Hi all, I have been lurking around here for a while and just joined. I use go to the range all time with my friends when I was younger but then I moved and eventually got buried in college. I recently got back into shooting after hanging out with a friend with a nice collection of weapons including two AR 15s. Of course I became fascinated with the AR just as the Obama scare got into full swing. So disappointedly I got in a 4 to 8 month waiting list for a stripped lower two weeks ago.





Well today I received a Christmas bonus at work and was in the local gun shop picking up some 9mm ammo when I noticed an AR hanging on the wall, a Colt A2 Gov’t Carbine. I also noticed it was priced a lot lower then I have been seeing online. Needless to say I couldn’t pass it up and my Christmas bonus lasted me a whole 8 hours.




I can’t wait to hit the range.

Very nice!  After you build a few more, you will always enjoy the K.I.S.S. LW.  I'm not a koolaid drinker, but I wish I had a Colt.

Congrats on the new AR-15.  Hopefully that bonus was also enough to cover for some ammo.  Have fun and be safe.

After you finish hanging everything but the kitchen sink off your new rail system, it's nice to be able to go back to a LW carbine.

Great rifle!  No go and get yourself a bunch of magazines for your AR.  The Bravo Company 10-Pack is a good deal in my opinion.  However, I really like the CMMG mags the best!

Come on now ! My "Tactical Kitchen Sink front mount rail setup" is great! I mean...who wouldn't want to be without some sort of modern plumbing while in a fire fight

I like mine too...now I just have to find a Larue Tactical Cappuccino Maker/Vertical Foregrip for my 6 o'clock rail.
