The AR-15

[NMC_EXP]

A worthy goal for AR15 shooters

In 2011 Carl Bernosky tied the National record for offhand shooting at the National Matches.
--The rifle was an AR15 based match rifle.
--Metallic (iron sights).
--Position was offhand/standing with no support.
--Range = 200 yards.
--Target = SR. The 10-ring is 7" diameter. The X-ring is 3" dia.
--His score was 200-15x. Out of 20 shots fired, 15 hit the X-ring, the other 5 were in the 10-ring.

Not too shabby for standing on his hind legs and using iron sights.

This is a photo of the actual target:

Here's the one that gets used and gets dirty. It's pretty simple really, just some iron sights and a light. A couple of spare batteries fit inside the pistol grip.

To be fair, the rifle he used is about as far from an M16/AR15 as it gets.

Incredible shooting no less, the amount of focus it takes to shoot that well off hand is eye tingling and mind numbing, I haven't cleaned the off hand yet... Come close though.

I am a HUGE fan of the AR platform. It is accurate, lightweight, versatile, durable, and reliable(if run well lubricated)
Here are some of mine






This ones not an AR but VERY fun none the less

Bernosky's rifle is an AR-15 in one of the 6mm calibers. Bernosky is a marksman, and I suspect the type of rifle and caliber makes little difference to him in offhand.

I made that post as a contrast to the AR-15 squirt guns and shooters whose objective seems to be turning the maximum amount of ammunition into noise and smoke in the minimum amount of time.....without hitting anything ;-)

Touché, and I'm Positive that he would hit with anything you put in his hands.

I'm assuming you're not new to the HP scene, I started shooting in 2008 with MCRD SD.

HP setups are just too wacky. The weighted lead in the rear for balance was a real- I dunno, just oddball for me.

Just poking a little fun at the tacticool crowd.

I started HP in the 80's with a DCM Garand. Eventually upgraded to an M1A. I never could get comfortable with an AR-15 so I stayed with the M1A. I have to admit with 77 and 80 gr bullets, the AR-15 can shoot with the .30 calibers out to 600 yards. In the rapid fire stages the non-existent recoil is a major advantage over the .30 calibers.

I'm pretty much done with the "across the course" stuff and am easing into mid and long range prone. Bought a Winchester Model 70 match rifle in .30/06 for that. Yup - I'm a dinosaur.

I finally succumbed to the draw of an AR. Just before Newtown, I picked up a Colt 6920PD and did a little accessorizing with an Aimpoint Pro, Surefire, BCM and Spikes. Right after this I had a bad accident and didn't shoot for a year, I'm back to it now.

Not an ar but I wouldn't trade it for anything

This is a mini 14 that I built up over about a year. It's wearing a troy MCS stock, a mako recoil reduction stock, a custom muzzle brake from accuracy systems, all new springs, and a mo-rod Barrel stabilizer. Then a rattle can camo paint job. It's running a sightmark tactical red dot, with troy back up iron sights, a mag-pul foregrip, Harris bipod and a hogue grip. And I made up a Plano gun guard case to keep it out of sight.

 

[Aquafbody]

Also not AR's but still need lovin' A Yugo SKS and an FAL

 

[NMC_EXP]

I'm trying to conjure why anyone needs a muzzle brake and/or recoil reducing stock on a gas operated, semiautomatic, .223 caliber rifle....
