Lets see your .223 California Legal Self Loading Rifle!

Hey - I don't want to bust anyone's balls - but is that navy digital camo BLUE?

Lemme guess, so when the guys are out to sea the enemy won't see them? They'll think they're attacking ghost ships with invisible sailors?

Yes, the Navy camo is basicly a dark blue scheme of ACU. My buddy in the Navy thinks it's horrid because they'll never find you when you fall overboard.

I have never been on a ship, nor will I ever be on a ship because I am a fmf corpsman. From my understanding, when you are out on sea, you where a reflective vest with a blinking beacon. I like our NWUs, they fit well and are comfortable. I wear the Marine uniform everyday and I am a ground pounder, so do quote me on that.

Where are you stationed?

My turn, This is my OD GREEN CA LEGAL AR15. Now I just have to figure out which sight I want.

That is my take on the IDF. I love the IDF style, but I like mid length more than carbine, so that is what I went with. I have been looking for a while for an A1 to replace the A3 upper, though I love the LMT BUIS. I have since replaced the Ergo grip with the good old A2 grip.

I'm building something similar to the old school IDF rifles from the ground up, a USAF GAU-5A/A Clone. A1 slick side upper, 11.5" light weight barrel, A1 Flash Hider, A1 Grip, CAR15 handuards, but I have to build it on a pistol lower with just a buffer tube and no slip-on plastic stock. I also replaced the iron sights with updated tritium night sight versions. Other than that, it's as close as I can make to the rifle I was issued.

One of the things I like most about the IDF rifles is they are pretty much the same rifles we carried when I was in the USAF in the early 90s.

Oh so lightweight and compact.

I still have the tricked out modern rifles with all the bells. I just wanted one basic KISS AR that was as close to what I was issued as possible.

Shaved off my FSB so I could put on a Troy MRF-MX. I got a great deal on eBay for the Troy rail, 3 Troy rail covers, and a set of Troy flip sights all for under $400.



Here she is now

Beautiful rifle Andrew!

This is one of my favorite rifles. Not exactly and AR but its a .223. Or self loading for that matter. Oops!

Doc, how do you like the Millet? Pretty accurate? Stays zeroed?

Thinking of getting one, just because the price seems right until I can afford something nicer.

It is a great little scope. I like it a lot. The eye relief takes a little getting used to because it is close. Having a monolithic type rail really helps. It stays zeroed because I have a really good mount for it. There is no point getting the scope and having a cheap mount, it will only disappoint you. I had a CAA mount and I hated it.

Here is one of my carbines (I am a mid length guy, but still have a couple carbines) with a Gen 1. I like this mounting set up too. I used this set up for several competitions back in AZ and placed really well. The scopes does take a lot of practice to get good with especially in close quarters where you need fast target acquisition.

Millet Scope
GG&G extended scout mount
Millet rings
RRA 2 stage trigger

My SU-16

Here's a few pics taken by my friend of my rifle and kit. They are a bit old, taken sometime little over a year ago; I have since repainted the rifle with some desert shadows and dapple patterns, but I think these pics are still nice enough to share!

[Pistolwhipped]

Wtf! (_O_) Its all blown out and nasty by now.
