Looks like in the next few days, I will become the proud adoptive father of a well modified and used Colt Ar-15 HBAR rifle. From what I know about the gun, it is a standard A2 style from the early '80's that has been done over to match grade specs. (local high power teams, and several top 100 finishes at Camp Perry)
I've been searching for all kinds of AR info, but what I'd really like to know is the following:
On a well used AR rifle, what things should I look for that are known wear/abuse areas unique to the design?
What kind of "modifications" am I likely to find that differ from the stock variant that were popular in the late 80's early 90's?
Is there a preferred "Care and Feeding" kit that is popular today? (or specific items that should be in the tool kit)
I'm not one that usually picks up guns sight unseen, but this one is coming from a former club member that I know quite well that is looking to "weed out" and I was in the right place at the right time and we agreed on one HELL of a great price ($600 and he's throwing in 2k of his hand loaded match ammo to boot)
Should get it by the <coming Member only event> so I'll drag it along so someone who really knows these things can give it a once-over for me.
Geeze. Imagine. Me. The guy who swore he'd never own a poodle shooter getting himself a nice pre-ban Colt all set up for match shooting. (^_^)
And now for the important question. Is an AR "high power" enough for detonating Tannerite? (^_^)
