This was a blemished lower receiver from The Arms Room out of Orlando Florida. I love their lowers because they are plain, no animals arachnids or big company logos...
 I used a flat file to remove the lower portion of the mag fence, and my handy dremel to re-profile the rear. You can also see the JB weld over the RH fire safe marksl

The upper I bought off of Gunbroker. I was pretty excited to find one with the front small hole. It was spray painted black but I stripped all of that off!
 It looks pretty crusty but really not that bad off....

This was my first time using Norells Moly Resin. THIS STUFF IS GREAT!!!! I used Gray Flat for that early retro look. You guys weren't kidding, it really has a lot of blue to it....
[img style='font-size: 8pt;']  [/img] I love the Norells! I'm hooked!!! Oh, and the JB in the fire/safe marks held up just fine to 350 degrees! |

Go to your photobucket page, on the right side of the screen will be several boxes with a bunch of http: crap, the lower box is labelled IMG, left click inside the IMG box, a message will flash "COPIED", come to this page right click then paste. |

I shaved the bayonet lug (Dremel) and used some old blueing to touch it up...   The fake supressor screws onto the end of the barrel, and sinks back to cover the barrel itself. I found this on E-Bay. The top sling kit and silent sling are USGI surplus.  |

Oh yeah, and the handguards are repros from AR15sport. Not quite a historically accurate rifle, but I still have a smile on my face:)

Yeah, I tried that on the last pic. In my post box it shows as a picture, but when I hit submit it comes out as a link!

Great job! It looks a lot like my decacated .22. It is my twist on what an A2 version of a 607 would be. I designed a one off 607/M4 adjustable stock for it.
Keep up the good retro inspired work.

Charles, that's a damned impressive build. You did some really good work there--especially since you were working with hand tools!
I'm glad you posted the photos! |

Sure! I looked at my E-Bay history, and the guy I bought it from is not currently selling any. But I searched "Fake Can" and came up with several in different sizes/calibers.
This one looks like mine: I'm really happy with it, just slips over the barrel and screws on at the end. I ended up using a thinner washer behind the can, using a standard crush washer or lock washer made the can stick out too far, exposed the threads in front of the barrel. I used a copper crush washer from a brake line banjo bolt. I had to hog out the inside of the washer just a little bit (dremel to the rescue again!).

@ 5427,
That rifle looks awesome! How did you make the buttstock? Looks as though it is fully adjustable?

It is adjustable. Braceman turned my prototype into a working model. It works great. Here is the link to the archived build thread on it.

Nice job dude! You must have the patience of God, I tried one a while back and couldn't keep my frustration in check. |
