Quote HistoryWell, technically you're both right. The A1/C7 upper was only used on M16A2 weapons - both the M16A1E1 (transitional A2) and the M16A2 carbine, both barrel lengths. |

By the way I really want to build exactly that A1 now. Thanks for spending my money! I hate to be that guy, but you were right the first time. Both the Upper and Lower on that SBR are A2 spec. The Upper is a 723/C7 style, also known as A2 w/field sights, the lower is later A2. Still a cool piece. |

Does this count as KISS? Waiting on a Carry Handle to replace the KAC and this rifle is done.

I feel you, this guy is probably my favorite and if I ever my stamps get back, it'll be turning into a 10.5'' with a Rugged Surge. 
I'm kinda tempted to make it a 762x39 10.5'' though

The light mount is the one that comes with the ProTac Rail Mount 1 kit from Streamlight. It is an amazing light for 100 bucks. it will work with 123's or AA's. It comes with tapeswitch, mount, and button tailcap. Then I have the light attached to the FSB using a Midwest Industries mount I got on amazon for 30 bucks. Light: http://www.streamlight.com/en/products/detail/index/protac-rail-mount-1 Mount for FSB https://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Industries-Tactical-Light-Standard/dp/B002E6PAHG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487346502&sr=8-1&keywords=midwest industries front sight mount&tag=vglnk-c102-20 |

I'll play;
Was looking for an "IDF" style thumper, and traded into this: 
It shoots incredibly well as is, but I wanted to tweek it a bit. [Absolutely NOTHING wrong with the original config. by the way....  ]
So I swapped the upper for an A3 flatty, and added an ACOG, RX01NSN. A3 flattop. 11.5" E.R. Shaw barrel with fixed 5.5 Flash supressor. Rguns lower, with 2 position stock, aluminum. Tango Down grip. LaRue A1.5 fixed rear sight. Trijicon RX01NSN ACOG. Proctor sling. 
Super light, super fast, excellent balance! ETA*** Just picked up a US mil. removable carry handle, so that I can have the option of going flat-top, or A2. |

Hey guys, I have a spare A1 upper and 16" Colt Socom barrel laying around that I am heavily considering turning into a KISS/IDF carbine.
My question is did you guys have to cut M4 feed ramps in to your upper receivers or is that not an issue? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By NickOTime:
I love the pencil barrels and the 14.5, but if I don't use my 16" Socom profile I'll have another upper in a couple months. Plus I think the suppressor will be better suited on a non pencil profile barrel. But who knows, there is just something that feels "right" with a pencil carbine barrel in an A1 upper.

Seems to me with all the interest in retros, someone could produce a high volume of moderately priced A1/SPI uppers and make a huge profit, like an Anderson or some producer like that. $150 for Brownells, Nodaks etc.are just too expensive. An A2, which has more parts can be had for less than $90 in a lot of places.
