Post a picture of what you think is the best looking AR-15. It changes with me from time to time, and I can't quite pick a favorite, but this picture of a MK18 always puts me in a good mood. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/414212/mk18_mod_1_jpg-801410.JPG MK18s are definitely the best right now, but I’m pretty partial to my Block II clone as well. |

Quoted: @JamiesGotAGun They are anti-rotation pins. The idea is they prevent the pins from spinning around and wearing out the pin holes while firing. In theory after enough rounds through any AR you would enlarge the holes to the point where the spec pins would no longer fit and you'd then have to use larger (thicker) pins. They are for show on that AR if I'm honest, but a lot of guys with registered M16 machine gun lowers use them because they don't want to wear a transferable receiver out. Learn something new every day. |
| This is the correct answer. |
| Winner, winner, chicken dinner.... |

Lots of light-duty range toys being posted. Do people not use A2 front sight's any longer?  |
I personally love PDW style AR's, but I also found I have a soft spot for SBR carry handles...and one of those will probably be my next build.

Mk18 is a close second, with the XM177 taking top for retro, but I'm pretty sure that I'd have to go with the Mk 12 Mod H as the all time best looking AR15 ever made. Not mine, belongs to Ben Chau Photography, but it's the best pic I've ever seen. https://external-preview.redd.it/qbiI6AY15Vqht9oeols-qnJBxwRrxwpG4JVWzbMFb04.jpg?auto=webp&s=ba403d9d28c0f1ac078be6eb50fe3265dace2b07 My favorite that I own is my MK12 inspired build. |

My favorite gun right now is my 45 AR pistol and I think it looks pretty nifty too. https://i.ibb.co/nj1RTpt/IMG-1747.jpg Can't have a thread about AR "looks" without adding the 1942-edition AR I did a while back. (sold it) https://image.ibb.co/c6LTRc/919-CC2-A5-E42-B-45-E9-9-DE4-3-A139-EFEA29-C.jpg

The Mk18 Mod 0 is the quintessential model of the AR/M16 platform in my opinion. https://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn38/rccox/Guns/E658A4A5-E517-4556-A0ED-8FC6D43F16CF.jpg http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn38/rccox/Guns/107C1B0C-970F-45E2-AABE-F6D444A266D9.jpg |
