You asked for it!

This is an actual picture of mine, not just a similiar pic from online.



It is a Rock River Arms AR-15 A2, 20-in barrel, and flash suppressor.

Hope you like it! :2guns: :2guns:

The upper and lower receiver, the carrying handle, the barrel, the flash-hider and the forward sight (and the aluminium magazine) are metal parts. The stock, pistol-grip and the forward hand-guard are all usually made of plastic.

But still, much more metal parts than the G36 or XM-8.

I suppose plastic would be a better overall material than metal...

my own knowledge on guns is rather limited, but I must agree on that point

Thats one of the reasons that I chose this particular weapon. It is mostly metal yet still only weights around 6.5 - 7 lbs. It was a much more solid feel in your hands than some of the other military guns I looked at. And it is a "smaller" caliber (term used loosely) so the recoil is much less significant leading to less pain when firing over 200 rounds in an afternoon. It still kicks a significant amount but not as much as a .308 or .30-06.

How's the recoil?

do you use that AR-15 for hunting? or self defense? or both?

if i had use for one, and a federal permit i'd go with a FN-Fal, or a styer aug, but an M-4 or colt commando would do just as well.

personally, i don't mind 7.62 nato rounds. but the .223 cal. sounds a bit lacking, but i guess you don't really need that much stopping power either.

I use it for fishing ^_^

I use it for target shooting because it is extremely accurate and shoots flat out to about 600m. The bullet velocity is about 3200 fps at the muzzle on the ammo I shoot.

It is for home protection as well, though I hope I never have to use it in that way.
