AR-15 Stuff ( Info, Catalogs, Links )

My Stuff

I own five rifles currently. A DPMS AR-15 (Heavy Barrel), a Ruger Mini-14, and a Savage Model 99 in .300 Savage ( A Real Kicker ), and two M1 Garands from the DCM ( both Springfield Armory, one WWII, and the other is Korean War era).

DPMS AR-15A2

This is really an M-16a2 but it is very close to my AR-15A2 ( the only visible difference is the auto sear hole just above the selector, and I prefer 20 rnd mags. Because DCM/NRA rules say 8 in one & 2 in the other or 5 & 5 ) made by DPMS (Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services) yeah, they make M-16's for the GOVT.

I have done a little work on the trigger ( Polishing surfaces ONLY ) and the bolt carrier ( Smoothing/Polishing wear surfaces ONLY ), this rifle/X-mas present has turned into a real pleasure to shoot. I recomend the AR-15 to anyone that would like to shoot a rifle that:

  1. Does not have much in the way of recoil
  2. Is very light ( Only about 8 lbs )
  3. Is FUN to shoot. No grip changes here its an Auto-loader.
  4. Was not very expensive ( ~$795.00 for a PRE-BAN Vers, Dad paid ~695.00 for his POST ban )
  5. Is as close to an M-16 as you can get ( Unless you have the money )
  6. It is accurate in the configuration I have, it shoots 1/2"-1" groups (When I don't mess up!)

You can get a scope mount from ~$15 to ~$100 for the fancy ones. I have a B-SQUARE AR-15 Scope Mount that comes with 1 inch rings and is removable without loss of ZERO. I went down to Woodbrook Sports ( Free Advertisement! ) and bought a TASCO World Class Plus scope, went to the range & had a blast. Yeah, I know, I shoulda bought a BURRIS or a LEUPOLD, but I wanted a scope NOW & I only had $190.00 & wanted a 3x-9x scope.
It was a couple of days after X-MAS and the only thing Kenny had that fit my money/needs was the World Class Plus, if I hadn't been so impatient He could have gotten me whatever I wanted. What I really want is an Trijicon ACOG sight, but I don't have ~$695.00. Most Importantly I only shoot at my paper Targets from 100 yds away (We only have a 100 yd range).
If you are interested in getting an AR-15 I recomend:

  1. Trappers Triangle in 712-B Airpark Rd. Ashland, VA. (804) 798-8938
    Very Friendly, VERY Customer Service Oriented, Great Prices, Great People. I can't say enough how pleased I am with them.
  2. Bushmaster
  3. Olympic Arms
  4. Armalite
  5. JP Enterprises
  6. Colt NO Web Page that I'm Aware of

    7. Savage Model 99c in 300 Savage

    This is a newer version of my Savage Model 99c.
    The stock resembles the Ruger above more that this modern version.
    It is stained a Dark walnut color. It is an excelent Deer hunting rifle
    with a Weaver 3x20 scope onboard. It was built around 1925 ( Whoa Grandpa! ).
    It is a fine, accurate rifle that recoils like a .30-06. Since I am not a big
    fan of HIGH recoil weapons This rifle doesn't get used often. It has probably only
    had about 150 to 200 rounds fired through it.

    NO Its not For SALE unless you Live in Charlottesville.
