Of course claiming a definitive list to AR enthusiasts is tantamount to using a .25 caliber to clear your sinus—but I thought it might get your attention and while you are here you might as well read on comment with your own list. Despite the efforts of the Antis, there has never been a better time to be a gun enthusiast than today. Every famous model of gun in history got its start in the military or possibly law enforcement and filtered down to the hands of civilians and the AR-15 or MSR is no different. Which is better the Winchester Model 70 or Remington 700? At least the answer to that question is likely to bring a little more than a smile and few terse words. However, if you ask which AR platform is the best and you are likely to spark a conversation worthy of shaming the Hatfields & McCoys.
Never one to err on the side of caution, coupled with the fact Stoner’s design; the War on Terror; the explosion of 3-Gun competitions; the threat of another “Crime Bill” and a nation with a ravenous appetite for ARs here is my short list of must own ARs. In truth, while these are my top production models, it would really be hard to go wrong given the quality of today’s offerings. Here’s five in no particular order.
BCM M4 Carbine
The BCM M4 Carbine is chock full of features that make it worthy of being a Top 5. One of the simplest, yet critical is the BCMGunfighter Charging handle. On the surface it seem minor. You pull it and a round gets chambered. If we look a bit deeper though into modern training doctrines and practices, it has us working the charging handle with our support hand while the primary hand stays on the pistol grip of the weapon. Initially, the weapon was designed for the shooter to grasp the charging handle with their firing hand, and to pull directly to the rear. The straight-back method reduced the stress on the charging handle roll pin, but takes us out of a firing position. By switching to the flat of your support hand, or index finger off your support hand to pull back on the charging handle while pushing forward with their firing hand on the pistol grip.
Other notables include the factory machined M4 feed ramps on the receiver are hard coat anodized which adds significant strength to the aluminum. An independently certified Mil-Spec 11595E barrel steel, Carpenter No. 158 steel machined bolt and 1/7 twist rate. The barrel is chrome lined, which has become a standard for battle rifles around the world, increases velocity, resists fouling and corrosion from extended use in the field and a longer barrel life with less required time in maintenance and cleaning.
Colt SP6920
Nearly five decades, a half-century, have elapsed since Colt’s M16 was first fielded by the U.S. Military. Since that time, Colt has never surrendered its position as one of the world’s preeminent AR manufacturers. Simply put, Colt’s 6920 is the closest thing to what the military is using—minus the happy switch of course—‘nuff said.
Colt’s 6920 starts with a high-strength polymer, four-position, collapsible stock on the lower receiver assembly and a standard, semi-automatic AR-15 trigger assembly inside. The muzzle compensator reduces muzzle climb and helps eliminate flash and dust signatures.
Colt uses carpenter steel and tests each individual bolt to check for micro fissures or defects that could cause a failure down the road. As far as I know… Colt and FN are the only companies that fire a proof load on every bolt before it is inspected that I know of.
Daniel Defense M4 Carbine, V5 LW (Lightweight Barrel)
DD V5 Light Weight, is everything you need in a homegrown defensive carbine. Put one up against a military M4 though the DD will come up a bit light. Well, not actually a bit; it’s more like 10 ounces. One of the main reasons is the lightweight barrel. Let’s be honest, unless you have an M203 with ammo for it, you really do not need a heavy barrel. However, if you are going to carry the gun for professional reasons or while traversing the hills on a hunt, those ounces are going to make a ton of difference.
Beyond the weight factor, the DD M4 has much of the furniture you’d upgrade other ARs with after plopping down your greenbacks. Features include an Omega X Rail with low-profile covers, A2 flash hider, Magpul 30-round P Mag and MOE buttstock, Daniel Defense A2 pistol grip, and vertical foregrip. The upper and lower receivers are military spec with an M4 feed ramp, an enhanced/flared magazine well, and an H buffer. The bolt group is mil-spec and properly staked. Of course to be included in any list of top ARs, the DD V5 Lightweight has a chrome steel barrel with a 1/7 twist.
Lewis Machine & Tool CQB MRP Defender
Probably the best argument for the popularity of LMT’s guns is that it is constantly runs a backorder status. That being said, the CQB MRP Defender features a CQB MRP upper receiver with 16-inch chrome lined, 1/7 twist barrel. The Monolithic Rail is not separate from the receiver; it’s fabricated from a single block of aluminum. This allows the operator to quickly change the free-floating barrel using only a Torx wrench in a matter of seconds.
The free-floating barrel helps with accuracy and keeping the gun cool. When you look through the quad-rail forend, you’ll see the gas tube is slightly different from a standard AR gas tube. On the LMT CQB, it’s a straight shot from front to back, which I believe aids in the smooth feel and operation.
Other notables include the piston semi auto bolt carrier group, tactical charging handle assembly, defender lower with SOPMOD buttstock and standard trigger group. The LMT CQB MRP Defender comes standard with tactical adjustable rear sight, tactical front sight, (2) heavy-duty push button swivels, (1) thirty round magazine, torque wrench / driver and (3) rail panels, A2 birdcage compensator, low-profile gas block, cryogenically-treated barrel and electronically tested and recorded trigger pull.
DIY AR-15 on the Cheap
Of course a top gun in anyone’s book has to be a DIY gun on the cheap. I don’t care if it shoots minute-of-clay-pigeon or minute-of-coyote when you are finished. Three things are going to be certain. First, a bad guy looking at the bore of your home build is still going to need to change his shorts, and ain’t going to stick around to be the subject of your next accuracy check. Second, building your own AR is the ultimate erector set, and last—as an absolute-worst-case-scenario— it will make a great truck gun or something to tuck away in a bug out kit. It will certainly give you an appreciation and education of ARs when you sit down with a few boxes of parts and assemble one from scratch.
It took me a total of about five minutes to come up with everything you should need to put together an AR on the cheap.

In 1836, Colt formed the Patent Arms Company. His first product was a ring-lever repeating rifle. The ring acted as a cocking lever to advance the cylinder between shots.
Colt Model 1855 Revolver Rifle
Around the same time, the Second Seminole War—also known as the Florida War—was raging and gave Colt his first break. The Seminoles had uncovered a weakness in the U.S. soldier’s tactics due to the nature of single-shot rifles. To exploit the soldier’s weakness, the Seminoles would simply draw the soldier’s fire and then attack them while reloading and before they could reload for a second volley.
Quite naturally, the Colt rifles proved a success in preventing the Seminole’s tactic and the Army began purchasing rifles for the Florida campaign. As a result, the success of the new repeating rifle spurred the development of the five-shot Patterson revolver with folding triggers.
Less than 1,000 of these rifles were produced by Colt and your chance of picking one up one of the few surviving examples… well, let’s just say you’d need pretty deep pockets. Although not the first revolving rifle the most popular example of the day would be the Model 1855. In 1855 Colt introduced a spur trigger revolver that featured a fully enclosed cylinder. During the same year, Colt produced the sidehammer Model 1855 rifles and carbines for military and sporting use, as well as a revolving shotgun.
Rossi Circuit Judge Convertible Revolver Rifle 22 LR/.22 Magnum
The Modern Day Revolver Rifle
The concept of the Rossi Circuit Judge dates back to the early Colt Revolving rifles. With that nostalgia feel, Rossi has made an affordable, modern-day version in a .22 LR /.22 Mag. convertible. The cylinders of the Circuit Judge can be easily changed in less than 10 seconds. It can serve as not only one, but two guns with multiple purposes for different ranges. For plinking and recreational shooting, use the .22 rimfire cylinder and for $20 bucks you can have an afternoon of fun and cheap shooting with ammo left over. Switch to the .22 Mag. cylinder and you have an effective varmint round out to 100 yards (some folks say 150 yards)! I am not aware of any other .22 rifles with this much versatility.
The Circuit Judge .22 LR/.22 Mag. gives you the versatility and speed you need. It easily transforms from .22LR to .22 Mag. in seconds with its breakthrough removable cylinder. It’s everything you could ever want for plinking, target practice or varmint hunting with these popular and affordable ammunition choices.
If you are looking for a bit more bang! for you buck you can always look at one of the Circuit Judge’s other chamberings including: 28 gauge, .410 3-in. / .45 LC, or .44 Mag.

This year’s election is going to define the future of our freedom, perhaps more than any other in our history. For gun owners, there are a number of areas crucial to the survival of our Second Amendment rights. That’s why I took the time to visit with Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, to find out precisely where he stands on the issues of concern to gun owners.
Chris W. Cox: First, let me start with the most basic question of all. In the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, and in the 2010 case McDonald v. City of Chicago, the U.S. Supreme Court—by a 5-4 majority—held that the Second Amendment guarantees the fundamental, individual right of all law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms. Do you agree that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental, individual right to own and use firearms for all lawful purposes?
Gov. Mitt Romney: Absolutely, and I was pleased when the Court finally rendered a clear and concise decision on this critical issue. The Second Amendment is essential to our free society. I strongly support the right of all law-abiding Americans to exercise their constitutionally protected right to own firearms and to use them for lawful purposes, including self-defense; the protection of family and property; hunting and recreational shooting.
Cox: Obviously, America’s 100 million gun owners are very concerned their Second Amendment rights hang in the balance at the U.S. Supreme Court by just one vote. President Obama’s two nominees to the Court so far—Justices Sotomayor and Kagan—have a history of anti-gun opinions and activism. And some have predicted that if Barack Obama is re-elected, he may have the opportunity to nominate several more justices to the Court. As president, if you had the opportunity, what type of individuals would you nominate to the Supreme Court? And which of the justices currently serving on the Court would you consider to be the best models of your judicial philosophy?
Gov. Romney: Chris, I believe the next president could indeed have the opportunity to shape the Court for decades to come, and that’s a key reason why the tens of millions of Americans who support the NRA should support my candidacy. My view of the Constitution is straightforward: Its words have meaning. The founders adopted a written constitution for a reason. They intended to limit the powers of government. The job of a judge is to enforce the Constitution’s restraints on government and, where the Constitution does not speak, to leave the governance of the nation to its elected representatives. I believe in the rule of law, and I will appoint wise, experienced and restrained judges who take seriously their oath to discharge their duties impartially in accordance with our Constitution and our laws—not their personal policy preferences.
I do not support any additional laws to restrict the right to keep and bear arms. …The NRA said at the time that it included “the greatest set of firearm law reforms since the passage of the Commonwealth’s worst-in-the-nation gun laws … a breath of fresh air for law-abiding gun owners.”
Cox: Let’s do a quick rundown of where you stand on some gun laws our opponents have been pushing for many years. Do you support additional federal regulation of gun shows?
Gov. Romney: I do not support further federal regulation of gun shows. There are tens of thousands of gun shows in local communities every year. Gun shows are not only an opportunity for millions of law-abiding Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights, but also their First Amendment right to assemble and speak. Anti-gun organizations have perpetrated this myth that somehow laws don’t apply at gun shows and that’s nonsense. All sales from federal firearm licensees are regulated no matter where they take place, and private sales are regulated at gun shows just as they are anywhere else.
Cox: Gun owner licensing?
Gov. Romney: That’s another solution in search of a problem. I do support the current National Instant Check System, because it simply verifies that a gun buyer is not disqualified under current law. Adding an arbitrary, costly and bureaucratic licensing scheme on top of that would be wasteful and wrong.
Cox: Federal gun registration?
Gov. Romney: Like the majority of Americans, I do not believe that the United States needs more laws that restrict Second Amendment rights. I also recognize the extraordinary number of jobs and other economic benefits that are produced by hunting, recreational shooting, and the firearms and ammunition industry, not the least of which is to fund wildlife and habitat conservation. But I do not support adding more laws and regulations that would burden law-abiding citizens and would be ignored by criminals.
Cox: The United Nations has been conducting serious negotiations on a treaty that would likely impose significant regulation of private gun ownership in the United States. The Bush administration strongly opposed this effort as an infringement on American sovereignty. How would a Romney administration approach this issue?
Gov. Romney: I am troubled by this. In foreign policy, I am guided by one overwhelming conviction: This century must be an American Century. In an American Century, America has the strongest economy and the strongest military in the world. In an American Century, America leads the free world. God did not create this country to be a nation of followers. America must lead the world, or someone else will. Without American leadership, without the clarity of American purpose and resolve, the world becomes a far more dangerous place. Let me make this very clear. As president of the United States, I will devote myself to those ideas, and I will never, ever apologize for America. So by the same token, I will never support or enforce any treaty that attempts to restrict our fundamental rights, or tries to “harmonize” our constitutional rights with all of the less-free nations in the world.
Cox: Would you support legislation to provide national reciprocity for Right-to-Carry permit holders so that they can protect themselves when they’re traveling outside their home states?
Gov. Romney: Absolutely. Fundamental rights don’t disappear when we cross state borders, and self-defense is a fundamental right.
Cox: Would you support the reimposition of a federal ban on semi-automatic firearms incorrectly called “assault weapons?”
Gov. Romney: No. I do not support any additional laws to restrict the right to keep and bear arms.
Republican candidate for Vice President, Paul Ryan, an avid outdoorsman and a member of his local archery association, the Janesville Bowmen.
Cox: As governor, you signed a major bill reforming Massachusetts’ gun registration and licensing laws. Some in the media and elsewhere claim this bill was a reauthorization of the semi-auto ban in Massachusetts. What’s your response?
Gov. Romney: As governor of Massachusetts, I was proud to support legislation that expanded the rights of gun owners. I worked hard to advance the ability of law-abiding citizens to purchase and own firearms, while opposing liberal desires to create bureaucracy intended to burden gun owners and sportsmen. As governor, I also designated May 7 as “The Right to Bear Arms Day” in Massachusetts to honor law-abiding citizens and their right to “use firearms in defense of their families, persons and property for all lawful purposes, including common defense.”
The bill you mention was supported by your state NRA affiliate because it expanded the rights of Massachusetts gun owners. The NRA said at the time that it included “the greatest set of firearm law reforms since the passage of the Commonwealth’s worst-in-the-nation gun laws… a breath of fresh air for law-abiding gun owners.” While not perfect legislation, I agreed with that description of the bill, and that’s why I signed it into law.
Cox: America has a proud hunting tradition. One of the biggest problems facing hunters is finding land where they can hunt. The NRA has worked for a number of years to open as much federal land to hunting as possible. What would you do as president to address this issue?
Gov. Romney: I will work with the Congress to pass legislation to make clear that public lands should be open for hunting unless there’s a legitimate reason otherwise. I also plan to address the regulatory aspect of this issue by nominating people to key positions who support our proud hunting heritage, and understand that hunters are the original conservationists.
Cox: Over the past few years, drug cartel violence along the Southwest border has created significant problems for law enforcement, and has been used by anti-gun politicians in both the U.S. and Mexico as an excuse to call for more American gun laws. How would you deal with the violence in Mexico and its impact in the U.S.?
Gov. Romney: Our border with Mexico remains an ongoing problem, posing serious questions for America’s future. Will drug cartels dominate Mexico’s border region, with greater and greater violence spilling over into our country? And will drug smugglers and terrorists increasingly make their way to our side of the border? These are only some of the very real dangers that America faces, if we continue the policies of the past three years. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We are a democracy. We decide. Your members decide. America’s 100 million gun owners decide. I will offer a very different vision of America’s role in the world and of America’s destiny than what we’ve seen during the past three and a half years.
Cox: One part of the current administration’s policies to deal with Mexican crime was the “Fast & Furious” program. This has turned into a serious scandal. As president, how would you respond if this occurred during your administration? And how would you prevent this kind of disaster in the future?
Gov. Romney: I don’t want to wait until after the election. This problem needs to be addressed right now. I support the language in the current Justice Department appropriations bill to absolutely prohibit this kind of operation. And unlike Barack Obama, I would not support repealing that language in the future.
Cox: Attorney General Holder has steadfastly refused to cooperate with the congressional investigation into “Fast & Furious.” Do you believe Holder should resign or be fired due to his actions?
Gov. Romney: If there is the remotest possibility that our nation’s top prosecutors have suppressed evidence that they supported this outrageous operation, then someone has to be held accountable. And I believe that’s where this is headed, so yes, I believe it’s time for Eric Holder to go.
Cox: The NRA has always said that passing more gun control laws will not reduce violent crime. We think the solution to this issue is prosecuting criminals who illegally misuse firearms. But in the Obama administration, prosecutions of criminals who misuse firearms are at the lowest point in the last 10 years. What do you believe is the most effective method for reducing crime?
Gov. Romney: My position is simple: I will enforce the laws already on the books and punish, to the fullest extent of the law, criminals who misuse firearms to commit crimes. I will also provide law enforcement with the proper and effective resources they need to deter, apprehend and punish criminals.
Cox: One of the key areas where presidents can affect the Second Amendment rights of Americans is in the people they appoint to key positions. As president, will you appoint people who agree with your position that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental, individual right, particularly to the office of attorney general and other Cabinet level appointments, as well as positions that directly impact gun owners such as the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives?
Gov. Romney: That’s a basic starting point, yes. If elected president, yes, I will nominate people who agree that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental, individual right and are prepared to implement them throughout government, from the Cabinet level on down.
Cox: Aside from the specific issues, is there anything you’d like to tell our members about the stakes in this election for gun owners and hunters?
Gov. Romney: I do. I believe we are an exceptional country with a unique destiny and role in the world. We are exceptional because we are a nation founded on a precious idea that was born in the American Revolution. We are a people who threw off the yoke of tyranny and established a government of the people, by the people and for the people. We are a people who, in the language of our Declaration of Independence, hold certain truths to be self evident; namely, that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. That sets us apart from the rest of the world, and we don’t need to apologize for it. We should be proud of it. I hope to serve as your president to continue in that proud tradition. We need a president who will stand up for the rights of those who simply want to protect themselves, their families and their homes and who want to continue America’s rich hunting heritage. President Obama has not, but I will. The choice is clear. I hope your members will support me, and I respectfully ask for their votes on Election Day.
Cox: Governor Romney, thank you for your time and for your support of gun owners’ rights. Good luck in November. NRA ILA

Here is a firearm that when introduced to the battlefield, an outcry arose from the German high command. They claimed it was too dastardly for combat. This from the same country that chose to use lethal gas on its opponents and said, “It is especially forbidden to employ arms, projectiles, or materials calculated to cause unnecessary suffering.” While I disagree with the hypocrisy, I do agree that this gun will cause suffering. Say hello to the Winchester Model 1897 12-gauge shotgun, or simply the M97 Trench Gun.
M97 Trench gun with Bayonet
This should not come as a surprise, but this epic weapon came from the mind and hands of John Moses Browning. In the 1897 Winchester catalog, it originally sold for a stunning $25. While this may not sound like much, in 1897, that was equal to around $695 in 2012 currency. That was an expensive pump shotgun. Well worth every penny if you could afford it.
John Moses Browning
Here is where the real money comes in, the upgraded models with engraved receivers and fine checkered wood ran up to $100. That equals about $2,777 in 2012 dollars. This may seem expensive, but that is about the starting cost today of a fine trap, skeet, tournament, or field bird gun. These field guns were not the ones that saw action in subsequent wars.
The guns that took the field for larger targets in war were the ones referred to as Brush, Brush Takedown, Riot, and later Trench guns. These M97s were the guns of the mud. The guns the Central Powers feared so much that they would risk the hypocritical label. Bayonet lug and barrel heat shields added, it became a gun to reckon with, and the Central Powers had that reckoning.
The mule inside the M97 was ultimately nine 00 (double aught) buck shot pellets. When unleashed, the impact was devastating. Furthermore, the aim did not have to be as accurate as a standard rifle. It is a fallacy that shotguns do not need to careful aiming to be accurate. However, shotguns are far more forgiving in accuracy in high-stress close-quarters situations. If accurate and precise, then they are a frightening adversary. This is why they have not left the battlefield since their introduction. However, they are a close-in weapon as distance is obviously their downfall.
Motivated Marine and His Shotgun WWII
Used through both world wars and into Vietnam, the M97 Trench Guns would see their final production in 1953. The Winchester Model of 1912 would replace the M97. However, like good ballistics and physics, an object or idea set in motion is hard to stop. This was and still is true with the combat shotgun. As a close-contact tactical weapon, it has few rivals. Later versions of the pump shotgun, like the Ithaca M37, Remington 870, and Mossberg 500 would expand the military use into the law enforcement community and now into the home. The shotgun has become the preferred gun of choice for home defense and I concur since I keep both a Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 in my home.
AA-12 Automatic Shotgun
Once again, we see an idea launched by none other than John Moses Browning, which continues into the next century. The Winchester M97 Trench Gun, now a valued collector’s piece, was the basic concept for the likes of the AA-12 Automatic Street Sweeper. That concept, whether in the trench, the street, or protecting the home, he who brings the most the fastest, wins.

The Sun Optics tactical electronic dot sight accommodates for both low-light and bright-light shooting situations. It has green and red range finding IR reticles with eight brightness settings in a durable, affordable package that includes a mount and ring.
For both daytime and nighttime shooting, the Sun Optics tactical electronic dot sight fulfills both target and self-defense shooting situations. The rheostat has 12 adjustments. The green reticle has five different brightness levels and the red reticle has four. There are three clicks between the green and red reticles without any illumination.
The rheostat is stiff to adjust, which means the recoil of your gun will not affect the brightness settings, but turns steadily and easily.
Included is a 30mm, medium ring mount. After mounting on your gun, you can adjust for windage and elevation. The elevation adjustment knob is on the top of the dot sight, while the windage is on the right side. So you do not lose your turret caps, there is an attached turret strap connecting both the windage and elevation knobs.
Both lenses have flip-up lens caps to protect the multi-coated lenses.
In a completely dark room, with the door open to let in a hallway light, the lowest red setting allows enough light transmission to see my target. The second to lowest red works as well, but not as precisely. Green was too bright for the dark room.
In bright sunlight, out to 80 yards, the two red brightest settings spotted my target perfectly, while every green setting worked.
I was pleasantly surprised at the Sun Optics durable construction and electronics. My other cheap red dot-only sight costs just a few bucks less than the Sun Optics red/green dot sight and is so shoddy, the dot disappears. Recoil does not affect the Sun Optics sight and the brightness settings stay consistent. However, there is a noticeable glare and the clarity of the lens is not top-notch. There is a pinkish/purplish tint to the glass.
The ranging finding reticle is something to get used to as I typically use a single red dot. Some of the brightness settings are too intense for close quarters. Experimenting in a low-lit room with a lot of ambient light, the second to lowest red setting was perfect. Lining up the cross hairs on the range-finding IR reticle was quick and easy and made for accurate shots.
Included in the package are the sight, ring and mount, and instructions on sighting in, and an Allen key for mounting
Pros: recoilproof, maintains its brightness intensity, perfect amount of brightness levels, price
Cons: no anti-reflection coating, light transmission, reticle is a bit big
