Like this? Just got done with it today actually. I wanted a budget gun, and either an A1 or A2 upper which ever I found first for cheap. Ended up with the A1. All in all about $500. Quality barrel and internals too.

Call me nuts, but I've seen a good bit of fellow shooters move from red dots and 1-4x scopes back to good ole irons. Not necessarily on their primary gun, but their others. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I really want a pencil barreled carbine with A1 stock, but with a flat top instead of carry handle. I still want a fixed rear sight, but I like the option of running an optic because they work better for me in low light. I'm more accurate with irons but faster with a dot.

I've recently been considering a modernized A1 build for my next AR. Mostly because I need a 2nd AR to keep in the safe that I can finish with a reasonable budget and will help keep me from investing too much in it by having an A1 upper. Here is what I was thinking:
Nodak Spud slickside A1 upper and non fenced lower 16" LW or 14.5 LW 1:7 midlength barrel from a reputable maker, ideally BCM MOE Midlength Handguards Old School CAR stock and A1 grip Magpul Bad Lever, ASAP Plate, MS2 Sling, RSA or the new MOE mount IWC SWC mount for a Surefire 6P I have laying around. After seeing this thread I'm really liking this build for a fun and unique backup carbine. |

You do have to be careful with the stripped ones produced right as the company was closing it's doors. Some need to be filed a bit to get fire control parts and PMAG's to fit. |

That would make sense why I can't find them. I'll just get a stripped lower and build it with an A1 stock |

I know Aimless posted in a thread a few days ago that the AR15 store still has them. |
