This is quickly becoming my favorite.
I zeroed the close range aperture at 100 yards, about where will the L aperture be zeroed? |

250 ish?
wasn't the original M16A1 aperture a 100/300 zero? I'm guessing that the shorter barrel won't get the bullet all the way to 300 |

That looks great! I've got plans for a near identical 11.5" build for use with an Allen Engineering suppressor.

Nice carbine and they feel even better with a fixed stock.

Thanks guys.
I'll get some more pictures this weekend. The only original "retro" part on this gun is the rear sight aperture, I managed to get reproduction parts for pretty much everything else. |

That's always a nice way to build them in that they cost less and you don't feel bad about beating them around and shooting them.
I think the only retro parts on mine at the upper, pistol grip and stock. Everything else was a repurposing of a modern carbine built in my youth. |

Very nice builds. I'm working on one myself and had a question. On the straight walled delta ring - does the notched side go towards the front (facing the FSB) or to the rear (facing the receiver)? Dumb question, but I've never installed one before.

The deeper end of the slip ring faces the receiver. The shallow end faces the muzzle.

Quoted:
I zeroed the close range aperture at 100 yards, about where will the L aperture be zeroed? Probably going to shoot quite a bit to the right depending on how the holes were drilled. That's why the military zeros with the "long range" aperture. The deflection is less at close range. This is the difference at 50 yards on one of my rifles. This is also why I only use A2 apertures on my "serious rifles".
