Favorite AR-15/M-16 Variants

Lots of new variants of the Black Rifle.

Here is one of my favorites, a very nice toy for rapid medium range interdiction.

The SPR (thanks, MSTN for the pics). Only difference from the issued version is the stock.

That is a Seeberger OPS, Inc. 12th Model, IIRC. His cans are the best I have ever heard, and are extremely durable. Because his company is in Kalifornia, due to the State's brilliant crime prevention legislation, they cannot be sold to civilians anywhere, even as Class III transfers.

It is so quiet that you can hear the spring cycling in the stock and the bolt reciprocating.

You can stand parallel to the muzzle and burn 5.56 rounds (or .50BMG with his big can) without ears.

Here is his site, I have a file of the 5.56 with can on full auto but .wmv files are not supported.

Those are some very impressive videos.

Even just to shoot it once or twice.

Send a note to MSTN.

He is one of Seeberger's buds.

I have fired the 5.56, .408 Chey-Tac, and .50 BMG versions. I love them.

Here is an M-4 that I play with on occasion.

Rear sight is off for cleaning, but I usually have the ARMS #40L on it or a cut down A2 sight.
