Looking for an AR

[oldno7]

Sportsman Warehouse was having a "NO TAX" sale.

I didn't really want to buy a registered gun but I "bit the bullet".

Ended up getting a Colt LE6940(upgrade from 6920)

Nice rifle Kurt

I love my old Colt Sporter Lightweight, but it might be time to upgrade after reading about the LE6940.

Loaded up 100 rounds--LC cases, CCI sr, hornady 68gr hpbt, 23.5gr H335

It shot quite well after a little site adjustment, 50-300yds

Now I'll get a scope on it and break out the chrony.

Wanting sub moa groups.

This load was mostly cause I wanted to shoot and refuse to pay $20 box.

At least I have a safe starting point, no signs of excess pressure.

Did I mention these things are FUN.

Just ordered a shell catcher, picking up brass sucks........

[oldno7]

Starting to get a handle on this gun. It is exceeding my expectations for accuracy.

I've only shot reloads out of it, I started with H335 but couldn't get anything inder 1 1/2" reliably.

Went to Varget and much improved.

The target with 4 groups on it, I rotated each time I started a new string.

So far 200 rounds down the pipe.

All groups with Hornady 68gr.HPBT

I bought my 5.56 / .223 AR yesterday, at Cabelas. I was split between the Sig M400, the Colt and the cheaper DPMS Oracle. For $300 less, I opted for the DPMS. I figured that via CheaperThanDirt.com, I could use the $300 to retrofit the DPMS. I just ordered some new hardware today.

[oldno7]

Very Cool

I borrowed a retired police chiefs CMMG .22 conversion, holy crap is that fun and these guns feed the .22 ammo great and suprisingly accurate.

Takes a whole 20-30 seconds to install/remove.

Nice groups.

[oldno7]

Thanks

Not sure why I waited so long to get one of these.

The target with 4 groups on it, I rotated each time I started a new string.

What distance? From a bench? What glass and what mounts?

What range did you shoot at? Makes me think I need to toss a few downrange into some paper m'self. Used to handload for .223 and still have a few rounds kickin' around.

Good lookin' groups!

[oldno7]

Heading back out as we speak.
100yd distance
Portable bench
Rest in front/bag in rear
4-12 scope
Burris P.E.P.R mount QD

have removed and replaced it once and zero held.

I'm going to see what kind of grouping I get with the CMMG conversion, seems most measure that accuracy at 50yds.

Be careful. BRD (Black Rifle Disease) is very addicting and spreads quickly.

I'm afraid it's too late for me, I cleaned and started remodeling my reloading room, went out and bought lots-O-bullets,brass, primers, etc.

Hopefully someone else will benefit from your advice...

[oldno7]

Just back, the CMMG conversion had 2 jambs as I was firing rapidfire at the target.

You tube videos show tighter groups with more premium ammo, this was cheap bulk .22lr.

Still a lot of fun

This was from 50 yds, I was holding the cross hairs on the very top of the target.

[oldno7]

4-groups, not quite as good as previous but this gun will shoot sub MOA all day with this load. 2 groups, shooter error prevented nice grouping.
The group labeled 1, the first shot out of my cold/clean barrel was high, the other 4 were good.
The group labeled 4, my third shot I called a flyer, other than that a decent group as well

As before, I rotated the target 90deg. each group. So the picture here, shows shooting group 3

[BruteForce]

So tomorrow, I will have my optics delivered via UPS and my AR will be complete (quad rail forearm, optics, light, front grip, steel front & rear sights), so I'm going to take it out and shoot it with both .223 and 5.56 rounds. Is the shooting area to the North/West of Utah Lake open again after the Dump Fire, or do they still have that closed off?

My alternative is Lee Kay, as Dougs Shoot'n Sports doesn't allow the .223 or 5.56 in their underground range and my truck won't fit in the parking lot at "Get Some Guns & Ammo" on State Street!

A few photos of my primary and backup Zombie weapons:







DPMS AR-15 in 5.56 purchased from Cabelas for $600, then outfitted with:


-Iron front sight by UTG
-Two color reticle 4x32 scope
-Laser
-Front grip w/flash light
-6.5" quad fore-arm
-5x 30round Magpul magazines
-~1000 rounds of 5.56
-~1000 rounds of 2.23
-Some other stuff I had to take off for the scope (grip handle, front iron sight, etc)




I'm now into this AR-15 well over $1000.

Nice, give us a report after testing.

[BruteForce]

Nice, give us a report after testing.

After mounting the scope, I went out to the west desert to zero it in. Oddly, this scope took me ~40 rounds to get it to zero, but afterward, every shot was within .25inch of center target. The next day, my laser red dot arrived, and I promptly zeroed that to the scope; I haven't yet had a chance to confirm the laser though.

[Glockguy]

Looks good. Done any fun classes yet?

Always wanted one of these guns, and now with the imminent legislation coming down the pipe that is going to ban sales of these gems, I think it is time to throw down. I'm curious as to what you all are spending on these guns and what accessories are "must haves"?
