Does this thing belong here?
C7 upper, WW 11.5 Barrel, High Standard F1 Lower, No name CAR Stock, H2 buffer. Magpul MOE handguard with scout mount and TLR-1. Besides my Glock 19 this is the HD armory, just ordered a Redi Mag to have 60 rounds on tap. Now with Moar rounds on tap and a BAD Lever.

I guess my Israeli clone would fit in here too. The SUIT may look awkward, but it works pretty well. Cheek weld isn't an issue since you have that rubber eye cup hitting the same spot everytime. If I really needed it as a SHTF rifle I'd use a light in an Elzetta FSB mount.

Nodak Spud and Brownells both carry a1 uppers.
The Brownells upper is made by Nodak fyi, and i believe both places currently have them in-stock. |

What about any A1 style detachable carry handles? I'd love for my KISS Middy to have a fixed rear sight and join this thread.
I've seen the typical A2 detachable carry handle but it doesn't have a clean look to it with those big knobs. |

It's made by cncguns.com
I want to know if it's still available, but I haven't contacted them. I recall that it's in the white, missing a1 sight assembly, and about $100, so that makes it less tempting. Their site looks old and not updated....ever. |

New to the forum, I've been working on this rifle since summer 2015. Its finally done.
Upper: started as a Fulton Armory 16in slick side A1 carbine upper 1x8 twist chrome lined LW profile. I've added round hand guards, ( came with carbine triangle), and Just got it back from having moderator style flash hider pinned on. Lower is Stag i put together myself. Optic: Primary arms 2.5X ACSS Trigger: Giessele SSA Stock is Tonys Aluminum Car15, which I'm going to build up some JB weld on the inside so if fits my milspec buffer tube better. I've fired it when it still had the 16in barrel and no optic, can't wait to test the new setup and see if I need to drill my gas port or not. Also need to figure out what do do for a sling. Anyway just thought i'd share.

Not modern, but my NDS-601 receiver that I ordered back in August came in. I put the SP1 parts minus receiver that I bought on the EE about ten years ago on it.
Makes a good companion for my semi M16A1 clone.

Not trying to stir the pot, but I believe an upper with an A1 carry handle/sights is the criteria most people are looking for in this thread. I'd argue that the upper receiver is the most defining piece on these builds. The OP doesn't specify any criteria other than "non-military clone A1." This is my interpretation using many A1 parts and what a "modern" A1 is. |
