George Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ya' want a custom jobbie, IMHO, only JP, Triangle (Benny Hill), or MSTN are worth it for full on gun racing. Lookin' at a stocker? Look hard at DPMS, or Cavalry Arms. Just make sure ya' get yerself' a flat top one. The carry handle and fixed front sight are pretty passe'. Can't go wrong with any of the above choices, or a few others for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 This type of iron sight setup rocks the house: Also allows fast conversion to optics, or other iron sight types, or both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Bond Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 +1 FOR "SAW CUSTOM" LEON DENINA It is really great having a custom AR that will run as accurately as anyone's custom rifle at a price no more than that of someone else's "stock" AR. John Paul makes a work of art and Benny Hill is a great gunsmith but no one delivers more gun for the dollar than SAW. Charles Bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sono Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 SAW custom is unreal for the money, and Henry is a good guy to deal with. I shot only HM but he built me a rifle and next year will be a 223 limited year. Call him and you'll get the must bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot only HM but he built me a rifle and next year will be a 223 limited year. Call him and you'll get the must bang for the buck. Is SAW Custom the same guy that used to be at all the gunshows with rows of M1As, M1s and ARs? That guy had some nice rifles at that time. I was just wondering if this would be the same guy and how to get in touch with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry usually only does gun shows in Georgia and he has not had rows of anything since the squeeze on parts. His phone numer is 478-986-4156.

Charles Bond Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Congradulations to Henry Avant and SAW Custom for building the rifle that finished 2nd in to tactical iron division at the 2007 Rocky Mountain 3 Gun. Of course the rifle had a good driver too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Are you are talking about Robbie Johnson who was second OVERALL in Tactical division, and FIRST Iron sight shooter? Third place overall and SECOND place iron sight shooter, used a one of a kind custom J.P. long sight radius ( very cool A-2 front sight that can't snag like the globe sight on a rail ) rifle, shooting 55 gr bullets.

kurtm Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Looked to me Like a shameless pug for J.P. willing to buil one of a kind rifles for people! Robbie KICKED my a@# and that is no lie; he was first Iron sight shooter, and I guess you would have to know the scores to know who the number 2 iron sight shooter was, and I KNOW he wasn't shooting a SAW custom. and as Benny Hill ( the worlds greatest gunsmith on anything worth shooting and who builds the best 6" 5" and ARs in the land...another shameless plug??) it ain't bragging if you can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Metal Only Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 At the risk of being repetitive, I would concur with most of the recommendations. JP (sponsor plug), MTSN, Accuracy Speaks (amigo plug) and Benny Hill (amigo plug) are really the top of the heap for racy 3 gun oriented ARs. They all sponsor 3 gun matches and they've all been around a while. Sabre Defense, DPMS (amigo plug), POF (amigo plug) and DSA (sponsor plug) all make good products and all generously sponsor 3 gun. I think Smith and Wesson has started to as well but I have little direct experience with their AR to actually recommend them. Jerry seems to shoot one (albiet highly modified) pretty well. This list is certainly not all inclusive but whatever you do, don't give $$ to those companies/gunsmiths who do nothing for our sport. Second to all the above. The big thing is stick to the companies that support our sport. Rich Thanks everbody I have a place to start now. See a lot of Bushmaster stuff out there. Do they not support? Yes, if fact they do. I think you should try the He-man division, this would give you a reason to get an Armilite .308 AR-10. Im supprised no one mentioned Armilite and yes they support 3-gun. 1 draw back is EVERYTHING is way more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
