There it is. Someone has finally come out with a 5.56mm upper receiver assembly for the AR15/M16. Yes, it's a little more money than that tricked out thumbhole AK sporter. But it's certain to be on many of our "wish lists". Click on the source link to check it out. Happiness is indeed a warm gun - especially one that's belt fed and weighs about 8 pounds.

Take that, gun grabbers! FMCDH

Oooooo, me want, ME WANT!!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Got to have one. Great deer gun.

[11B3]

PING!

[Atlas Sneezed]

They have been "announcing" this for years.

When it is verified that they have shipped one (for $3000), let us know.

I expect that there will be cheaper units out there from competitors first, before Ares ships.

your ass-to-risk!"

[Cachelot]

Ummm... what exactly is the point of a belt-fed ar15? Aside from looking cool? :).

Well, it's certainly on my wish-list... Time to start saving money, I guess.

[Dr Warmoose]

Just as long as it doesn't have a bayonette lug, it should be OK.

[Mr. Mojo]

Feinswine is probably ordering one right now. ....before she decides to legislate against it.

[bluGTP]

That might work for the super-possum in my backyard

[Yo-Yo]

Hmmm, I wonder if Kalifornia would count a belt feed as a magazine that exceeds ten rounds in capacity.

[B-Chan]

I've always wanted to fire up a SAW...

[Bon mots]

WOW!! No more squirrels in the bird feeder!!

[Bon mots]

I would rather one of these...

[Bahbah]

Wow. Very impressive looking machine.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Aside from looking cool? :).

Is any furter justification needed and besides, gun grabbers positively HATE them.

Been thinking of a belt fed 1919A4 in 8mm myself. Ammo is $60/1000.

[verity]

Can you afford the ammo?

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'm with you. That is a good deer rig.

While you're here, take a minute to check out the weapons at this US Army site - there's a ton of fun stuff in here. (I'd post them here, but it's a .pdf file that I don't know how to get individual pages out of.) The weapons are in the first 10 or so pages out of 43 - but all of it is interesting.
