I just felt like taking a moment to show off my newest little toy.  While i have several rifles, I've never felt the "need" to have an AR. However, as a self-proclaimed history buff I always wanted one that look liked the original M16. Look would have it my good friend had an upper with a fixed handle and some other parts he gave me for free. Fast forward a couple years of slowly gathering parts (so the wife wouldn't notice). I finally had everything. It's a DPMS upper and bcg, seekins lower, hand gaurd and stock (which has a compartment in the stock, too cool) are off an original M16 that i got from a USO group, CMC trigger, BCM 20" barrel, Wilson combat tube and flash hider. Realistically this will probably be my one and only AR. I figured the best way to stand out is to has one like the original.

I think I have an old AR Stoner 20 rounder that I used to make holsters with. That's pretty much only thing I used it for. I'll see if I can find it.

They didn't have Wilson Combat flashhiders back then either. I think DPMS makes a legit one for pretty cheap.

Is it a slick side or does it have the FA and dust cover door? I like the older representations. Here is my "old school" A2 I did a while back, modeled after what we had in the period when I was in the USAF (mid 80's).  I'd kinda like to do an old A1 build now.

Nice. Just watch out, they tend to multiply in the safe.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

I keep looking to get a 20" upper with carry handle and pin it to my carbine lower. Best of both worlds.

Yup. I have a soft spot for the 20" AR's.
Nice rifle.

Very nice gun, I was thinking about doing a build however, FNH just released a model called the FN-15... Two models actually, one is modeled after the M4 the other is modeled after the M16... I think I am going to buy the one based off the M16

I saw some of these built by FN for right around $1k. I spent a little less than that overall and even ended up with a CMC trigger but got some parts free. If I would have known this existed before, I may have changed my mind.
Regardless, I'm totally happy with the way it turned out.
