Ar15 20''

[RevolverRodger]

With all the excitement around short ARs I wonder if anyone still owns old school 20'' A2 or A3 ARs. I like the classic look + the fact that my non modified armalite shoots well with iron sights.

 

[ARmike]

I have a couple.


Still love the 20"

 

[Artiz]

A short AR-15 doesn't mean anything in a safe without a 20" with carry handle.
A classical is a classical, and will always be the most loved AR-15.

 

[Mr AR15]

I have a couple as well. Now that you mention it, I think I will put one on one of my lowers this week and take it out for a date at the range. You know it never complains but that's no reason to neglect it now, is it. As a matter of fact, I'm even going to use open sites and make it feel really happy.

The only AR15 I currently own is a Colt 20" HBar

 

[RevolverRodger]

Nice to see I'm not the only who likes to shoot ARs with iron sights.
Sure aimpoints are quicker but I can still shoot pretty fast and accuratly with the A2 sights.

Maybe one day I'll also get one of those A1's for the retro 'vietnam era' feel.

I have an early pencil M16 upper including original colt chrome bolt carrier (mid - late 60's as the barrel markings are on the bottom of the barrel) plus a minty buttstock and A1 grip.

The lower is Stag (not that there is anything wrong with it but I would prefer original Colt)

Shoots really nice.

 

[RevolverRodger]

Looks real nice... But the lower looks too modern for it

 

[Paulinski]

Kind of hard to find / get and M16 lower

If I could I'll take a GM Hydramatic lower.

 

[riker]

I've owned a dozen or so over the years, form 8.5 to 20 in, Bushy's Colt's ASA and other's. The best out of all of them was my SP1, just like the one in the pic. No forward assist, A1 sites, thin barrel.

 

[Undergiver]

My SP1 clone is my son's favorite.

 

[HeadDamage]

I've sold off all of my shorties and now just use a 20" Hbar and a 20" C7 clone for all my black rifle shooting.

 

[chanman]

If I could I'll take a GM Hydramatic lower.

If you really want a matching SP1, there's one in the EE right now from Weimajack for 1250, I think

Undergiver, nice rifle, needs a 5/20 rd mag and it'll be good to go. What lower do you have?

Myself, I have an M16A1 clone with a PWA A1 style lower and government spares contract upper. Have to swap out a couple of small parts to make it more correct though.

 

[spartan1980]

ive got a Colt Match Sporter HBAR 20" flat top - love it.

you mean like this, it's a Norinco CQ-311

 

[RacerSTA]

I just bought a Bushmaster A3 20" (with HBAR and removable handle)... Looking forward to shooting it and personalizing it a bit! I have been in to IPSC/IDPA handguns for a long time but this is my first real rifle... Hope to have some fun, and use it for IPSC eventually.

 

[smak_daddy]

I have a Colt flat top 20". Amazing!

 

[DASQ]

I have a 20" upper that I need to find an A1 handguard for.

I can swap off the collaspable stock for my A1 stock for the older look if I so please

 

[Pietro Beretta]

I have a Bushmaster A3 HBAR 16"....love the carbine look, but I would really LOVE a full size Colt to keep my Bushy company .
