Let's see your non-budget AR's

[wundudnee]

I didn't know squat about ARs, so I just spent too much on this 6920 with the Magpul pretties. I figured it might hold some value. Since then I'm trying to learn a little.

I only have one. A Colt AR15 A2 Govt Model that I traded a Remington Wingmaster pump 12 ga for back in the early 80's. My one and only AR...have about $200 invested.

Yankee Hill... not budget but nothing special.
Aimpoint, Wilson Combat TTU trigger, Syrac adj gas block.

I have a few that meet this criteria.

Lets find some pics. The first one is a Diamond Billet receiver with a side charge upper with a Pac Nor barrel and an IOR Valdada 10X56 scope. The second one is a S&W Performance center 20" bull barrel model with a Schmidt and Bender 3X12X50 scope on it. The third one is a Noveske Rogue hunter with a Leupold VX 6 1X6 IR scope. And the last one is a NIB Colt HBAR Match. And I have a couple more kicking around somewhere.

I have not even been to the range with this one yet. Hoping that while I am off the week after Thanksgiving I will get a chance to go shooting. If I do I will update this post with target pics.

You probably saw it when I first put it together a couple months ago. 16" 1:8 free float upper from CBC that I added a BC assy and CH from AIM Surplus to. Stuck it on a lower I had sitting around and put a A1 stock on it. The A1 turned out to be a bit short for prone shooting so I changed it to a A2 stock. That one works better. The scope is a Vortex 4-12x and I have about 4 different kinds and weights of ammo to try in it.

Never been a big fan of the AR platform, but it's better than the mini 14. Serving in the Air Force and as a career LEO, I've carried one pretty much all my life. Nevertheless, I still keep one around in case the SHTF. Nothing fancy, just a basic Colt M4.

In the first pic is is my $607.21 (including my Fieldsport red dot sight, UTG hand guard, and PSA Premium non logo BCG) Ruger AR-556.
In the second pic is my almost 5 year old $589.12 M&P Sport 1. I took the NcStar carry handle off of my AR-556 and put it on my M&P. This is the Sport 1 with the 5R barrel. And, it's very accurate!

Just put a new Leupold VX-R FireDot Scout Scope on my LWRC. It shot great with the AimPoint red dot, now I will see what it will do with a 1.5x5 30mm scope.

Daniel Defense upper assembly, Spikes lower I put together with a Rock River match trigger. Its the wifes rifle so I gave her an H2 buffer and the Aimpoint, she loves it.

Here's a bone stock Colt with an ACOG on it that wasn't expensive until I added the glass.

Here're my 3 latest non-budget ARs:

LWRC M6 IC
LWRC Six8
Les Baer Custom M4

I know I have shown this one before. I consider it my best shooter. The stripped Anderson receivers were inexpensive but still a good basis for a quality build. The lower has Spike's Tactical LPK (minus fire control) and a Giessele G2S two-stage trigger. The upper was built with Del-Ton upper parts, AIM Surplus premium nickel-boron BCG, Odin Works 16-inch stainless barrel with 1 in 8" twist chambered in .223 Wylde with mid-length tunable gas block, Spikes Tactical Dynacomp muzzle break, Midwest Industries 12.5 inch MLOK rail and VORTEX 3x Prism scope. The buffer tube assembly is Spike's Tactical and the butt stock is MAGPUL. This rifle is easily capable of 1 MOA results at 100 yards. Probably shoots better than I can shoot it at my age.

Two Daniel Defense/5.56 - V7 and M4 Carbine - And one Remington R-15 VTR .223. All with my 'personal touches...

 

[BB57]

From right to left is a Colt M16A1 (police surplus when they went to M4 uppers) on an NDS 602 lower), my A2 style Service Match rifle, with 1-8" heavy match barrel, free float tube, match trigger, stock weights, etc, and my varmint AR with a 1-9 twist heavy barrel, free float tube, and single set trigger.

My vintage Colt 6450 and Colt Scope are not exactly budget either.

This one started out as a DPMS bare bones unit. Replaced upper and barrel.
Installed target stock. Now a decent long ranger.
Sorry about the Chineesium scope. II needed it for a quick checkout.

I happen to have a few AR15 images I've shot over the years...
