So I got a bug to build a 723 clone. However, I've seen so many variations that I'm confused as to what is the most correct version. I'm planning on using a A1 upper with a brass deflector and a large round FA,
6 hole colt hand guards, 2 pos. N1 fiberlite stock, Delta ring, and a 14.5 pencil barrel. I also have the NDS 80% lower that I plan on sending out for engraving, then do the mill work myself and finally get upper and lower coated. I'd sure appreciate any comments about my choice of parts.
Questions are:
See any problems in this approach?
I've been able to find 2 engravers - Orion and Ident Markings. Anyone have experience with either?
Will they copy the original manufacture markings, like the one below that was online, or are there trademark problems with the Colt logo?
I've seen some models with the selector position markings on both sides and some with just the selector side. Was this just early and late models?
Figured I'd check with the experts here to make sure I got it right. Thanks
