It has taken me months of haunting the EE to get all Colt parts but I finally finished my carbine. Barrel off a 6721, Colt A2 upper receiver. Colt LE Carbine lower. All the various parts from different folks. Thanks to all I bought from here for the smooth transactions. The added bonus of building it all myself, all good. Total cost=$753.85

The point of my exercise was to build a carbine for less than $800 from parts and assemble each part to learn how the rifle functions. Spent many days at the range firing friends and coworkers weapons so I tried everything from HBAR's to M4 profile to pencil barreled carbines. 10 inch to 16 inch barrels. Fat hand guards, rails, skinnies, A1's, A2's flattops with optics and BUIS. I have Colt A2 rifle and like the quality so I decided to attempt to build a Coltenstein for my $800 budget.

Some of the parts were barely used, most were take offs from folks changing out parts off brand new rifles. I didn't jump at the first part I saw, but waited until they fit in my budget. I waited 5 months for a lower at the right price. My only concession to aftermarket parts are a Magpul trigger guard(came on the lower, and I removed a Bill Springfield trigger group and replaced it with a Colt group) and a BCM charging handle.

I was lucky getting the upper(Colt Mueller Brass) that had a 4 stamped on it and M4 cuts from the factory so the 6721 barrel works great. I chose the HBAR profile for that smidge of better accuracy. I had the upper on a Double Star lower and fired a couple thousand trouble free rounds of LC M855 the last 5 months until the Colt lower appeared last week.

So now I need to figure out what to build with the Double Star lower... which by the way, is not quite in spec. It has issues with certain mags dropping free but other than that, was fine.

Cavalry Arms BUIS
Cavalry Arms fixed stock (BUIS and stock bought during CavAid)
Magpul MIAD grip
Eltezza light mount

Hi, this is My first build, and if it's anything like My cars, I'm apparently not even close to done.

Anywho, this is what is is, so far:

Stag Milspec lower
Hogue grip
CMMG A3 upper w/ Target Sports quad rail
Magpul Maglevel PMAG30
Magpul AFG2 angled foregrip
Minimag LED flashlight
NcStar MkIII 4x32 scope(crap)
Generic rail guard
Magpul ASAP(not yet installed).

Here's a quick shot I took a few minutes ago...:

Not new to AR's but this was my first build:

Rainier Arms Forged Upper & Lower
Rainier Arms Select 14.5" Stainless Barrel 1x8 twist
Rainier Arms XTC Compensator permanently attached
Rainier Arms RA15-X11 Free Float Rail
Rainier Arms Stainless Gas Block
Young Manufacturing Chrome BCG
BCM Charging Handle
Magpul MOE stock w/PSA Stock Kit
PSA LPK
Magpul AFG2 foregrip
Magpul front sight and GI rear sight
Eotech 551

Build was pretty easy considering it was my first. I built myself a small make shift table. My garage and budget had no room for a real work bench so with a Craftsman vise and $17 in wood and bolts from Lowe's I built myself a pretty solid work area. I used brass and steel punches and got myself a ProMag vise block. Could have probably done without some of the above but it made things easy and now that I have built one I see it becoming a definite hobby so I'll find a use for them.
