dead nuts accurate.

Thanks for the new gun law in NYS I will not be able to get a AR-15 in 5.56/223 but I do have a Mossberg MVP Bolt action 5.56/223.

I've been eyeing one of these......SEXY gun. How's she shoot out the box?

 

[gmiller0737]

Colt AR-15 A2 H-Bar Sporter (6600 Green Label)Came 1st purchased it in 1988

 

[PapaBearSC]

Just finished this one. Palmetto state armory upper and lower. Duracoated myself.

The lines on the rail have since been cleaned up. New pictures once it cures.

For the price it shoots amazing, loves Horndy 55gr. When I do my part I am getting 1 inch groups at 100 yards

Grabbed one today at a hole in the wall sports store for $499. They had 3 in stock new. 18.5" predator model. Lovin the look. Threw a BS ncstar scope on for pics. Looks badass with the 30 round GI mag in there.

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.

She should join the forum ... I think we would all enjoy her posts.

Oh, to answer the OP's question -- my AR-15 came first. I'll never forget that day -- the day after Obama election in 2008. Been buying on that anniversary ever since, with a few extra "non-anniversary acquisitions here and there. Picked up the 15-22 the first time I spotted it at our local Ace Hardware store. I forget the date, but it was one of the first models.

RRA ATH. I should have known that the M&P 15 22 would lead to this!

After a lot of research, I decided on this gun and I love it! Ready to rock right out of the box!

 

[Gunslinger808]

Yeah, I've got a few.

Love my M&P15. Her name is "Big Momma". Top of the pic in my avatar, with the pink grip.
