Not sure about the 2 pos stock. I do see 4 pos sometimes. I think brownells had genuine colt 4 pos......
A lot of us have used ADCO Firearms for barrel work. They do good work. https://adcofirearms.com/ Sounds like an exciting build! |

Nodak Spud from the receiver extension. Windham Weaponry for the 14.5" barrel.

I have bought several from them over the years. Here is a link to the Windham Weaponry 14.5" barrel with a pinned and welded extended A2 FH. |

If you have your barrle cut down. You can use a standard A2 FH. Not the extended.
It's just more pleasing to the eye in my opinion. But yes it may tack on another $100ish bucks to your build. |

If they can cut and thread a barrel I'm sure they can turn down the end to the proper diameter. Barrel would need to be refinished though so the costs do add up quickly.

The bayonet will not be properly secured if you do that, as the mount ring will drop down to the barrel.
Yes, I have a couple of bayonets (An M7 and a OKC-3S). An extended A2 is the better option of the two, but I put my 727 clone upper on a factory Colt 6933, so I don't worry about pinning, welding or any of that mess. |

Ive been real happy with a factory colt m4 barrel and an extended A2 flash hider.
Looks very close, just pin+weld. |

I just finished up a 727 build, all I have left to do is take the old MD off and put the extended A2 on it and pin it, then mine will be done.
