The High Road AR15 Picture Thread

The long 224 Valkyrie
And short 300 Blackout

 

AR22s are more fun than they have any right to be.....

 

Details please also that’s a nice looking rifle

 

Absolutely

 

don't have a pic of this one yet

just added this last month, put a sopmod stock on it a couple days ago and it wears a Credo HX like the Larue above

 

A lot of nice rifles in here!

 

Did a bunch of up drills (dry fire) with this weapon today. My work gun is similarly outfitted with a LPVO but of much lesser quality. Muscle memory is close enough to translate

 

Holy crap, you all have been running Mini 14s???

 

Our local sheriff’s office (A good-sized agency, authorized at around 1,400 sworn) has been running the Mini-14 in patrol cars since the 1980’s. My office has used them since the mid-1990’s. Obviously the terminal effects on the suspect would be identical with both the AR-15 and Mini-14 in 5.56/.223, but the more ergonomic and versatile AR finally won out for us over the trusty old standby.

We ended up trading the Mini’s in to the Arizona-based dealer who brokered the AR purchase and we were allowed to individually buy the trade ins back at their cost. I picked up this unissued and unfired (by us) Mini for right around $400 bucks OTD.



It goes nicely with the 1990’s era .223 Ranch Rifle and 7.62x39 Mini-30 I also have.

Stay safe.

 

The AR15 is awesome but I have always liked the Mini-14 as well. Mine have always been reliable and decently accurate. The 580 series shoots much better than my 180 series. I have never felt under armed with a Mini-14. RM - you got a great deal!

 

A slight drift from my levergun's, my only 2 black rifles.

 

Just finished my first build. It's all pretty much milspec to go with my Ruger AR556. Might go optic or just open sights. Aero Precision upper. Magpul SLS stock
Love for the club, Rocket Armory lower. hehe

 

Looks great! Have you had a chance to shoot it yet?
If not, let us know if it shoots as nicely as it looks.

Stay safe.

 

I will this coming weekend. Excited about the Rise Armament drop in trigger too.

The bottom pick is my old Ruger AR556.

 

Clone of my very first issued rifle:



My Spirit of the Bayonet rifle:



Some regular stuff:





And I didn't see so far an AR variants or AR-10/large frame thread but if there is one, please let me know and I will edit/remove this AR-10 photo:

 

Here's one I built as a MSR take on 1894 30/30 it's a 16" Faxon barreled 350 Legend, the scope is an older Leupold VX Hog 1-4X and the suppressor is a Torrent T9K using a Griffin Plan A taper lock/ minimalist brake. It ended up at a svelt 7.5# with the can and empty mag.

 

I think I'm close to being done with this one. Switched from a CT 1-5X series 3 to the US Optics TS 8X 1-8X and switched to MBUS Pro offsets. About the only thing I'm even considering is a dedicated can.

 

B&T has a 5.56 can that's really affordable that I'm heavily considering that looks real nice. Mounts on standard A2 flash hiders too.

It's already got a Griffin Paladin taper mount brake on it. I was thinking of getting a YHM Turbo or Turbo k and putting a Griffin Plan A adapter in it.
Probably offset the cost selling the YHM QD set up.

 

Built a semi matching 22 LR upper for my 300 Blackout SBR.

 

I really am impressed by the variety of the GA mounts.

It's not why I bought a GA can, but in hindsight I'm real glad I did. I can put my bushwhacker on everything
