.... Sorta... Still need a few things to make it more correct (FCG, and HG polished up- specifically) but I think it turned out great. Thanks to the forum members on this amazing site for all your help.

Looks awesome. It'll be a while before I finish mine, but my Form 1 came back approved. I need to finish the lower receiver. Then get most of the stuff for the upper.

Looks great!
I would not polish the HGs. They look just as good as the rest of the furniture. |

That's awesome! I'd hit that 3 prong with some steel wool to take away the new look. Also the FSB.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's awesome! I'd hit that 3 prong with some steel wool to take away the new look. Also the FSB. The barrels a BCM pencil weight, reprofiled by Braceman. Braceman all did the barrel, FSP, lower engraving work. He's the cats pajamas. The lower was cerakote locally by a guy on the cheap. He tried to match the original upper as close as he could. Went a little crazy with the sand blaster, but it looks ok. For the cost, very happy. Edit: while I'm giving shout outs... Heatnbeat made the amazing HG retainer. Thing is VERY well made, fit like a glove. |

That's very nice, I like the hand guards as is.
 Really cool upper receiver. Is there wear inside the carry handle along the back? I have one with wear there, it almost looks like it was hung from a hook or something.

Zakk...I can't tell in your photos if it's engraved 607 or GX-5857. Which is it?........and brother, that is one cool looking carbine. The used/worn look is just "right" for a 50 yr old carbine. Congrats.

I love it! Especially that lower and the finish job. Who did the engraving? And is that an anodized finish you aged?

Wow! That looks Great Zak!!
 I love the worn look! The Cerakote looks good too, I agree with others though that a worn treatment to the 3 prong would be the icing on the cake. I like to rough the tip of them up with a tap or 10 on the concrete. maybe dull the buffer tube down to simulate some sliding action too... Last of all... Heat the barrel up with some sustained fir and add it as your new avatar  BTDT is my favorite look of all! Great Build! |

Thanks brother. I didn't chop mostly because I didn't care for the look. I may try it out down the road, but for right now I'm happy with the full.
