I may have a line on a stripped A2 upper and I'm pondering my options for a clone project.  Problem is, I don't like the A2 stock LOP, government profile or M4 profile barrels and I can't think of anything out there that doesn't have at least one of those features.  Is there any clonable option out there that would fit these criteria?  Thanks in advance.

Very nice.  Looks like a 723 with an A2 sight.  The 723 is one if my favorite Colt rifles.

Blood Diamond build may be an option.

H&R is coming out with a CAR style brace soon, if you don't have an SBR.
They're also coming out with that muzzle device as a separate item.

I swear, the transitional models between the A1 and A2 are some of my favorites.

Edit: Just switched out a CS stock on a customer's gun recently.  Asked if he was interested in selling the CS stock but he said it was already spoken for

He said he'd keep me in mind if anything changes so maybe...one day...

This will pretty much be my next A2 build, just waiting on handguards and a 3 prong flash hider..

nice! I've switched out the A2 grip with my A1 Lone star and it just added that extra touch :)

I have a mil-spec Brownells CAR stock I was going to use, but it fits way to loosely. Would love to get an original or proper size clone of an N2.

Stick a 1/2" wide strip of sticky sided, fuzzy velcro on the inside diameter of the stock and it will snug it right up.
