That's a clean looking machine, is the barrel 11.5" or longer?. I was getting ready to send a barel off to JT before he got hurt for that same deal. Did he do yours?

Nice looking gat. Is the best way to go on a non-SBR a repro flash can pinned & welded, or a nearly 16" w/ a repro sleeve pinned & welded?

Looks good. What kind of finish are you planning on?

I got the barrel from a member here, it's a 12.5 barrel pinned by JT.

Either way would work but pinned /welded looks better IMO.

Aluma-hyde dark park grey to match the upper.

Nice. Originals are really overrated. We had them on some of our GAU-5/A/As in the Security Police. That got all crudded-up and plug-up with carbon. We would soak them in something (I can't remember what) to clean them out, but it filled up quickly, it seemed. Most we just put bird cages on them!

My understanding is that they weren't that much quieter either.

Yep, they were still louder than our 604s...

NDS-51 80% M16A1 lower.
NDS-45 2-position CAR buffer tube.
Unknown CAR buttstock.
Late sixty's Colt upper.
Colt BCG.
Colt six hole handguards.
Lower parts are a mix of Rock River and Colt.
The moderator and barrel I got from another member here. It's not marked but was told it has a 1/12 twist.
The moderator looks similar to the one on my other upper which was bought from AR15sport Here

Just wondering....Has the upper already been coated in the Aluma-Hyde? If so it looks nice.

That kind of looks like a 11.5" with a 5.5" mod.

The ar15 sports moderator is 4.8 inches long (1/2" longer than the real thing).

The upper is already done in dark park grey. It looks a little greenish probably because of the green mat and my camera is not so good(operator error)
