...I mean that you own?
My latest is an AR10T with an Eagle Arms lower, and an Armalite T upper.
I haven't gotten to shoot it much since I bought it just before Christmas. Only put about 80 rounds through it, most were load development/chorny work, and just grouping for the load work, so no just for fun shooting yet.
It's been quite a path to this rifle. It started about a year and a half ago in a pawn shop. I went in to look at what they had, and to pick up a couple cheap movies with my son (6yr old). Just before we left, he saw a flahs suppressor sticking up over hte top of the counter and asked what kind of gun it was. I couldn't see the rifle, but recognized the preban M14 flash hider, so I asked the guy if I could see it. He picked it up and I recognized the stock to be a Macmillan camo stock. I took a quick once over and saw some interesting things- earlier serial #, heavy barrel, National Match trigger and rear sight, so I asked the guy the price and it was under $1000. Long story short, I walked out with it. I couldn't afford it, and just bought it to resell. I knew I could make a quick $100+ on it, and if I didn't buy it then, it wouldn't be there for a full week at the price.
So about two months later I sold it for a nice profit. It turned out to be a USMC prepped National Match M1A. As much as I liked it, it was for sale from day one. So about a week after selling it I started looking for another gun to turn a little profit on. I found an Armalite AR10T on anauction site with no bids. I ended up winning it for $1250 and sold it a month later for $1570. I liked it, but again, it was just for $$.
So after a few buys and sells, the gun ban was to the point of dying. I had a recently converted no ban AK47 semi, and it was becoming hard to find just after the ban. I have a sound suppressor for a .30 cal bolt action, and had an itch for a semi to use it on. So, I went over my options, and ended up buying another AR10. I chose it becuase it's capable of excellent accuracy, is easier to use a suppressor with than an M1A, the barrel can be swapped at home, and it was a rifle just waiting to be liberated from the Postban status. So I started searching, found an upper, sold my AK, and bought a lower for the AR10 and assembled it. I pulled the trigger group out of my AR15, and took the 10 to the range. My first group using some standard match loads showed proof it was capable of grat accuracy. It shot well under an inch. So after a week of owning it, I was looking for someone to do the threading and cutting of the barrel. So I had it cut to 22", threaded to use my suppressor.
I went to the range a week later with some loads I was working on, and it shot right around 1/2" groups. It was getting dark quick ,a dn my main reason to the range was to test the function with the suppressor ounted. all worked fine.
Since then, my truck has been down for repairs, and the repairs have gone slow due to the temps outside, late work hours, and such. So another weekend of repair time and my truck is back on the road, and the AR10T will return to the range to finish the load work.
So it had become my hunting rifle for next year.
Whats your favorite and what makes it so?
