Title: The Black Gun Americas Own The AR
Post by: Randy on November 28, 2008, 12:16:46 AM: Join in people. I am a new AR-15 owner and have much to learn. There are so many accessories and options for a AR it is stifling. As well as for the custom builder. My AR-15 is a Bushmaster with a rare 18" match barrel, full float M-4 or flat top receiver. I was told last week that Bushy never made a 18" barrel from a exhibitor at Fremont's show. Hope he is at Millard because I have the email from Bushmaster showing that they did indeed. Only a few hundred for a distributor.

I'd suggest that you jump over to www.AR15.com if you haven't already. Tons of great info and great people there, and be sure to check in on the Nebraska hometown forum.
I'm Rick_NE over there.

Post by: Jesse T on July 16, 2009, 03:04:55 AM: I read ar15.com but dont have an account. Please lets keep this on topic, and tell people about your black magic AR!

Mine is a S&W full lower w/6pos sliding stock, mated to a J&T parted together 16" flat top upper. I want to get a free float system for it but i'm too poor at the moment to sink any money into it. I can't even afford ammo to shoot it! *sigh* someday...

Very nice!

Right now I have a Bushmaster Gas Piston XM15. I just ordered a Daniel Defense Omega free float rail. Other stuff on it is an EOTech 552 on a GG&G quick disconnect mount, GG&G flip-up BUIS, YHM flip-up front sight, GG&G VFG, CAA pistol grip, Surefire 6P with LED drop-in and GG&G ring mount. I'll post some pics once I get the new rail installed. :D

Post by: Jesse T on July 17, 2009, 02:03:00 PM: Yes let me know how easy (or not) the install is, maybe when I get mine you can give me some pointers :)
Title: Re: The Black Gun Americas Own The AR
Post by: SeanN on July 17, 2009, 02:20:34 PM: Well the great thing about the DD Omega rails is they are *super* easy compared to other free float rails. You basically pop off your handguards and put the rail pieces (it's a 2 piece rail) into the delta ring. You then screw the rail together and use 6 set screws to secure it to the barrel nut. Done! That's it! At least, in practice that's how easy it is hehe. I'll let you know how it goes for me!

Post by: Wildgoose on August 19, 2009, 08:46:06 PM: Hi Guys,
I have been on ar15.com since 05' when I got into building AK platform weapons pretty big time. I just recently jumped into an
AR project as I wanted something to get involved in CMP activities around here. So, as of late I have been haunting/posting on the AR side on that list. The AK building game has run on hard times with the barrel ban on parts kits and really rapidly rising costs. I have all of the componets on the way now and should be shooting a Black Rifle in the next few months depending on time to get it assembled.
About the only other thing I have ever seen with more after market stuff to buy for it than an AR is an HD. 8)
