Pissed about pics??? You silly dog,,you've been here long enough to know we "live" for pics....Only thing that pisses me off is the lack of your build specs/parts used for this beauty.

Sorry m1sniper. My CRS doesnt allow me to remember most of it. Nodak upper that i removed flashing, removed windage arrow, reprofiled area below port door to match lower, and drilled hole for port-door spring. Nodak lower, HeatnBeat port door, windage drum, safety selector, bolt release. Nodak charge handle. Nodak waffle mag. I used Norrells moly-resin on all parts, including upper and lower. 1-12 pencil barrel (forget where i got it). Original 601 carrier and "P" bolt. Bolt was missing extractor, so Young Manufacturing sent me one. I did the faux finish on the furniture, still need to work on the buttstock though. John Thomas flash hider. I forget where the grenade spring came from. I made the grips on the bayonet out of some Dutch m4 grips. Still need a rear take-down pin and a "no drain hole buttstock screw. And, the ft sight was a run of the mill that i kinda-re-profiled as best possible. Really appreciate the comps guys.

Seriously, your green rifle is looking excellent. |

So you're saying, basically, that pretty much everything here except the BCG and grenade spring is repro stuff?? Ol' son, that's a damn nice job! With everyone talking about the high price of original parts, this just proves there are alternatives. Well done! |

Yes Ol'Gunner, Mostly repro-parts. Thank goodness for peeps like Jerrell S and J.T. No way would i be able to do this hobby if i had to throw good money at original parts. Thanks again guys for the kind comps.

Nice looking build, but why is there a gap between the pistol grip and the lower?

Melvin, I really dont know. I just ran upstairs to look at my other AR,s and Two of the Six that i own have the same gap. It never really bothered me enough to look into what causes it. Maybe just the grip? Ive got probably a dozen other grips, maybe this weekend i,ll experiment to get to the bottom of this phenomenon. Anybody else know exactly what causes this?

Had me fooled on the bayo except I didn't see any stampings on it. Could have been the pics but they sure look better than my $200 2 megpixel Nikon from 12 yrs ago. It still works but I caught three Owls in the backyard the other night and can't do much with them even using photo editor. Shoot me your address and I'll send you a no drain screw! Might not ship until later next week. Gonna keep my dimple take down pins for now.
Never had the gap on a pg guess I lucked and I have some real suspect lowers. Oh yours looks a lot better than mine. A-2 lower and 604 upper. Not as nice a paint job either. I may have more original parts but who would even know besides you and those you told. |

+1 although I am pretty envious of RRIggs collection of retros and a hot girlfriend as well ! Some folks have all the luck.
