I never had much interest in the AR type rifle before I went into the Marine Corps, and since that time I have owned quite a few of them. The first one is a Rock River uppered Stag I used to have, it was my patrol rifle when I was an LEO. These are early pictures when she was still a DI gun. Not too long after these pictures were taken I had an Adams Arms piston conversion installed as well as a free float hand guard. ![]() ![]() ![]() Due to the restrictions placed on the use of optics as a city police officer, I had to trade the 4X32 ACOG for a 3.5X35 model later. |

The rifle now is in the possession of an old friend of mine that is a School Resource Officer. I used to shoot her at minimum twice a week when I was off duty, I shot this rifle in 3-gun and CQB matches as often as I could. |

next up is a barely pre-ban Colt I bought after returning from OIF in August of 2003. When I bought her, she was new in the box, that changed quickly......... ![]() I used this rifle in stock configuration to stay proficient so I could shoot Expert at the range when it came time for the yearly rifle qual. In the pictures here, she has non-fiber optic back up 4X32 ACOG on her, and a BETA C-MAG. ![]() ![]() |

The AR's had some big company too, namely three FALs I used to shoot pretty regularly. This is an Entreprise FAL carbine I had to sell while I was in college and living off the GI Bill, it hurt like hell to let her go............. ![]() |

And last, was a true oddity for me, a civilian rifle, lol. I found this Remington Model 721 in 06' at a local pawn shop. She wasnt in bad condition, but needed some TLC and I was in search of a project, so I took her home. I can post a thread on her rehabilitation if you guys want, but I'll just post after pictures here. Without her final scope base and glass mounted...... ![]() Her final configuration ![]() ![]() I used her as a partial trade to my gunsmith so I know she has a good home |

Love the 721. Those are classic bolt guns from a classic time in bolt guns. Let us know how it shoots for you.

Oh, I understand that. I've been known to do a little trading, too.

I have a 721 in '06 that came with a 4X weaver in tip off mounts. Nice smooth action. Haven't shot it yet.
