    It's a DPMS Model A-15 chambered in 5.56mm flat top, no iron sights/optics, it also has a flat gas block with a 24'' bull barrel. The paperwork in the gun states that it will shoot sub 1.5 inch groups at 500 yards. I have already added a Rock Mount bi-pod and a Tasco 3x9x40 that I got from Uncle Jerky for now. It did come with 2 thirty round mags... Anywho, enough talking, here's the pics.

    Opened the case when I got it home... came with the strap, cleaning kit, 2 mags, and hard shell case...

    Very nice gun.....for an AR :p

    Sorry, had to do that! It really is a sharp looking gun. I'm just jealous because I don't have the cash to throw down on a gun like that.

    And, glad to see you made it back safe to Phoenix El!!

    That is the result of my 5 week TDY to Las Vegas. I told the wife that I worked my arse off for it, so I deserved to get whatever I want. The good thing is, I can now order a full upper from DPMS and have it shipped here to the house. I will probably get a 16 inch barrel M4 style...

    Talking to Stryker1 on the phone tonight, he told me that I got the Chevy 350 of rifles, you can mod them out with anything you want. I like that analogy.

    Awesome rifle there Primal, and great picture of the cat as well :) Do you mind if I ask how much it set you back? I'm starting to save up for one of those myself now, and haven't decided what to go with. Also, be sure to let us know how things go at the range :D

    Nice!

    I love the rifle--

    One thing that always makes me crazy is in your sig---

    The picture on your T shirt makes me think--

    Bruce Dickinson-- I don't remember him saying the cowbell line, but I do remember Will Ferrel off of SNL doing an Eric Bloom of Blue Oyster Cult impersonation banging the crap out of the cowbell--

    ANyway, congrats on the rifle--

    :D

    PS B.O.C. is my favorite band of all time-- so I may be a bit of a fanboy---

    :oops:

    What the heck? That is just so cool! I know you have been waiting for along time. But I sure am glad you stepped up the the plate and got the heavy titanium barrel :p ... No really that is very cool! I know what it is like getting one you have been wanting for a long time. Enjoy the honeymoon with the new girl. Congrats!

    Nice! Someday. I'm still kicking my butt over not getting one a few years back. Guy got in trouble and had to clear out his stuff. Could have gotten his AR for something like $250 at the time. Problem was I could never get a hold of him until it was too late and it was gone.

    By the way Primal, don't you just love those "Operation Provide Per Diem" TDY trips? Paid for a lot of stuff that way when I was in the AF too.
