Six more hours and it's mine
Just bragging a bit, I suppose
My first AR-15. She's old, but solid. From the markings I can find without taking it apart: Late '70s vintage Palmetto Armory lower, not Palmetto State Barrel bears Colt proof marks, may be a full Colt upper Solid shooter based on the few times I've fired it. Yes, it's a grainy pic, but you get the idea This is going to be a loooong work day

Darn, I knew I forgot to do something last night
Cleaned the mags out this morning before work - boy were they filthy. On the plus side - all 3 20-rounders are Colt. 2 Adventureline 30-rounders. Got about 800 rounds of .223, cleaning kit, and bag with it as well. It's good to buy from family - I'm in the doghouse for it though, my wife to be had planned on buying it from her dad to give me as a wedding present

Stressfire,
From what I can see thats a beauty of a rifle. congratulations...My first AR was a colt m16 parts set that was built on a CMMG lower (semi of course)..I have since replaced the cmmg with a nodak spud, to give it a correct look for a 'Nam era rifle. Its the best rifle in the safe as far as Im concerned. |

Looks like an awesome Rifle. Sure don't see much of the classic triangle foregrips anymore.

The more "classic" look was the biggest attraction. Will be taking it out for a spin tomorrow if weather permits

Lucky dawg!! The 70's/80's Palmetto Armorys were SP1 BILLET-machined lowers done by Olympic Arms (SGW at the time, IIRC). AFAIK; the first commercial billet AR lowers.
That's gonna make a GREAT retro build! Been looking for one of those forever... |
