welcome to the dark side.

it's been said that once you go black rifle you never go back...

I cannot put it down!

Welcome to the club. Once you go black - there's no turning back!

Colt, Bushmaster & Rock River

X2, Black is beautiful!

Congrats, I've got a DPMS that I love, and my dads got a Bushmaster that he loves. It becomes addicting, have fun!

I own one also. Lotsa fun...

Unfortunately, mine is still just a stripped lower receiver (Rock River). Bought it shortly after Comrade Obama took office just in case the Commicrats got any wise ideas about a new "common sense" AWB in the hope that it'd be covered under a grandfather clause.

Anyway, it's in a box under my reloading bench waiting to be built. I haven't decided if I'm going to do a complete upper/lower build, or just buy a parts kit to assemble the lower and buy a complete upper. I'm hoping that, since it seems the Commie Dems learned their lesson in '94 and won't go anywhere near an AWB version 2.0, the prices of parts and complete assemblies will come back down a little as demand falls. Availability has already improved quite a bit over just a few months ago.

Ultimately I think that I'll get 2 uppers, one CAR-15/M4 style 16" upper, and one 20" bull barrel varmint/target upper. The lower will probably have a M4-style 6-position collapsable stock with a mid-level adjustable trigger over the stock AR-15 trigger group. Now to find the money!

Good luck with your AR-15. There is a nice GA site with some AR-15 owners and also some guys build them, if you're interested in checking it out. http://georgiagunandgame.com/general-talk/ :biggrin:

Glad to hear you have a new toy to play with, they are fun guns and ammo is cheap. If you are going to do alot of shooting with this gun I recommend getting a reloading set up. I use the RCBS and it works fine. Just rember to keep all of your emptys when you leave the range.

You may also want to check out a .22 conversion kit.. Spikes Tactical has one that is chrome plated (based on the ciener kit - with some dimensional changes).. CMMG/Ciener are identical.. Blackdog machine has some great magazines and other parts for the kits

With proper tuning (ie smoothing, polishing etc) they can be made to run very reliably... The kits will work with your standard 5.56 barrel or you can get a dedicated upper for better accuracy..

Right on brotha!!!:cool15:

All kindin' aside ,the AR platform is very versatile and a definite must have regardless of what niche your into.

Congrats.
By the way SR556 enter the market late but have all the toys.
