    The "Modern" AR thread.

    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":

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    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.

    Are those offset folding sights on your black rifle?

    "modern"

    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.

    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.
