Here’s my version of an A2 build. Not clone correct in any way but I like the 20” look.
Unknown upper (can’t even find a forge mark) 20” BA barrel Colt M4 lower with A1 stock kit (perfect length for me) BCM BCG Raptor CH Various other different parts on/in the lower  Attached FileI’m currently working on a clone-correct A4 build. |

Here's how it was when I first got it together, after getting some of the worst rust off of the upper. Rear sight couldn't flip apertures or change the windage adjustment due to rust when I got it.
 That's a K31 sling which has seen better days. Currently it's resting on a fixed trigger guard lower (Which was originally a pistol's, I sold my other lower to a friend in need earlier this year and plan on getting an 80% done for this). I got a worn A2 stock and buffer assembly with the upper, has a 5.2 oz buffer which is neat. Stock has those cool worn rack markings and a plastic buttplate with metal trapdoor. I've been using an A1 length stock and A3 grip recently though.  A bit more recently by this neat unrefurbished Finnish captured M38 I have. Sanded the finger groove off the A2 grip I have, don't worry it's one of the newer ones. |

 Started out as an A2 clone in 6.8 SPC in 2007. Now the 6.8 barrel assembly is installed on an A3 receiver while the A2 has a 5.56 barrel assembly from Windham Weaponry. |

 Here's mine. It has a CAPCO upper with a 09/99 dated barrel and a Toolcraft 1B1B6 bolt carrier group. The lower is a plain PSA unit with a PSA LPK and a WOA charging handle and buttstock assembly. The fog came from an old Daniel Defense LPK because the trigger felt more A2ish, amd the BHO was from a DPMS because it looked more mil spec than the weird PSA BHO. The pistol grip is F2 marked and is a take-off from my M&P 15-22. The sling is an M4 silent sling. Not a perfect clone, but it is perhaps my most accurate rifle, and it really feels like the A2s I used in the military. I even like the 2 tone look. |

Fulton A2 Upper
Daniel Defense 12.5" barrel- contoured for use with the AEM5 / Ops Inc MD Aero M4 Carbine lower This is my first job rattle canning a gun. My son assisted with spraying the browns through the laundry bag. His little hands didn't have the strength to control the nozzle very well, but he did a great job! It shoots very well.

The boy was proud of his painting job. I live where greens are a necessity for any camo job, so it's a mix of light green, dark forest green, Tan, and "earth brown". It has an ambi PRI gas buster CH and Knights ambi mag release also... I'm a lefty. I love FCD ambi mag releases and bolt catches, but I wanted something different for this. Yep, I used RIBZ with a 50 yard zero. After years of shooting A2-type irons, I've never seen a need to zero it any other way honestly. But that is just me. I actually faced the receiver using the brownells tool before assembly, but I had some good windage to adjust still during zero. There is still plenty of adjustment left, though. The barrel is fairly overgassed. I was running an H2 buffer with a standard carbine spring and its ejection was consistently 2:00 without any dings to the brass deflector. I just threw a sprinco blue spring to see what that does. As soon as the AEM5 comes in, it will go on this little guy. I have an ARMs carry handle 1913 rail en route. I'll probably toss a Primary Arms MD25 or something on the top. It's lightweight / handy, shoots very well, and is simple. But it is loud as heck on a covered range with the brake. Haha. I zeroed it in 6 rounds. Fired 2, did some math, fired 2 more, adjusted one more time and I was dead on. When I get the chance, I'll do a lot more shooting with it. The trigger is PNT type Schmidt from Brownells that has a very nice feel to it. And from there, the IWC mount and G2X light is perfect. Oh, and ADCO did the contour and custom collar for the AEM5. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By togadelic: man that is exactly what I am into right there how much math did you have to math out for the shorter barrel? did it apply out to the other ranges? I love me some ribz Just basic stuff. Using targets with 1” squares made it easy to use a spotting scope and make changes without going down range. The front sight adjustments were about .75” or so per click at 50. Probably a bit more. And windage was easy. I’m not going to stretch it out just yet. Once I get an optic on it, I’m going to hopefully run it out to 200 and and see what happens. |

That being said that is retro cool. Yea, but its better than the 6lb PVS2 from the VN era :) Even though the native mount on it was for a carry handle M16 I imagine it was better suited or a tripod mounted 249 or M60. Its not comfortable to shoot at all standing with an A2, an A1 stock would help. Being a Gen II it actually works well and could be a decent hunting optic mounted on a rail, too bad they are kind of expensive. Not to mention who knows how long the 40 year old image intensifier tube will last, they are only good for 2000 hours or so. |

Yes it is big and heavy but is fun to shoot. We trained with them at Camp Pendleton Infantry Training School in 1987. We zeroed them and shot them at night at a range. It was very fun seeing the shots hit under NV. We were on an open range with multiple range targets from 50 -800M with Ivans, Trucks.....But also glad I didn't have to carry it much. |

733-ish pistol:
 Brownells "blem" black A1 lower (the blem is the right side selector markings), RRA LPK, SB15 brace (I've had this so long, it was the only brace on the market at the time  ), KAK tube and spacers, MOE-K2 grip. DPMS C7 upper/teardrop FA/front & rear sights, Brownells BCG, VLTOR charging handle, Doublestar 11.5" 1:9 barrel & FH, gun-show 7-hole handguards. I have another lower, identical except for Brownells 2-position buffer tube and M&A CAR stock, that will someday be SBR'd for this upper. Right now it's got my Wolf A1 upper on it until I can build something out for that. |

Alright, how’d I do. FN M16A2 clone
Surplus upper from the EE, repaired all the pitting and sprayed with Norells. NOS FN barrel PSA lower, sprayed to match the upper, refinished a couple mags as well. I’ll probably swap out the stock for a genuine FN one from shark, Handguards were NOS, as well as the bayonet and sling. Still needs a BCG I have a few blemishes in the finish from installing the barrel, undecided on if I’ll leave them or touch it up with an airbrush at a later date. If the day ever comes where I start doing 80% receivers, I’ll swap out the lower for one with FN markings. |
