I have a project I've been acquiring parts for.
Basically, it's inspired by the mutts the Air Force put together, sort of a 601 rebrand as an XM-177.
Edit:
I don't need a FSB, I need a decent parkerized barrel with a FSB already installed.The rest of this is moot.
With the cost of the labor to blast, parkerize, fit and install the FSB THEN pin and weld, it would be simpler to just find a 12.5" barrel with parkerized finish and have the 177 FH pinned and welded.
I originally sourced a very used Colt M-16 FSB and this project began, but after getting almost everything else, it's too worn to "fit". To make it work, I'd have to destroy/weather, mess up everything else, or....repark? (has anyone done a small item like this without a huge investment?).
If not, I'd like a decent take off.
I looked at AR15sport, theirs appear to be un-drilled, prefer something that would snap on to cut cost of the barrel work.
I've emailed a well-known individual here for some barrel work, setting everything together made me realize this FSB isn't going to work.
Any suggestions appreciated.Oh, and "50 Shades of Grey, Part 2".
