Yeah same here. I like the idea of an old trijicon on it. I see beat up ones all the time I’m sure I can find one for a good price. Any idea on barrel length? P&W 14.5 with extended A2? I kinda like the thought of putting a short barrel on it but I just don’t know. That’s why I wanted to see some pics. You think it’s GWOT enough to be in this thread?

You totally should, though I’m a little biased.

Might have a Redi-Mag for you too, want to try it out on a faux dissy first though. I’ll post that up for post 2006, seems appropriate.

The same man just offered to send me a redi mag for the build with the Bushnell. This dudes robbing me of all my money. Upper and rail should be getting here soon, don’t know when I’ll get the Bushnell and Redi Mag, just gotta send him the funds. This build is slowly coming together but it’s put all my other builds on the back burner

I have A LOT of projects going on at the moment, and not near enough cash flow.

I already have another 16” 5.56 A2 upper, so depending on y’all’s input will determine whether this handguard and upper will get a x39 barrel, or I’ll transplant the barrel from my other A2 and put a x39 barrel on there.

Thanks man! She’s already wearing a 16” M4 profile barrel with FSB, I have a Bushnell HWS, a Redi Mag and an LMT charging handle from the same guy coming in soon. Now I just need a good stock for it and I’ll get her all up running.

Surefire M900A, shave the nub off the A2 grip, and high-temp RTV mod the charging handle. I’m a fan of the classic red RTV.

Sorry for the kind of crappy lighting. I didn't realize how dim they were when I took them.

Just got this PRI rail. The STR stock is temporary for now, I think I'm eventually going to go with a CTR or Sopmod. I'm not going full clone but I am thinking about picking up a PSA M4 marked lower for it.

This guys finally wearing an A2 stock. I think its ready for paint now. Just have to decide if I'm going to use some green or all desert colors.
