Here is my latest retro build. This one was a result of having a C7 upper receiver laying around and an eBay score of three maple leaf Thermold mags. The barrel is Windham Weaponry (non F marked FSB), and the buttstock is an A1 with an A2 buttplate (maybe I'll run across a CS stock some day). Colt A2 pistol grip (these feel so much nicer than the commercial ones that come with LPK's), and a set of GI handguards from Numrich. I think the selector with the square tick mark is supposed to be correct for these. Sprayed the receivers and charging handle with Norrel's Grayish Black-Flat (teabag gray). Sling is old USGI with the gray parkerized keepers, not really sure what a proper C7 is supposed to have. I haven't shot it yet but it function checks just fine.

Nice looking build.

I think there was a C7 clone thread in the A2 forum you should cross post there.

I would like to see the roll marks on this one. The color of your rifle is really nice.

I saw a couple a few years ago on a trip to Quebec. They are neat. Here's a pic I stole from the interwebs.
