Limitedslip7 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Picked this up about a week ago as a graduation/first job present to myself. I've been wanting to start building a collection for quite some time now but just couldn't afford it while going to school. Anyways, it's a Yankee Hill Machine Co 5.56 AR. I had originally planned on just getting a bare bones DPMS and building it up, but Vance's had a decent price on this one and it already had almost everything I wanted. I've shot about 600 rounds through it so far without any problems. Can't wait till spring so I can kill something other than paper! http://yankeehillmachine.com/store/product437.html http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m187/limitedslip7/IMG_1154.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I saw a guy in Vance's not to long ago that looked to be about 17 or 18 with what appeared to be his grandmother purchasing what looked to be very similar to what you have here, I thought to myself great here comes another High School shooting. Hope this wasn't you, nice pick up, my M4 use to look very similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limitedslip7 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Shit, I'm old to be graduating from college when I did... let alone high school. I think I paid $1180 for it? I hadn't heard of YHM before I saw it in Vance's ad but the reviews on AR15.com were all positive. The fit and finish on everything is top notch, and yes the barrel is fluted.

John Bruh Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 congrats on the gun. Did it have the light and optic already on it. I'm waiting for my next gun to arive from dpms (thier building me a mini SASS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Nice AR. That looks like a pretty tactikewl AR right there, with everything I'd expect to see over on mall-ninja ar15.com (no offense). $1180 isn't too bad of a price either. What kinda of groups are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limitedslip7 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Nice AR. That looks like a pretty tactikewl AR right there, with everything I'd expect to see over on mall-ninja ar15.com (no offense). $1180 isn't too bad of a price either. What kinda of groups are you getting? None taken, I've always been a bit of a ricer. I was getting about a 3" grouping at max range at BW (~75'?) just standing there. Shot about 1.5" with iron sights resting my elbow at the same distance. Hopefully I'll be able to improve upon that with more experience. As for the hunting it'll probably just be rodents, computers, and the occasional home invader. On a side note, I got to see some guy glock the shit out of his thumbs at BW; he was leaking all over. Pretty sure he was a first time shooter... he was there with his mom using her gun. Edited March 1, 2010 by LimitedSlip7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Welcome to the AR world, keep it clean, keep it oiled. YHM produces some decent equpiement, tactikool or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I've shot it and I'll confirm that the YHM there is pretty rad and tacticool. The EOTech kicks ass. I'll use my recent first gun purchase to hijack the thread: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l275/furloaf/1911/SA1911L-2.jpg?t=1267749507 http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l275/furloaf/1911/SA1911L-1.jpg?t=1267749508 Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded SS Here's an experiment I did with painting the white dot sights with super glow in the dark powder. Only took about $12 and I figured it was worth trying over spending like ~$100 for tritiums. The pictures don't really do justice as the cheapass camera had trouble in such low light: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l275/furloaf/1911/100_0891.jpg?t=1267749580 http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l275/furloaf/1911/100_0894.jpg?t=1267749581 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limitedslip7 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Lol, the Dick Light is awsome. I ordered 400 rounds to shoot this weekend... Brown Bear commie shit but its half the price of XM193. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furloaf Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 $900 out the door. So about $845 without tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
