Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Favorite AR-15?

Too many makers to list them all, but anyone have a favorite in their arsenal?

I am quite fond of my H&K MR556A1. Love everything about it, even though to some it is "heavy." Those people are gay. Topped with an ACOG TA11 Green Horseshoe.

Have owned, sold and traded several over the years - Colts, S&W M&P's, Windham Weaponry, SIG 556. Have shot the Barrett REC7 and a few Daniel Defense models. Loved the Barrett fit and finish. Hear good things about POF and LWRC, among others

Anybody else have some favorites?

    My dad would refer to her as "a healthy gal"

    She could kick Hondos ass in the morning, shoot with me all afternoon, and then feed me Taco Bell at night. I like "healthy."
    She can kick my ass any morning.

    I usually just build mt own anymore. Colt's run. LWRC are nice as are POF. HK, SIG and FN are all very good. So many choices these days.

    I watched a guy on Youtube shoot a brand new S&W Sport cheapy until the handguards caught on fire and burned away. It seems even the cheap ones are running well.

    Nice to see that young lady isn't in any danger of drowning.

    I've never shot one.

    They look pretty cool, though. I've thought about buying one but always wind up spending the money on booze, drugs and fishing gear instead.

    I have four in the safe right now, but have owned damn near a dozen over the years. I shoot 'em, clean 'em, trade 'em, and on very rare occasions just keep them. Never selling my HK though. I also have a rare Robinson Arms M96 that is long out of production, but I keep it because it is rare, and the only gun ever built that closely replicates the Stoner 63 of SEAL Vietnam fame. I have a nice bull barrel Windham with a big ass scope on it, and I still have a S&W M&P 15PS, which I am keeping just because they stopped production on them a few years ago.

    Most of the safe is full of nice pistols (mostly HK and Kimber), and hunting rifles (Browning) and duck guns (Beretta). But the AR's are the most fun to shoot by a mile.

    Get one before you can't. They sell them at the gettin' place.

    Also two chins on the hot chick with huge cans holding an AR means this place has gayed up even more than I thought.

    If you even set up a legit shop this needs to go in front...

    What the hell do you need guns for Swaye? You of all people should know that the government will take care of you. Turn em in. You'll feel better.

    Nah. The heart perineum wants what it wants.

    Oh, and diversity matters and stuff.

    Not an AR but I sure like it! Galil ACE pistol w/SIG brace. Gemtech ONE can.

    Of course that can fits on my SCAR 17 as well. Love the QD flash hider mounts. Lets you move them from gun to gun in seconds. Run it on my AR15's too because my 5.56 can paperwork is in the mill.

    The wood hand guard and butt-stock on this AR-10 looks extra classy:

    Thread needs moar pix



    Saiga 7.62, Russian built, chrome barrel, more accurate than I am.

    Always a fan of the economics of the 7.62, assuming a war doesnt block import of ammo from China or Russia.
