I bought the S&W MP15T in 5.56 back before Obama became president. i got a good deal from one of our l.e. dealers. Works great and has passed the 10k rounds mark.

Last Thanksgiving, I built a complete rifle with 95% parts from Palmetto State Armory in 5.56.

I bought two S&W MP15-22s last month. One for me, one for my daughter.

I just ordered more parts from PSA to build another 5.56 rifle then maybe do a SBR/Suppressed .300blk rifle this summer.

the 15T and 15-22s are at work in my locker. My home rifle is the PSA.

here's the PSA:

going to stick a primary arms red dot on it and move the eotech to my new PSA rifle I am building this month.

if i like the primary arms red dot, i will buy another one to stick on my 15-22. my daughter said, "optics, daddy?? for real? i can out shoot you and your optics with iron sights. pfft."

she's got a real smart mouth on her, my wife says she takes after me.

:)

My Daniel Defense AR came first. I just picked up a used 15-22 for a .22 steel match, but it will come in handy for cheaper practice on the AR platform.

I wish we were allowed SBR's here. I'd love to have one!
Was contemplating buying a 14.5" barrel for my build but I want the ability to be able take the flash hider/muzzle break off when I need to.

Here's my DPMS:

HAHAHAHAAA!!! That's the one. I remember a long time ago a guy warped a barrel on the patrol boat. He was on shore, and had gotten into a real mess. Wound up putting down cover for the rest of his team after they were noticed by some unfriendly folks. The 2nd skiff was a better lander, so they went in with a 17ft. Boston Whaler for an extraction. He was still hitting it, and then went into the drink with this smoking hot rifle. The barrel warped and a huge steam bolt blasted out and the guys pulling him up got sprayed with it. No serious injuries, but the barrel literally made a wave shape from cooling so rapidly. Kinda like ~....! I always had the utmost respect for him; he would go toe to toe with Godzilla if that was what it took. Anyone in the squad who had their choice always wanted him on their team. Even the SF guys wanted him; they would hit him up to try and draw him into the teams.
He made his mark, and went home to be a regular guy. And we teased him about getting with girls, having a bent barrel and all.....:eek:
 
Eugene Stoners AR180 is a neat little weapon,
While it solved several AR15 shortcomings like an improved tappet rod that moves the gas system out of the action and into the handguard, a cocking handle that doubles as a fwd assist, side folding stock and heavy use of stampings instead of casting to reduce costs its shortcomings (IMO) are less robust design, flimsy stock and although AR 18 magazines work in the M16/AR15 ,
AR15 magazines do not work in the AR18/180 without being modified.

Original Costa Mesa made guns and short barrel versions are very desirable,
Production supposedly moved to Howa Japan then to Sterling England (where the IRA managed to procure them).
Interestingly AR18/180 internals are almost identicle to the current British Light Individual Weapon LWI bullpup .



Here is my .223/5.56:

This thread puts me in a tough choice between buying a .223 or a Saiga Shotgun as my next gun.
 
My .223. M&P15. Yes I know I moved the MBUS off the gas block onto the rail...

Two ARs. one A-4 and one A-2.
1 15-22 MOE.

The A-4 and 15-22 are set up really identical (A-4 has a Magpul CTR stock with the ASAP Ambidextrous Sling Attachment for a single point sling(MS3™ - Multi Mission Sling System).
Both weapons have PA M3 red dots and 3X magnifiers.

Aim small,
