New AR15!
« on: May 17, 2011, 08:35:06 PM »
Well I've been wanting to get one for a long time now..finally pulled the trigger  :IBCOOL:  Blackthorne products AR15 20" stainless bull barrel, chrome lined, adjustable stock, flattop, ncstar 3-9x42 scope with side mounted red dot laser and blue illuminated sniper reticle.  This is my first AR and I was a little leary to say the least, bought the receiver locally and ordered the kit from Blackthorne and the scope off ebay (new).  Had a buddy put the gun together, flawless, he had it together in 30 minutes.  Total package I have $700 in it and am more than impressed.  Gun shoots amazing...hitting quarters at 100 yards in no time and the scope is impressive to say the least, crystal clear and the red dot will go 100 yards no sweat.  If anyone is looking for a low priced AR I really dont think you can beat this for the quality, price, etc.  Im gonna have to get another job to buy ammo for this thing  :chuckle:  300 rounds through so far and not a glitch.  Couple pics of it and one of my buddy shooting it after we got it sighted in.
Coyotes beware  :mgun:

The rifle looks good.  The rig looks like my buddy's Yukon.  I call it the "Pimpmobile".  :chuckle:

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

Nice looking build. What ammo are you shooting? I've got an Oly with a 16" barrel and can shoot very tight 100 yard groups with the black hills blue box with v-max bullets. 55 gr i believe.

Cap.Silver - Scope is model # SRTP3942G.  Got this new off ebay for $130.  Like I said very impressed with it so far, lifetime warranty, waterproof.  AR is model # AR-RKV20.

Goosegetter - would you be willing to ship the ammo?  I'll definately buy it and pay for whatever the shipping is plus a little for your effort.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
