My new little honey - an AR carbine

[Guest The Cat]

I haven't really participated here very much as of late and thought I'd reintroduce m'self to you... I'm the member formerly known as Lab Rat.

And what better way to re-say 'Hi' than with gun pics?!?

Just got 'er finished up last evening. For me, it is a D.I.A.N.E. rifle - (Does It All, No Exceptions)(Well, for me personally, anyway.)

One of these days it'll have some good glass up top - haven't made my mind up between the Eotech and Aimpoints... but it definitely has a scope in its future.

I just wanted it tough and adaptable, with some CDI factor thrown in for good measure.

That looks GREAT!!!!

Really makes me want a flat top AR!!

I fought that urge for years. Believe me, it's best just to give in.

Your right... I may just have to break down in a few months and just

get me a whole new upper. Great excuse if you ask me.

[BimmerFreak]

Very nice man!

Break Free, My Brother!!!!!!!!

For me it always had to be a box-stock A1, or A2, or CAR. Then that <censored!> Schadenfreude here got into the flea-throat floor-ends and after a while I decided I'd join the 21st Century.

You can get a good Upper for $105.............

True... but for my skill set... it would have to be a complete

upper. Not sure how well I would do taking the barrel

off and all. Like the forearm you have on there!

[Guest Hawk]

very nice AR!

[Magiccarpetrides]

Very nice rifle you got there. I like Eotechs (because I have one) but the aimpoints seem to be the way to go if you wanna be different.

[Urse]

Nice Rifle. Why the name change Cat?

[poak]

Everyone on this board seems to be partial to Eotech and Aimpoint. Where's the ACOG support?

[Magiccarpetrides]

Oh i have one of those too, but it was almost twice what the Eotech was (its a 3x) and it is SWEET!

Its currently attached to my Saiga 7.62x39 but will soon be on the Saiga .308 as thats what its calibrated for (bullet drop compensator). Kinda funny when your scope is worth 3x what the gun is LOL.

[poak]

Yeah, they're pretty 'spensive.

Unless you have a former Marine for an older brother, who now does IT work for the DoD, and still has LOTS of contacts in the Corps...

Then of course, you can get one for beans

[TGO David]

This makes me miss my AR15 all kinds of bad.

[Guest Taurus Pro]

What i like about building an AR is the fact you can go to any Airsoft website or storefront and get stocks, scopes,rails, and just about anything for the outside of it dirt cheap.

But is it good stuff? I thought most stuff for airsoft was plastic...

[Guest tnvol]

Sweet AR!

[Guest roamer]

nice AR what kind of stock is that ?

[Magiccarpetrides]

So is the M16

[poak]

yeah, yeah, yeah,

I would imagine the manufacturing process and quality of materials for real accessories and airsoft guns are quite a bit different.

But hey, I may be wrong, would'nt be the first time for sure...

[Guest racr28]

+1 one on the ACOG or Aimpoint with 3x magnifier. Great looking carbine.
