Thanks to Arfcom&#8217;s Raider14 the world now has a post-apocalyptic-themed AR rated to withstand up to 10 megatons of Road Warrior-grade ass kicking.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a rifle for purists. It&#8217;s a hot mess of junkyard parts and straight-up garbage cobbled into a real, working AR-15 rifle. Although it is worth noting that while it works, it works &#8220;mostly.&#8221; The handmade recoil assembly needs some tweaking, but if you can&#8217;t handle that before the apocalypse you&#8217;ll never make it through the real thing.<\/p>\n<p>Often when a project like this rolls around a lot of the parts are there for the aesthetics. This one stands out for being completely functional, with all the parts serving their purposes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74577\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74577\" title=\"Check out this Post-Apocalyptic AR Build!\" class=\"wp-image-74577 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170331-125251556-HDR-2-178108.jpg\" alt=\"Check out this Post-Apocalyptic AR Build!\" width=\"900\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170331-125251556-HDR-2-178108.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170331-125251556-HDR-2-178108-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170331-125251556-HDR-2-178108-400x238.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170331-125251556-HDR-2-178108-768x457.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-74577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The actual firearm started out as a flat kit and a length of pipe. <em>(Photo: Raider14)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_74560\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74560\" title=\"Check out this Post-Apocalyptic AR Build!\" class=\"wp-image-74560 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170401-115720298-2-178587.jpg\" alt=\"Check out this Post-Apocalyptic AR Build!\" width=\"900\" height=\"983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170401-115720298-2-178587.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170401-115720298-2-178587-137x150.jpg 137w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170401-115720298-2-178587-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/post-apocalyptic-ar-15-_-IMG-20170401-115720298-2-178587-768x839.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-74560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The stock &#8220;blank.&#8221;
