Cool article, thanks for the post.
Interesting that it looks like it has an aluminum CAR stock that's anodized gray. |

That barrel is good without a post. Perfect example of retro PDW for up close work |

There were at least three styles of front sights. One had a post, one was the aperture (non-adjustable), and as I recall there was another that actually had a thin front sight base out in front of the handguard.
This is how I did my aperture (pic below), but I found I had to open it a little more to get the best sight picture. If the target is beyond 25 yards or so, I can't hit it!

In my design book I have drawn a rectangular aluminum bar with ears on top, that hold an A1 sight post assy.
Its meant to be welded on the front flat area. Standardizes things a bit. |

I'm glad to see this thread. The article isn't coming up, but the pics of the front sight setup are very helpful.
I have something similar under construction. It's not really a clone because I'm making a few changes for functionality. But it's still going to be retro and look the part fairly well. I'll see about putting up some pics when I get a little further with it. |
