How many own a .223/5.56

Snagged my first 5.56x45 in the late 80's in the form of an HK93 (along with it's 7.62 brother the HK91).
Picked up a .223 Mini-14 a few years after that.
an M&P-15T was the first conventional AR for me.

The latest 5.56x45 is my favorite:
- Spikes standard SF pistol lower
- PWS pistol buffer tube
- JP captive buffer spring
- Spikes M-16 BCG
- Spikes combat SA FCG
- VLTOR MUR-1A upper
- Noveske Diplomat 7.5" barrel & LP gas block
- Custom linear compensator
- MWI FF Quad-rail

It sounds something like this

Just purchased a Huldra piston model to go along with my old Colt Sporter, the new .223 works like a charm even kind of like it more than the colt. The gas porting is in front of the forearm so no more gun powder smoke in the face.

Got my MP-15 556 first, then I noticed I was going through .223 ammo like crazy since my wife loves to shoot it whenever she comes with me to the range. Solution - got her a 15-22.....now I have my 223 back, the wife is happy, and I my 223 ammo lasts much longer. Best investment I've made in a long time!

Gave my Bushmaster and two Bulgarian AKs to my son and good riddance.

I have a Ruger Mini 14 and a Remington model 700 chambered in .223.

With my custom build, and some pistols my friend brought out to shoot.

Purchased the M&P AR-15ORC and 15-22 together 2 weeks ago.

I new I would eventually want both, and when I want something I need it. If I need it then I got's to have it.

I'll get my M&P 22 out of Kalifornication jail September 4th and then take it and the 15-22 together to an indoor range for some cheap fun.

I got the AR15-22 PC first to replace another gun I use in SC and RR competition. Liked how it felt so decided to build an AR for 3-gun competition. Had some parts in hand from a prize table pick from the RR world match, Ergo F93 stock and pistol grip and 2 PMags. So ordered a Stag Arms 3-Gun upper, bought a forged assembled lower wo/stock and added a Geissle Super 3-Gun trigger and one more PMag. Just waiting to get all the parts to put it together and season its 18" barrel. It will look very similar to my AR15-22. Now I have a lot of "junk" parts for it like Ergo rail covers and vertical front grip, UTG bipod, tactical rail light, single point sling, rail mounted laser. Got lots of scopes including 1.5-4.5x32, 1-6x24, and 4-14x44 tactical scopes all mounted on QR mounts. But I only put on stuff when I need to use that stuff.

Update: Now I have a second AR I built on the cheap to go with my Stag based 3-gun rifle

DPMS sportical upper, 16" milspec barrel
Samson Evo 7" handguard
Iron sights from AR15-22
NcStar QR red dot/laser combo or
AimSport 1.5-5x30 on NcStar QR mount
FA polymer lower
RRA 2-stage trigger from AR15-22 PC
JP Yellow springs
Hogue grip

The only things that were not in my parts supplies already were these items:
DPMS Sportical upper-$375 on sale at MidwayUSA
FA complete lower-$109 off GB shipped
Samson Evo HG-$133 at MidwayUSA

I was looking for a LW rifle for HD plus to shoot the odd sidematch with a lighter gun and to use w/CMMG conversion in my club matches instead of the AR15-22. Total was less than my PC model.
Oops put to low a price on the Samson Evo. Corrected.

My MOE 15-22 came first, and that started my path to a 5.56/.223. I am almost done with a semi budget build, lefty. Sorry no pictures as of yet.

 

[Gopher Slayer]

Just got my Rainier Arms RUC-16.

 

[Kilibreaux]

Got my first AR (M-16A1) courtesy of the United States Army...LOVED IT! I can still remember the first time I fired it - hearing the buffer spring moving inside the stock, virtually zero recoil, amazingly accurate, and light!
I've never owned a "store bought" AR-15.
I built my first two "personal" AR's a few years after leaving the military - a standard rifle pattern and a CAR pattern, plus I put together about a dozen more on OTC receivers for "the guys."
I currently have an LR-308 I built onto an 80% receiver I milled out, as well as an AR-15 in 5.56 also on an 80% milled receiver. I also have a Razorback upper on a dedicated 80% receiver. I'm currently building a .300 AAC, and will likely drop it onto an 80% as well. Along the way I added a couple of Mini-14's which I accurized by the simple addition of a glop of RTV sealant inside the operating slide recess where it impinges against the bolt's operating lug.

OK, I'll play.

Green one is my CQB LMT/BCM hybrid, black one is a "long distance calling" RRA/BCM hybrid with a 2 stage trigger.

Both have a lot of enhancements.....and the only thing they really need..... is to be fed.

 

[Razer1]

I have a Bushymaster AR-15 and well as a very recently purchased Saiga Predator AK-47. I just started rifle shooting about 4 months ago. (Owned hand guns before)

These are my "3 Amigos" Together

Haven't you folks ever heard that life's too short to shoot an ugly gun? Here's my CZ 527 Carbine in .223:

Just kidding, I like my AR and my mini-14, but I'm getting too old to chase all that brass.

 

[Kayback]

but I'm getting too old to chase all that brass.

One day I will invent a brass magnet and make millions.

what kind of coating is on the green hybrid? havent seen one like that with most of the gun done.

 

[Gunzilla]

what kind of coating is on the green hybrid? havent seen one like that with most of the gun done.

It's just Rustoleum rattle-can 'Camo', the cap of the can looks like a dark OD green, the paint is not.

It's different, but not what I was looking for....but not making any plans to change it, it's kinda grown on me and I kinda like it now.

I didn't want to paint everything so I removed the safety and masked off everything else I didn't want green. Can honestly say I'm not a big fan of a 2-tone weapon....rifle or pistol, but I also don't like a weapon that has all the 'controls' painted too.

 

[TunaFisherman]

5.56 came first and several since. Bought the 15-22 as a training/plinker for my self and my son....had to buy him his own since we had trouble sharing.
Here is mine. Yes the Gemtech is real

Colt LE6920 here with OD green Magpul MOE furniture and an Aimpoint PRO optic. This thing rocks.
