I just found a dozen 11 inch barrels that have the legacy FSB position on them......I usually do a set screw attach on the FSB on pistol caliber.....original DI45 prototype was done that way and it hasn't lost zero over 27,000 rounds....

I almost went that way when I did mine, just for simplicity sake.

Sounds good.
I've been wanting to do one in 22 cal or 9mm maybe both. I just need to free up some funds. The first ar i ever saw up close was an xm177. Some guy out in the desert when we were rabbit hunting. He let me shoot it and i was hooked. I don't know why i haven't built one, but now you got me thinking again. |

You should be able to find an original Colt carry handle 9mm upper. I see them on EE from time to time.

I already have the lower and just ordered the 10.5" upper and handguards. I will probably build as a pistol first to function check and then file my paperwork to SBR. |

I am thinking of doing one. I have a dedicated lower and other parts laying around. It will end up being a 10.5" barrel. I like the look of them.

pics I found somewhere on the interweb(thanks to Al Gore)
I'm digging the retro builds: triangle hand guards, CAR buttstocks & may change all my rifles over to them(look for huge Magpul/BCM/DD sale...LOL I don't have stamped SMG lower though.I hate seeing those chopped lowers ,but looks like good resurrection job. I'm not that talented in the shop |

I got two sets of the handguards in the mail today, glad I didn't wait as JSE is all sold out.
They seems to be well made and will look good on the 10.5" upper. |

I did a sorta-retro build using an A1 upper that I had with a Green Mountain barrel. and an ArmaLite clamp-on FSB I did use a 3-lug adapter at the end of it since all of my PCC/subgun cans are 3-lugged.
