Show Off Your AR Builds: A Gallery for All Skill Levels

[Alan]

Hey everyone! Let's turn this thread into a fun show-and-tell for all things AR rifle. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just starting out, share your photos, parts list, and stories behind your builds. I’m always curious to see the creativity out there—what worked, what didn’t, and anything in between. Can’t wait to see what you all have put together!

I just picked this one up about a week ago. It is not a build but, a no longer available Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Optic Ready. This is not the Sport model and has a chrome lined barrel.

The one above, now upgraded with new furniture and metal irons.

I just completed this one for a range toy. It has an Anderson 16", 1:8 twist and 15" M-Lok upper. PSA lower with a Ti-7 buttstock. I have a Toolcraft BCG and an Enhanced Polished FCG on the way to round it out. It is outfitted with a Primary Arms PAC2.5x optic and Magpul MBUS sights. I need a sling for it also.

Real EO Tech?

Real EO Tech?

Naaa, one of the counterfeit ones, can't remember if this was OP (they sold me 2 fakes), or Amazon (one there, yes I should have known better but I did get my money back). Of the 3 this is the only one that works, one has no windage, and the other no elevation. Free, except for all the aggravation.

Replace the counterfeit Eotech with a replica ACRO (it was too heavy for pistol), and figured out how to fix the counterfeit Eotech magnafyer on my son's restricted state build.

As ugly as it looks it shoots fantastic. The grip mimics the contours of the venerable M1 Carbine, and actually (I'm sure 6 years of military school carrying one has nothing to do about it) feels more natural to me than a traditional pistol grip. I've got another Thorsden and I'm probably going to use it on my non restricted state hunting (.410) build, along with a cross bolt safety.
