Here's my newest one, I still haven't had the chance to fire her.

-The lower receiver a Colt 6920, got rid of the Rogers Super-Stoc and replaced it with a Colt CAR stock and swapped out the mil-spec trigger with a Geissele SSA.
-The upper is a Noveske 14.5 Lo-Pro
-Aimpoint CompM2
-SureFire M962 with Veleno Designs XP-G LED drop-in module, about 250 lumens, with a SureFire SR-05 tape switch.
-Bobro shorty VFG and generic ladder rail covers

I absolutely love the way this rifle handles, despite the big 9-volt SureFire and the full-size Aimpoint it is extremely light. I may replace the CompM2 with a 2 MOA Micro T-1 or H-1 down the road for greater weight savings. And maybe a MagPul CTR stock and new pistol grip.

That's a beautiful rifle. I like the CAR stock, its minimalist. However, a new stock may be in order for ergonomic purposes.

Here's mine.

S&W M&P15 lower, FN A2 upper, 14.5" barrel with an unknown AK-style brake (will get shortened to 10.5" and have KX-3), MagPul MOE handguard/AFG2, Pearce 1911 grip frame, MagPul trigger guard, MPI-tested Detroit Gun Works BCG, CMMG LPK and a DPMS charging handle. Finish is Rust-oleum Dark Taupe with Rust-oleum satin clearcoat, so far it's held up to some abuse and is easy to touch up.

Oh yeah, the BSA red dot will be on a 'Z' mount before the end of the month that should co-witness with my sights.

IWC SMC light mount with Surefire/VTAC L4 weapnlight (the pseudo scout)

Noveske QD endplate
Blue Force Gear VCAS

Is that sporting a Larue Rail?

What optic is that?

What do you use the rifle for?

I might as well contribute to this awesome thread.

Thanks CmdrSlander, my Colt/Noveske hybrid is my new pride and joy, and like I said it is very light. I can't wait to shoot it. I do agree that the stock could be more ergonomic but I really do like the CAR stock. I will probably still replace it with a MagPul CTR though, and get a TangoDown BattleGrip to replace the A2 grip, both for ergonomics.

Alcohol and guns don't mix, but on St. Patty's day weekend it still makes for a nice photo.

Built 6.8 SPC.

Those slick sided uppers are starting to grow on me.

Medusa · March 18, 2013, 02:36 PM

Nothing fancy here, well used, with wearing marks and everything. Works allright none the less, agrees with me and does what is asked - goes bang and hits the target. But still, nothing as good looking as many others here.

I am fond of the AR/VZ combo too.

Already had a pic on THR so here is this one.

68wj, nice. i have an AR with JP tube similarly painted in foliage green

I kind of like the old school approach. Though, the rifles are old school, VZ was made somewhere 60-70 and the EBR is a Colt M-16A1 (at least that's what it says on the side). Interestingly, both the VZ and the M16 felt similar in handling - weight, recoil, follow up shots etc.

Orion8472 · March 19, 2013, 09:41 AM

Sam Cade, that is one unique and neat looking AR concept. I like it!

Just a certain stylistic/art genre. here's an example.. one of many. nevermind

centurion20000 · March 20, 2013, 11:52 AM

Should be here in a couple of weeks

AR chambered in 30-06. And yes it's an 8 pound rifle.

Why?
1) Because 30-06 drops anything in North America
2) Long range (1000 to 1500 yards if I do my job behind it)

MtnCreek · March 20, 2013, 12:43 PM

Can you give a little more info on the -06 AR?
Thanks.
