Ye Olde Rifle Picture Thread

[rightisright]

My latest AR build was designed to be a low cost but reliable gun. All the parts have been lying around for 6 months or so. Today, work was a rain-out, so I finally got some time to put her together.

Specs and cost:

Palmetto State Armory Stainless midlength 1:7 twist everything but the lower kit: $379 w. free shipping.
Surplus Arms and Ammo lower: $60 including tax + $15 NICS = $75
Magpul rear MBUS: $36
Troy Claymore Muzzle Brake (folks in free states can deduct this) $55 (P.S. These things are a complete bitch to drill)
Ergo grip I had lying around: $20 ??

Total cost: $565

If you subtract the cost of the brake (and use the included A2 birdcage) and the grip, the total would be $490

Reliability: Yet to be determined. Hoping to hit the range soon. But the striped bass are running hard at the Jersey shore, so the range may have to wait.

I like the AK as a cheap truck gun but I am better with AR controls under stress, it doesn't have a curved and therefore "shoot on sight" mag, etc, etc. I'm not going to war with it, if I have to get into the trunk and grab it and my body armor things have gotten hairy. Either active shooter hairy and I feel like tucking in (so there is a chance folks think I'm a cop) or "help! Help! We're all gonna die!" and then it doesn't matter.

A LaRue-Seekins build that became my favorite, and my AR SBRs. Also, I suck at taking pictures.

I ran your theory about the "shoot on sight" between an AK and an AR in this type scenario past a friend of mine in LE. He thought a second and said if he saw the AR, he would probably at least challenge you prior to opening up.

He didn't specifically state what he would do on spotting an AK, but I got the impression that shoot first, ask questions later would be the response.

(He also one time stated that he would be happy to testify as a character witness should I ever be accused of attempted murder, because he would know that the "attempted" part would be a damned lie)
