My first AR!

Auto Ordnance reproduction M1 Carbine, with laminated wood stock.
I got this for $500 on gunbroker, which seemed like a good deal. I wouldn't have gotten a reproduction, except I like the unusual stock, and the CMP is out of real carbines now :-(
Gen 4 G26. Put 300 rds through it this afternoon on paper and steel. It's as accurate as I am. Takes a little getting used to having your little finger under the magazine on the draw stroke, and the thumb of the support hand pushed out to the muzzle. Feels nearly identical to the 17 when you toss 17 mags in it. Target is a speed bull shot at 15 yards.

Happy Thanksgiving to me!
It is my first pre-ban lower. Already ordered parts for it. Bunch of BCM parts as well as a Yankee Hill flash hider and Troy 15" TRZ Extreme rail. Planning on a BCM 16" barrel with mid length gas system once the barrel is back in stock.
Its a LRM lower with Remsport lower kit, A2 stock, Its a Remsport upper sporting a 24” Shilen 204 Ruger bull barrel
Not a gun but... I've been wanting a snow thrower ever since I became a home owner in 2009. No more 4 hour shovel marathons for me.
My first AR!
I just picked up my first AR on black friday. A friend of mine and myself took the long trek to visit Remsport. It was worth the trip...

I stole the scope off of my 308 for now until I can afford to buy another one, its a Sightron 6-24 LRMOA reticle with tactical knobs.
I loaded up 80 rds with Nosler 32gn Ballistic Tips with 28.5gns of Varget as a starting load and she was shooting 5 shot groups under 1”. Not too bad for a new barrel and not working up loads.
I will get some better images up soon, anyone have a good load for the 204 in an AR
I've been looking at those "ground hog blower uppers" for a little while. Whats the barrel life like on something like that? I was researching the .223 WSSM (3100 - 4600 FPS) and my Hornady guide states that after 350 rounds their barrel showed significant erosion. It didn't say what their medium velocity was throughout the testing.
With the 204 Ruger doing 3100 - 4200 FPS, I would imagine it could have the same effects on the barrel.
Don't be that guy, give us the specs damnit!
I've never even shot an AR so I figured it was time to pick one up to round out the collection.
