I edited and reposted in the other non-stickied KISS picture thread. I never saw that, and didn't want to post in the A2 retro pic thread.

I would swear it looks shorter than my XM177 style upper that has a permanently welded 5.5" slat moderator that is 16.25" OAL, but I guess photographs can be deceiving. |

If you are talking about the complete stock assembly (with buffer tube), then $50 (matte plastic) and $100 (glossy aluminum). Plastic CAR stocks are still pretty easy to find on the web with a few keystrokes and mouseclicks, but aluminum ones are getting much harder to find than they were ten years ago, and price is going up. |

I don't know how that is possible, but I'm telling you, it's very easy to change the trigger gaurd. You're hard part is finding a small enough allen wrench to take the magpul one off. Once you remove the allen screw and punch out the roll pin, the standard goes back in easily. Install the roll pin end first. |

From what I've read when people have posted about having done it, it's because they didn't support the trigger guard ears and snap them off when they try to hammer the pins out. I'm avoiding the whole thing by using the lower with the Magpul guard as a home for my DD 12.5" flat top w/rail upper since there's nothing retro about it anyway, and using the pictured Colt 6400 lower as a permanent home for this 733 inspired upper. The Colt is more fitting anyway.

I"ve been collecting parts for this for a few years now, it started with an upper receiver AFSOC_COP sold me on the EE. I really like the upper receiver but wasn't sure what to do with it. My original plan was to make a partial fence 80% lower for it, have it anodized to the same color and build it into a 604 replica. I'm not really into carbines but when I saw the Air Force carbine page on retroblackrifle.com I thought I would try to replicate one. I was going to proceed with the 80% and anodizing and manually re-stamp the lower with "GUU" (I'm still not too clear on what it should be stamped) but when I found this lower receiver at a local show I just used it instead. The lower receiver has an interesting story, it is the 1st lower a local firearms manufacturer put together in their college dorm room. The barrel was something I "bought it now" on GB right at the outset of the latest panic so I didn't do too bad on it. It looks like the seller makes their money by putting the FSB on himself and there is this annoying "Duty Rifle" laser etched on the barrel that was not in the listing.
 I was going to hide the logo by touching the hot barrel to a black plastic bag and burying it under a blob of plastic goo. (Has anyone done this before?) All the other parts came off the EE, and I bought the 1957 marked strap for the sling at a show for $1. Sadly this is my most expensive build and I don't have a gas tube yet and had to borrow the flash hider for the picture.
I'm not sure if the sling matches the rest of the parts and my original plan was to put a really worn birdcage flash hider on it, what do you think? I''ve been using pictures like these for ideas. ETA: Hand guards came from Kaiserman, thanks!

Actually it's an A2, I couldn't bring myself to cut down an A1, even though I had more than one. I took an A2 and sanded of the wedge and the vertical grooves in the back, finally cut off a good portion off of it. I then finished it by removing the grid area off the edge. I put it on every now and then but prefer the regular length of the A1. |
