It all started with the 6920, now I'm hooked on cloning. So far my clone army consists of an M4 Carbine, M16A2, M16A4, half-assed M16A1 (thanks Brownell's...), and I'm working on a Service Rifle from Fallout: New Vegas.

I'm thinking of going a different route with the 6920 stock. It's between a LMT SOPMOD and a standard CAR stock, what do you guys think?

Anyways, here's some pictures:

- Colt AR15A4 & LE6920



- Windham Bushmaster XM15-E2S (was a ban-era neutered turd but Windham Weaponry fixed that)




- Brownell's M16A1 blem/mess



- Beginnings of my Service Rifle :)

Very nice rifles there.  Cloning can be very addictive.  I built a colt 733 clone and a 723 as well.  Just finished my Idf clone and M16A1 clone this year. Still want a few more.

As mentioned above, wait until you stumble into the SOPMOD and MK12 threads.

Nice clones brother

What a very strange marking on that in-the-white lower receiver.   "Long Branch Arsenal Ontario USA Territory".

The only Long Branch Arsenal of which I am aware was a part of Canadian Arsenals Limited, in the former hamlet of Long Branch (now part of Mississauga, Ontario), just outside of Toronto.  They made all the No1 Mk 3 Lee-Enfields for WWI there, as well as No 4 (Lee Enfields) and STEN sub-machine guns for WWII, and FN SLR (C1/C2) rifles for the post-war Canadian Army.  They also converted all the Browning 1919A4 machine guns in Canadian service to 7.62 x 51 mm NATO when that calibre was adopted.  (This is bringing back memories of my days as a young soldier in the early 1970s!) Nothing left there now but the stop-butts on the test range, an old inspection building and the water tower (built in 1910).  

In any event as an expatriate Canadian, I feel obliged to point out that it is not now, nor was it ever, located in a "USA Territory".  Sacrilege to even suggest such a thing.

It's an homage to a rifle from the Fallout series of post-apocalyptic videogames!

Who did the engraving? It looks nice!

These are the exact markings on the rifle in Fallout which I am replicating. In the game the US annexes Canada.

I don't play games, so never heard of it.  In any event, you now know how unlikely the resurrection of Long Branch Arsenal is - there's nothing left there.


As far as the US annexing Canada:  No offence, but that is all it would take to make me go home to Canada and join the resistance.

No offense, but what would the U.S. do with Canada?? Oil??  No. It would be far cheaper to drill in our own oil fields than to fund an invasion/occupation.  

Remember this, without "US," there would be no you (Canada) since you guys would be either a German or a Russian territory if "US" wasn't directly to the south of you.  

On a serious note and no joking, as long as "WE," The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand stand together, no nation or alliance can defeat us and threaten our way of life.  Yes, we have some minor issues with each other, but we have no better friends than our Canadian brothers to the north!!

Pffff walk your ass on over to the night vision forum where the big boys hang out. That peq is just part of the setups we use/need to run.

You could buy a nice used car with this and that's before adding LAM's and illuminators to your gun

Good looking clones, I want to build an M16A4 clone one day.

+1 on the Mk18 and Mk12 clones being expensive.  I did a Mk18 clone and it cost a lot of money, and a lot of timr sourcing parts.  I started a Mk12 build, but have a bad feeling it will take forever.

I can't believe someone else actually debated this same scenario.

My solution was:

M4 w/ CAR stock, RAS & Aimpoint M2
M4 w/ waffle, RAS & ACOG
M4A1 w/ SOPMOD, RAS & (planned Aimpoint M4)

I also did a Colt ambi selector on the M4A1.

My M4/M4A1 situation demanded (3) clones.

I briefly entertained the idea of an early M4 using a '4' marked A2 upper but decided against it since those weren't adopted in any significant quantities. I only clone stuff that's issued en masse. If I didn't limit myself I'd go insane/bankrupt and be divorced & homeless.

Very true, and for that reason I only have one M4 clone. I'm leaning the direction of just buying both stocks and switching them out depending on how I feel that day.

My plans may change on having only one clone, I really want one of those 6920's with 14.5 PW SOCOM barrels on it....

There are various threads for the Mk18, Mk12, M4/M4A1/SOCOM, M16A2, M16A4, and retro clones. Different eras, different threads.
