The Official AR-15 Picture Thread

Mount the bipod to the hand guard, not the barrel. By mounting the bipod to the barrel you lost any accuracy gains, when you floated the barrel.

It was only mounted there for the pic, I had to pick up a keymod rail to mount it to the guard.

OP, don't sweat mounting your bipod on your barrel. Folks have been doing it since the invention of barrels and bipods. Is it THE BEST set-up, no, but Harris makes barrel mounts and sells them for a reason. Cuzz they work. I have a Harris 9-13 inch on a .223 barrel and a Harris 6-9 inch BR mounted on a 300 BLK barrel. Both rifles deliver acceptable accuracy with hand loads. Though your bipod does seem excessively tall. Consider a 6-9 for your application. Much less wiggle means much more steady. And buy a Harris. Not one of the rickety afterthought abortions that other companies are cranking out at half the price. All that said, have fun with your new build.

Just went and picked up this police trade in Colt 6721 from Gary in Hanover, PA yesterday.

Another pic. This AR is staying just the way it is. Not modifying it or adding anything to it.

I thought about getting one of those - awesome! What length barrel is that? 16? 14.5?

16" 1-9 twist HBAR

It also came with a 20 round magazine which is also stamped with the "RESTRICTED" roll mark.

Very happy with the whole transaction - Gary met me on early on a Sunday morning, I got to chose between two rifles - couldn't have been smoother. A buddy that rode along with me was able to pick up some Magpul .308 mags while we were there as well.

Gander Mountain was only about 40 minutes from Gary's place and we went there and loaded up on standard capacity Glock mags while in Pennsylvania.

Grandfather's Rock River. Just got it back from Engage with a new white oak 20" barrel. Was a surprise early Christmas gift to him. He's excited. Even did a little dance and said "come on groundhogs!"

Ruger SR-556.

Family friend's husband passed away and left his wife a whole pile of guns. Was a competitive shooter. She offered my grandfather and I a look at the list to see if we were interested in anything. Feel pretty special being allowed to have this chance, and picked out this as well as a Ruger Mk III Competition, and Stevens 335 18.5" double barrel.

I would have done a dance as well.

Vortex Strikefire II on the Ruger. It co-witness perfectly with the irons. Nice sharp dot, also. First Vortex optic for me, and love it. Will have to zero it soon.
