Just ordered my Bravo Company 20" upper! Unfortunately, I am going to have to castrate my bayonet lug and permanently attach a compensator (the PWS FSC556 is excellent, so I am not too upset about this part) before it can sit on top of my Bushmaster lower.

All the furniture is bring back from my buddy who served in Ramadi.
1. upper is a cerro forge. I missed the oportunity on GB to get an FN A4 upper. 2. lower is Sabre Defense (I credit you Plinkr for helping me with that!) 3. Barrel is an 03 dated FNMI. That is why I'm looking for a TA31F ACOG. Early issue 4. Sight/Handle is Cardinal Forge 5. LPK is FN minus the FA group Thanks to all who answered my questions knowingly and unknowingly.

I can't really say I like the A4. There are lighter, better, cheaper, free float rail systems. There are better barrel configurations, etc. However I just feel wrong when I don't have an A4. |

It is heavy but the balance is great and the abilty to hit targets with ease out to 400 yards (as far as I have run my a4) is really great. I deeply enjoy this rifle set up. |

Yea, going back to the RAS.
Even though the DD M4 RIS II freefloats the barrel, weights less, and still retains the ability to take a M203, it just didn't feel right to me. 
Still gotta pull the Colt CS stock off and put an A2 on. Gonna set the CS stock aside for a different project. Going to put a different barrel on the upper with the black RIS II, and sell the BCM A4 barrel on it. That way I'll have a nifty carbine and a proper A4 upper. |

I gotta say, I'm with you 100% on this one... I still can't figure out what the A4 does particularly well that another configuration doesn't do better, but dammit, I gotta have one! 
Actually, there is one thing so far it's excelled at, M261 host with subsonics and suppressor, I think I've heard airsoft guns that were louder! ~Augee |

I can't make up my mind about my RAS (seen on page 3). Sometimes I put it on when a go to the range or definitely out to the desert to shoot. Mainly for the bipod. Then, when I get home I put the plastic handguards back on. Rails are useful, but the plastics looks and feels better... to me.

Bump to keep the pics coming guys
I'm hoping to get home in the next month to put my A4 clone together. Has anyone used the Sabre A4 barrel? That's what I picked up a year or two ago for my build. I came across a post about a canted FSB, and was wondering if this was a trend. I have a factory A2 stocked LMT lower and am going to use an LMT flat top upper and carry handle I have, along with their FA BCG. I just got the KAC M5 RAS from CDNN today. Can't wait to put it together! |
