Youngest son and I took some of the rifles out and thew some lead downrange last week. Always big fun, getting the rifles dialed in nicely.
Pardon the crappy cell phone pic:
Top to bottom:
- Son's 20" AR build. Thomas found a complete 20" Colt upper which kicked off this project Finished it up with an assembled 2Vets lower and a Spykes Tactical lower parts kit. An A2 stock completes the 'vintage' A2 build. Iron sights.
- My 'cheap' AR build. Found an Olympic Arms complete upper at the gun show for a steal. Assembled the lower with a 2Vets lower and a Palmetto State Armory lower parts kit and stock. Cheap 3X9 scope on top. Shoots great...!!
- My fave AR. A Bushmaster custom upper with a 20" fluted match barrel. Trigger group worked over by my friends at Brimstone Gunsmithing; crisp, not so much light. An ACOG TA01 on top. Shoots fantastically.
- Son's new Savage .308. Complete from the gun show with a factory synthetic stock, Weaver scope. First time out it had feeding and trigger issues. Got it back from Savage, worked perfectly this time out..!!
I'm working on a short M4 style AR with all the goodies and toys on it, but there's something my son and I both like about the classic A2 platform.
I've been taking my boys shooting since they were old enough to hold the .22 rifle. Always fun, always a good time.
Cheers - B.B.S.
