Default My New Baby...Yeah, that's right, my baby...

Well after much consternation and many sleepless nights, my Del-Ton M4 kit arrived this past Monday and I put her together about....well....three seconds later. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you my new BFF and closest confidant...my very first AR:













It's a Del-Ton M4 kit with an A3 upper, Wilson 16" chrome-lined barrel 1:9 twist, Stag lower, Del-Ton LPK (DPMS I think) and so forth... Thanks again to Lycanthrope for several nudges in the right direction.

Thanks for looking, sniffle, I just love her so much.....

Congratulations on your very first AR, Slim Pickens! I know the feeling and believe it or not, it was quite touching for me too when I first bought my AR. Oh and you take very nice photos too.

Take care,

rand

Thanks, Rand. I don't think I've put her down since I got her....Except for work, of course!

Thanks, Doc! I've got it bad. I'm already thinking about picking up my next lower...sheesh, maybe I should enjoy this one for a little while first.

Looks good. Got any pics of the BCG? I am interested in seeing how they stake their gas keys.

Thanks.
