My very first rifle was an Oly arms AR15 kit I assembled (postban 20"). Now that the ban is over (for now) and there are no bans where I live (so far) I can't decide what to do.
- Leave it as-is
- Buy a complete new upper (preban)
- Have a new barrel installed to replace the postban one
- Have the barrel threaded for a FH and don't worry about the bayonet lug
- Install a collapsable buttstock and leave the upper alone
- Install a collapsable buttstock and change the upper in one of the aforementioned ways
- Get a new preban upper and put on a collapsable stock and get a really expenisve scope and buy a suppressor and wear camo all the time

As to what I use the rifle for, it is more about enjoying what I'm able to own as oppossed to a real-world need. I shoot at paper targets only. The last option is a joke.
