Here's my first AR, a .223/5.56 Bushmaster Varminter with 24" Fluted DCM Competition Barrel. It was a tack driver right out of the box. I recently added a new Magpul PRS buttstock with an Accushot Monopod. It's an incredible combo that sets up a perfect three point shooting base...


Image

The PRS is as solid as they come and has easy turn turrets for adjusting the LOP and cheek weld for a customizable fit.

Image

The Accushot is the most amazing shooting tool I've ever used. I have one on each of my target rifles. The range of adjustment is amazing and the ability to make fine adjustments on target is unrivaled. Depress the quick adjust button for macro adjustments or simply twist the monopod around its threads to raise or lower your crosshairs by a fraction of a milimeter. You never have to take your eyes off the target as you fine tune your elevation.

Picked up an FN Ps90 a few years back.

You hear all kinds of debate about the 5.7x28mm caliber ranging from comparisons to a mini .223 to others saying it's nothing more than a glorified .22 mag. I shoot the ss197 rounds and in my experience, it's an incredibly low recoil, speedy little booger that's just as consistent at 100yds as my other .223 ARs. Tons of fun at the range and the 50 round mags mean lots of shootn time without having to reload...


Image


I added the quad-rail forend, vented barrel shroud, folding foregrip, mag coupler, brass catcher, ITAC-TFL2 (120 lumens), and Eotech 512.

Recently picked up an FN SCAR 16s...


Image


This is a truly AMAZING rifle with incredible balance. FN builds great products and the SCAR has to be one of their finest creations. I set-up a co-witness with my Eotech 512 and a Sightmark magnifier on a FTS mount. At distance, my eyes need all the help I can get...

Most of my precision shooting is accomplished with an AR platform. The longest shot I've ever taken was at 200 yards...Range 14 @ Fort Dix, NJ.

My Olympic Arms CAR-97 PCR ( Politically Correct Rifle ) was bought during the Federal Assault Weapon Ban ( 1994-2004 ), and was noteably absent a bayonet lug and had a pinned M4orgery stock. I have since added a functional 6 position M4 stock from the original manufacturer.

Features

chambered for 5.56 NATO
1:9 twist rate
16" 416 Black Oxide Stainless Steel heavy barrel w/muzzle break
A2 forged upper/lower receiver
Pachmayr grips
(shown w/ red dot sight)

Image

200 yards...using Hornady 5.56 NATO 55gr GMX Superformance (HEAD)
200 yards...using Hornady .223 REM 55gr TAP FPD (CENTER MASS)

Image

Iron sights...bench rested over Caldwell Bag...Winchester Spotting Scope 15-45X60mm

Just won this thing 2 weeks ago.
But I won this at a Friends of NRA event. So the price was right. :D

DPMS .223 Lots of fun for shooting paper. Since this pic I have added a scope and taken it to the range. What a blast to shoot. :mrgreen:

Not really DH. Would have never bought this for myself. So, for the most part it's just for paper fun. Cheap enough to shoot. Unless some one in my area has a varmint issue. :mrgreen:

Whew!! Makes ya just love copy and paste. Glad I''m very accustomed to forums. ;)

Shoots light. Not much recoil at all. Large flash at the business end so sniping is out. :lol: You could squeeze off all 30 rounds and not feel it.

The event was in Ft. Myers Florida. Held by the Friends of NRA and was a dinner banquet. Holiday inn style. Nothing extravagant . They had simple games of chance where you were always guaranteed a few raffle tickets.

ANd they go on. But that's the just of it. Next event I know of is a skeet shoot in DEC. with my friend trying to plan a .22 target shoot for the kids.

Finished my Pop's rifle build a couple weeks ago...

Image

My Pop is a big fan of grizzly bears and is a bit of a big 'ol griz himself, so I comp'd up a personalized logo for the right side of the magwell on his rifle. It came out perfect!

Image

His name is also lasered just below the logo, but I removed it from the photo.

I took the Mrs. out shooting a few months back and she got a chance to get behind a couple of my 5.56 builds for the first time. She was hooked, and immediately asked me to build one of her own. We talked through the specs a bit and decided on a dedicated .22lr upper. Here she is all finished up...

Image

...and here she is with my YHM .22 Mite suppressor and a UTG 3.9" ITA Red/Green Dot Sight on a QD cantilever mount...

Image

She's sit'n on a Spike's Punisher lower with ST enhanced LPK, all color treated in 'flashy fucshia'. I'd never use a Punisher logo lower on any of my own builds, but I couldn't pass up the chance at adding a little comedic irony to a pink .22lr build. I used a 16" Chiappa M4-22 upper with a 1:16" twist and added a gen 2 Magpul MBUS. The upper to lower fit is excellent with no wiggle or movement at all. I'm very pleased so far. The buttstock is an RRA 'Entry' model which is essentially a shortened A2 unit on a carbine length buffer tube. It fits her like a glove! We're looking into having the handguard, stock, and mags hydro-dipped in black/pink camo. I'll post up some new pics when we get it done...

Thank you! Actually, I have an MBUS back up sight set for it that I never even installed. The batteries have such a long life that I never really needed them. I checked with some of my local gun shops, but ended up getting it from a big box store. Don't recall which one, I think it was Bass Pro but it has been a while.
You definitely should get one, it is a great gun!
