"Amat Victoria Curam"- victory loves preparation

I got a few. Here are some of them:
My oldest is based off a pre-production Vltor VIS midlength rail I convinced Vltor to sell me on the last day of Shot Show in 2005 or 2006. I was super cool for about a month.
I was in a bit of an OD phase when I built my next one around a Larue Gooseneck rail:
Built this one as a passive aggressive bitch slap to 'Spike' of Spike's Tactical, who used to frequent my Florida 2-gun club, and for whom I didn't care for very much. He used to swear you couldn't get a 7.5" gun to run without a pigtail gas tube. I also had his 'Chewbacca' logo lasered off the bolt carrier.
It's been well over 10 years and I should probably let it go, but I still think that guy's a dick.
A BCM Kino I built when I moved to Colorado:
Another BCM Kino that I swapped the receiver for an A2 upper on:
And since that left me with an extra A3 upper, I built it into a 9mm:
I had this .22lr upper since I had my first SBR, but I finally got around to SBR'ing a dedicated lower for it about two years ago:
I also always liked the MRP, so I threw one of those together as well:
My latest is an AAC .300 upper, currently time-sharing one of my SBR'd LMT lowers while waiting on a tax stamp for it's own LMT Defender lower.
I have some other SBRs and SBS's, but they aren't really AR based. I tried to find some group shots, but I have surprisingly few. One of the older ones from a batch cleaning after an AR shoot some years ago:

I've got 20 years into it. Kids have cut the growth rate way, way back. You'll catch up!
Bad sentence construction. Ray pretty much nailed it. I hate Mike, the guy who constantly talked smack about what wouldn't work and then ended up selling it a week later with his logo lasered all over it. But I have no animosity towards the parts themselves. And 2004 was a long time ago for both of us, so I should probably let go of the grudge. I'm sure he has.
@Southpaw - You make up for it with quality! Also, GK 'inspires' a lot in people. He inspired me to try and pull into his driveway, which is why the corner of his 'utility shed' has a dent.
