Your first AR

[Ethereal]

Alright, for the good of the forum, tell us about your first AR. :) Mine was an LMT pistol build 10.5 with a RRA lower, MIAD grip, YHM phantom, and GG&G rear BUIS. Everything was fine with it but it was loud as hell! I said to myself, "This is cool, but it would be better as a rifle." I sold the upper and picked up another from RRA to match. Got me a stock and never looked back! They're fuckin' awesome!

Mine had triangle handguards, a three prong flash hider and I had to adjust the rear sights with a bullet. Oh and it had full auto. Uncle Sam gave it to me!;) :D

Mine was a COLT CAR A3 H-BAR ELITE...
Bought from a GUN/PAWN shop when the Original purchaser ( A local Cop) was threatened with divorce after his Wifey found out he bought it..:eek:
Gun was returned NIB and I bought it.. :cool:

And you gave it back?! :(

[skeeterbay]

Yes I did! They get funny about that sort of thing.:(

[Ethereal]

Well that's not nice of them. :D

[skeeterbay]

Well they did own it. Besides they ended up giving me another one later on down the road when I went to the civil side of the house. Uncle Sam and I have a long history of swaping guns back and forth. Over the years I have been issued M-60's, M-16's, M-4's, M-79's, M-203's, Colt 1911, Remington 700's, several different brands of shotguns, A slew of Smith and Wesson revolvers in both 357 and 38. Several Smith auto's, A Beretta, a Glock and lot's of ammo! The only duty gun they ever let me keep was my Sig P220 and I bought that. :(

Well you can't fault them for replacing what they borrow back. Where/when did Uncle Sam issue a P220?

[skeeterbay]

That's the only one they didn't issue. Years ago some agency's allowed personal weapons so I bought and carried the Sig. I also kept and qualified with the issue weapon. I used it as a back up should the Sig go down. Then just before I retired they did away with allowing personal weapons and issued everyone a Glock. So my Sig became my off duty carry gun. She is still the most accurate out of the box, (read not tinkered with) auto pistol I have ever owned. Not much finish left on her but she still shoots great after thousand's of rounds.

Colt SporterII. Pencil barrel, 2 position retractable stock, A1 style upper. 1986. Still had it, right up to the boat accident.:(

[Ethereal]

Someone should put a sign up or something. Those boats just ain't safe!

[skeeterbay]

Yes, boating accidents can happen anywhere and to anyone. ;)
