I no longer own an AR. I traded my DPMS for a SIG 556.

I am much happier!

[Guest ETS_Inc]

I actually have two semi-auto, non-NFA, AR's now. I put them together last weekend.

The first one was built using a custom-made lower that I've had for several years. I got it from a group buy on Lightfighter.net. The serial number is my birthday, preceded by the letters MCLMM, which is an abbreviation of a Samuel L. Jackson line in Pulp Fiction. (MCLMM = Mushroom Cloud Layin' Motherf--ker, Motherf--ker!) It's got an A2 stock, and a Doublestar 20" A2 upper. I replaced the flashhider with a QD for a suppressor, though. The can was built for me by the previous owners of ETS, and it's model name and serial number match that of the rifle.

The second one was also built using a Doublestar 20" A2 upper. But, it uses a baby blue CavArms MkII lower and matching rifle-length handguards. I replaced the bolt and bolt carrier with a Ceiner .22 conversion kit, and the flashhider was removed, so I can thread on my ETS suppressor.

Of course, I also have two full-auto conversions.

One is a Tromix lower, converted by Silent Delivery Systems, of Alabama. It has an 11.5" DPMS upper, with YHM carbine-lenght rails, EOTech 551 Rev. F, YHM flip-up rear BUIS, 6-position M4 stock with CAA sidesaddle, Hogue grip, a Redi-Mag, a vertical foregrip of some variety, and an ETS Gladius suppressor. I just put in a 4-position fire control group (safe-semi-burst-auto), but it's not working properly.

The second is a Doublestar lower, converted by ETS. It wears a 4-position CAR stock, CAA rip-off of the MIAD grip, and a Model 1 Sales 7.5" upper, capped off with a Primary Weapons Systems FC556 flash hider / muzzle brake (that thing is loud!). I also had my 'smith cut an M7 bayonet down to fit the gun, and an M8 sheath cut to hold the bayonet. It has a safe-semi-auto FCG.

[Guest 2HOW]

Bushmaster v match , only a reflex site , just picked it up because it was a deal I couldnt turn down, oh its a carbine, My gtg is my AK.

[DMark]

I'm issued a Colt M4 - - - There are many like it, but this one is mine....., but actually its my Uncle Sam's!

I do own a Colt for Service Rifle matches. It was built by Frank White of Compass Lake.

[The Average Joe]

For a new AR owner, the best route is to by a complete rifle, or purchase a complete upper from the web and go through an FFL for a complete lower. Push two (2) pins together to mate the upper and lower, you are good to go.

A complete upper from G&R Tactical, Bravo Co or Rainier Arms are solid dealers with folks that know ARs. G&R would be my choice. Have purchased from him on a recent LMT SBR build and he had what I needed and shipped fast at a great price. Hope that helps. A pic attached of some ARs.

Also, a registered full auto lower or complete rifle will cost you 12k and higher.

I bought one AR years ago built one a few years later. Now I'm up to four 6.8's plus a 6.8 pistol and the two original 5.56's. Have had no functional problems with any of them. I have had problems with my reloading at first, but I got over that. I've used parts from
