Shooting Amish Bill's extra-ugly AR.

A better view of the same rifle.

Ugly AR is only in the eye of the beholder and necessarily the shooter!:D

[Oleg Volk]

I shot Bill's Remington 700PSS and AR10T today. Shooting one-hole groups at 50m and one inchers at 100m was easy...so long as I shot off a bipod. Both guns were too front-heavy for me to fire without fatigue.
Conclusions: good triggers, good ammo matter. Good scopes matter even more. The shooter in all cases was the same (Oleg) and couldn't do even fractionally as well with an iron-sighted AR15. I think that a 16" HBAR in .223 with a 3.5x ACOG is in the future, because optics not only made it easier to hit a target, they made it possible to know if the target was a shoot/no-snoot.

I don't always look that happy..sometimes, I'm a little cranky.

[Ben Shepherd]

Aren't we all......

[cidirkona]

Hahah, I don't know how you're supposed to have a gun like that in your hand and not have a huge grin on your face... ;)

[Barbara]

Hey, that was a huge grin!

My question is: Why is Bill trying to avoid standing next to us?

[OEF_VET]

It looks like ya'll had fun. If I knew you were going, I may have been able join you. Oh well, there's always next Saturday.

[Tamara]

[Barbara]

LOL. Why at first did I think you were talking about me? :)

I wish I'd have gotten to meet you all. Maybe I'll make it down again sometime.

[MAURICE]

Wow. Judging by the pic, I now know who not to mess with out of those three. :D

[cidirkona]

Wow. Judging by the pic, I now know who not to mess with out of those three.

Oleg,

Is that one of SWFA's SS scopes on the AR your holding in the group shot?

Just curious.

[Barbara]

Wow. Judging by the pic, I now know who not to mess with out of those three.

Aww, Bill's not scary!

:D

[Stickjockey]

What kind of stock is that? Greasegun?

[Nightcrawler]

Stock is for a little seen variant of the M16 that's specifically designed as a firing port weapon on a tracked vehicle. IIRC, this same variant lacks a front sight post, so the stock is only as a last-resort type deal anyway. That M16 variant is full auto only.

[OEF_VET]

That version of the M-16 is known as the M231 and was developed for use with the M-2 Bradley family of vehicles.

[sturmruger]

Looks like you guys had a good time.

One of the pictures from the birthday shoot. Better rifle shooting form.

[Barbara]

Excellent poster, too!

Fun is always a better sales tool than fear. Good going!

[one45auto]

Good thing you took that picture when Barbara was in a good mood. :neener:

Just kidding. Nice pics. I especially love that AR. :D

[Amish_Bill]

Is that one of SWFA's SS scopes on the AR your holding in the group shot? Yes, that is a Tasco Super Sniper on the AR-10T

Barbara - Yes, I AM Scary, Gosh Darnit! :evil:

JShirley... yes, there once was a funny tuft of hair about my nose & chin. :cool:

[Barbara]

Oops, I'm sorry..Yes, Bills is SCARY. Terrifying.

And, I of course, am Ms. Congeniality. :D

Seriously, I had a great time..we'll all have to do it again sometime.
