My first purchase was a Springfield Armory Saint Edge. I'd been looking to enter into the AR realm and read a lot of great reviews when the Edge was introduced so I ordered one. It is light, functions flawlessly and has many features found on more expensive models.

My second is a build - my son and I decided to try our hand at builds together. We ordered PSA rifle kits when they went on sale around the 4th of July. The upper cam assembled and I bought a CMMG lower for it. I swapped out all the furniture for Magpul and have a LaRue trigger on order for it. It's got a SPARC AR red dot on it and is a tight shooter.

I then decided that I wanted to try my hand at a complete build. This one was built in .223 Wylde with a PSA lower and an Aero upper. I've only put maybe 20 rounds through it at this point so it still needs to be dialed in. I tried a scope and mount from Monstrum. It had good reviews and for under $200. So far, I've been happy with it.

This one I just got two days ago - I won it in a raffle fundraiser for a veterans group. It is a Thompson (Kahr) AR 15 AOX10.5-01 pistol. It came with sights and horizontal fore grip. The blade is a Shockwave. It is barreled in .223 Wylde. It is my first time working with an AR pistol - and I'm liking it a lot. I put 30 rounds through it when I got home from the Tommy Gun Warehouse in Greely where I picked it up. It is a cannon and the occasional flame licks out of the muzzle brake...like being back in Field Artillery. Kahr (under the Thompson/Auto Ordnance brand) manufacturers them at the Greely plant now and they make both rifle and pistol versions. They are sold through limited dealers and at the retail store.
