Am I the only one who still likes plain vanilla AR's?

[bannockburn]

The two I have are kind of plain vanilla; my Colt SP-1 was purchased new in 1978 and while I still have the original tri-guards, I really prefer the later A2 round handguards. The only other addition is a 3X9 power scope, but since it's detachable I don't think it really counts as a mod. My other AR is an XM-177E2 copy that I built with an Olympic Arms lower and a Bushmaster upper. The folding buttstock is an original aluminum Colt while the internals are a mix of Colt and Olympic Arms parts. No other mods needed or desired.

1 plane jane A2, the rest are jazzed up carbines of some sort.



This is my basic go to rifle.

OK so while I've got everyone on the plain vanilla AR topic, If I were going to use it as a precision plinker and for service rifle competitions using aperature sights.

I shouldn't think about this. I've got too many project guns to get finished first...

I have screwed around with mine a few times, but I always sell all the dodahs and go back to the A2 config. I just like mine plain. Iron sights, no lights, buy more ammo, practice more and love it.

I do love RMT's though..that is very clean and simple.

Have one in the A2 configuration and love the balance, accuracy, and price.
