The "Modern" AR thread.

[Stevo]

We've got a thread for Retro ARs, so it's probably a good idea to have one for modern guns. That way we can keep all those icky rails and bolt-on doo-dads in one place.

Here's a recent pic of my three to start it off. I just got the 12.5" in the center and it's a wonderful rifle to shoot. Had it out today in -15C weather and was banging the 200m gong with the irons resting on the edge of a bench.

Top to bottom: Armalite 14.5", North Eastern Arms 12.5", NEA 10.5":



Just the 12.5":

Thanks.

The NEA's are 1 in 7 and I'm pretty sure the Armalite is 1 in 9.

55 gr. is all I shoot.

BTW, love the short barrels, thats a no no in michigan

Yup...I have one of those too...Nothing special. Aimpoint, 1/7 barrel and an old KAC on the front. It works fine though. Where were these when we wanted to carry something like this?

About as "modern" as I care to go:



Knight's with TA31 RCO-M150. The front grip thingie is mostly for long hikes. It rarely gets used whilst shooting. Light gets attached as required.

Stevo, what kind of scope on the Armalite ?

It's a Burris PEPR 30mm, the non-QD version.

Edit: Just realized you said "scope" and not "scope mount".

It's a Leatherwood Hi-lux CMR 1-4x24.
