Let's see a picture of your first AR. If I see some good responses I will post mine and you will be very amused. |

circa 2002
Here she was after I traded a perfectly functional surplus M1 carbine for her... I was poor back then. The only actual Bushmaster part was the lower... no name LPK, model one 10" upper with ridiculous permanent flash hider. My experience with ARs was Army and I thought that they just worked. With this I couldn't make it through a mag without getting a FTE... cleaning rod needed to clear it every time. Of course that red dot was a joke! Lesson learned. All ready for the S to HTF, I think NOT.

But this was the first one I bought, my bushy:
Here's my first and thus far only one. Bought it 3 days after my 18th birthday. I walked into the store expecting to buy an AK47 (I only had several hundred dollars) but my Uncle surprised me with a *very* generous amount of money, and this was in my price range. Granted, it was over priced but my eyes were like saucers when I realized I could buy an ar15. Cheap Chinese crappy scope, no bayo lug, ugly barrel, and realized when I shot it that the collapsible stock would collapse in on itself with recoil, so I had to buy a new stock. Still worth it.

This is a bit embarrassing, but I'll share anyway. I turned 16 right after the ban ended and my parents bought me my first and so far only AR. I preceded to immediately Tapco-fuck it with cheap, useless shit.   I have since turned it into a more respectable configuration.  |
 LMT 16" with some airsoft sight, GG&G BUIS. This was in 2005 IIRC. I was so fucking bad with shooting, that I could barely zero the fucking thing. Was shooting XM855, $220 shipped for 1K. Modeled by a friend. Ended up selling my first rifle to my dentist. Current rifle:  Shooting 55 grain FMJ BT, and Sierra Match King 77 gr reloads. Learned a lot about shooting in 4 years. I wish I could have 4 years of my life back, haha |

Olympic lower Model 1 Sales kit Cobray launcher Fake-point Yeah.... 9 kinds of suck! - Clint ETA: I bought this lower during the ban and about a month later I bought a EA Co. rifle that nearly turned me away from the AR platform until I built this rifle... I took this picture for the ad that I used to sell it in '07... good riddance! |

My first AR was a old Colt AR15 with triangle hg's I blew it up learning how to reload. Then a Colt Goverment Model, I picked up a SGW Car which to this day I still think had a 14.5" barrel on it, it also had little pins to keep the selector from going to the auto postion, than a HBar, with a Colt 4x scope on the handle. Sold both of those back in the 80's for a HK91 (WTF  ), Then I bought a Bushy, all that remains is the lower, I taught my self how to smith a AR on that one. Now its LMTs and some customs.
