Just curious as to what brands of AR you fine folks here at THR own. :D

I have an LMT.

Edit: I couldn't fit all of the brands I could think of. One missing that I would have liked to add is Norinco. And please don't be offended if I didn't include a brand that you have. I wrote them down as I thought of them, and if I have over looked any, I assure you it was not intentional.

Poll in no particular order.

Also, feel free to post pics! Nothing wrong with a little gun pron. ;)

I usually refer to my AR's by the barrel maker/seller. How did you miss all four of mine? This is a conspiracy. Anyway, they are all Franken guns, I have guns with barrels from CMMG, Larue, Bison, Dtech. The guts vary as well from one to another as do the accoutrements.

Sorry man, no conspiracy, the poll could have a maximum of 20 options, and I filled out the first 18 that popped into my head (ensuring the other/franken gun options would be there).
 
CMMG lower
Spike's Enhanced LPK
Spikes Upper
Daniel Defense F/A BCG
Midwest Industries MI-SS12
LMT Tactical Rear BUIS
Magpul MBUS2 front BUIS
Stag Low-pro gas block

Things to be added/changed, in order:
Add Troy M16A4 sling mount
Buy 14.5" upper assembly w/pinned muzzle device for barrel OAL of 16"
Add Aimpoint Micro T-1 in LaRue mount to current upper
replace LMT rear sight with DD fixed rear sight, Troy fixed rear BUIS or LaRue BUIS
Replace A2 stock with Vltor A2 Modstock or Vltor A5 stock
cut barrel to 17.5", open gas port
 
I own several rifles but I only own complete rifles from Colt. I build a lot of custom rifles and the other lowers that I personally own are built off of Noveske and one Sun Devil. As for parts for builds I primarily use parts from a few different manufacturers such as Colt, Noveske, BCM, LMT and Daniel Defense. I am currently waiting on parts for a Noveske FFL gen 2 lower and a Noveske N6 lower.
 
First one a Model 1 upper 20'' hbar,Armalite ''eagle'' lower, timney trigger, rra free float ocmp tube under factory handguards, Second a DSA M-4 type upper, Aero Precision lower, stock trigger with the really fun slidefire stock : )
 
It's Frankenshhteeen :D

Del-Ton midlength upper on a DoubleStar lower...
only add-ons are a Levang linear comp, MaTech BUIS & the Millet DMS-1 scope.

I own 2 frankenARs.

One is a complete BCM 16" mid length flat top upper in 5.56, pencil barrel on a Doublestar lower containing an RRA 2-stage trigger group.

The other is a retro AR I completed a few months ago done up to look like an early XM16E1 (experimental version of the M16A1, pre adoption). This one was built using a Del-Ton 20" pencil barrel in with a 5.56 chamber, NoDak Spud upper and lower recievers, a Young Mfg Chrome BCG, standard GI trigger and numerous retro (dimpled) small parts/controls from Heat 'N Beat, other controls from DPMS and Del-Ton and the remaing parts (like the twig catcher flash hider, stock, PG and handgaurds) from other suprlus sources.

Surplus arms and ammo lower, stag LPK, Armalite upper, geissele trigger. Hows that for frankenstine
 
I own a complete RRA ATH and five other mixmaster AR's. The uppers are S&W, BCM, CMMG, Delton and my first upper build (Areo upper with Nordic/Wilson barrel). For lowers I have three Cav Arms MKII lowers and two Surplus Arms and Ammo lowers that I built with RRA two stage LPK's.
 
Had this genuine Colt for 33 years. At that time there were no clones. Wouldn't have bought one if there were. Also see no need for gadgets and geegaws sticking out like an angry porcupine. Rifle works fine as is.

Have S&W and Colt complete rifles. My franken guns are built on Sundevil lowers, have RRA, Oly, and Colt uppers. Also have a Cav Arms polymer lower....very light.
 
Sabre lower, Stag upper assembly, Midwest Industries ERS, Doublestar LPK. The next build will be even more diverse.
