Post your FIRST EVER AR15 Thread:

**Seawolf** · 2 June 2009, 12:38

Just found this sight and making my first post. I just finished my first AR project and have started with accessories. I knew that the AR15 was popular, but I had no idea the amount of stuff you can put on these rifles. Anyway, the lower is a Bushmaster pre ban XM15 lower with a DPMS parts kit. The upper is a 16" mid length RRA chrome lined bore and barrel 1/9 5.56 with a YHM quad rail.
The below picture was taken with the rest of my homeland defense department and does not show the new rear BUIS I installed this past weekend. I ave some other stuff on the way like rail covers, forend grip, and eventually I would like a nice optic.
So far I really like this sight and I look forward to learning a lot here.

Here's my first kinda my first AR.. The upper is a Lothar Walther 18" barrel, and VLTOR VIS-2A upper.

This picture has my pirate lower on it, but I still have the original lower which was a LMT Defender 2000 w/ SOPMOD. I kind of interchange lowers all the time. My LMT is my beat up lower.. though it looks just as good as the day I bought it.

I guess I started out spoiled with a extremely accurate rifle.

Edit: Doh This has my first upper but was taking pictures with my Jolly Roger lower.. I have my LMT SOPMOD still.

1st Post, This is My AR15 Charles Daly D-M4LED bought during the Obamamania in early 09' (I'm a noob to the AR world but been shooting most my life) I also bought a stripped lower receiver (Del Ton Inc) back in September at the beginning of all the obamamania, just in case. I've learned alot about the mechanics, physics, and ballistics of the AR15 from this forum and M4C.

Cell Phone Pic about a week ago.

my first and currently only AR-15... a S&W m&p 15 T... still sitting the way it is in this pic. I have a VTAC sling on the way, and 3 magpull p-mags as well as 5 colt mags. crapy pic I know but its the best I have... note the AR's little friend probably my favorite weapon it accompanies me everywhere.

first personally owned AR. real first was a Colt M16A2 in OSUT

long gone, this was built almost entirely from parts bought at gun shows over a decade ago. there were some build-it-yourself kits out there, as i recall, but they didnt have a very good reputation. there was no LMT, BCM, Noveske, etc- it was Colt, Quality Parts Inc (bushmaster), Bushmaster, Olyarms was brand new, and no-name parts in a bin.

Theres no way I'll remember where everything came from, but it's a Bushmaster lower, Oly barrel, probably 50/50 Quality Parts/Colt for small parts, I think it was a cardinal upper, etc.

Very nice. Anymore pics of this set-up? BTW, is this the 9" Lite? Thanks.

1993 $425
shes the same now as then with the exception of the barrel, swapped a heavy under the handguards barrel to a pencil barrel the weight of the carbine now is 6lb 1oz w/empty 20rnd mag

Technically, my first was the M16 I carried in Vietnam in 1968. Then haven't had one since... 40+ years until yesterday when I completed my first AR. Don't know what I was thinking, waiting so long.

Here's the parts list:
Smith&Wesson Model M&P-15 Stripped Lower ........ Springfield, MA
Del-Ton Lower Parts Kit ......................... Elizabethtown, NC
DPMS 6-position Buttstock ....................... St. Cloud, MN
Bushmaster Carry Handle ......................... Windham, ME
ArmaLite U15A4CB MidLength Upper Receiver ....... Genesco, IL
ArmaLite Gas Block Sight ........................ Genesco, IL

Yeah, basic and boring but just what I wanted!

My first AR was a Colt A2 HBAR just like this one:

Bought in the late 80's and sold just a couple years later for financial reasons. For what little good $650 did in those circumstances I have always regretted selling it.

Fast forward 20+ years - I bought a modern replacement (S&W M&P15T) and added a few accessories. Now I don't miss that Colt anymore.

First AR in more than 20 years:

**gunnut284** · 3 October 2009, 17:23

My first was a post ban A2 carbine with a A2 stock. Bushmaster lower with unknown brand (possibly RRA) upper. I still have the lower but the upper is long gone. It wasn't super cool but it shot very well, probably should have kept it.

**Rahjerz** · 7 November 2009, 08:07
