Greetings!
In another thread, Tenbones responded to a picture of my AR-15 Rifle, and he mentioned that we should start a discussion thread about guns and stuff. So, here we are. The 2nd Amendment, pics of guns, performances, experiences, ammo, gear, all the fun things. And of course any hunting or shooting stories and experiences you have.

This is my BCM AR-15 Rifle, 5.56mm Nato. I have a Talon Eagle Scope mounted on it, a Red-Dot Sight on the right side, and a very nice bipod mount. I have various 30-round magazines for it, though for this picture I put my 60-round Drum Magazine on it. The BCM AR-15 Rifle is very rugged, and an outstanding battle rifle in every respect. The BCM AR-15 is virtually unanimously acclaimed as certainly one of the finest versions of the AR-15 Rifle produced on the market. I used to have the lighter, folding stock for the rifle, but because I'm a Marine veteran that trained with the M-16 A2, as well as the SAW, I'm more comfortable with a heavier stock that sits at my shoulder. Thus, I had a Sniper stock mounted on my rifle, which for me, provides greater comfort and stability. Some experts believe that the Sniper stock provides a significant increase in overall accuracy downrange.
I also have a custom, target trigger on the rifle, which makes the trigger-pull smooth as butter, like 2 or 3-pounds. It's a dream to shoot, with a gentle recoil. The weapon has performed with outstanding accuracy with rounds downrange forming consistent, tight groups. The weapon is also surprisingly light and agile. It's "whoa!" levels of light and agile. My experience with my BCM AR-15 has been entirely outstanding, and I highly recommend this weapon for anyone.
As far as price-tag, I invested about $4,000 dollars US into this weapon. $1400 for the basic rifle, another $2,000 for the scope, red-dot sight, bipod, sniper scope, sling, several 30-round magazines, the 60-round Drum magazine, and an awesome complete cleaning kit with extra supplies. Then about $600 dollars US for some extra 30-round magazines, and about 1500 rounds of 5.56mm Nato ammunition. A gunsmith at one of my local gun stores--which also has an inside pistol and rifle gunrange--is an Army veteran of Afghanistan, and he graciously spent two hours or so of his own time to build this animal for me. Interestingly, it is the same rifle and set up that he personally uses as well. He showed me photos of his own BCM AR-15 Rifle, tricked out with all the same goodies. He explained to me that the BCM AR-15 Rifle is outstandingly rugged and accurate, and a weapon you can trust your life with. He told me that he used the same AR-15 rifle in Afghanistan, and also trusted his own life and others with the weapon. So, I also highly recommend this excellent rifle for anyone.
Semper Fidelis,
