My impression of @GulDuCal 's pictures on pages 2 & 4 of this very thread...  
...and yes, this A4 clone (like GulDuCal's) is also built off/around an original Bushmaster (Windham, Me.) XM15 rifle, and is resting on a similar (though slightly later edition?) cloth survival map & an original Israeli shemagh/keffiyeh of the same manufacture as that of GulDuCal's. 
So why'd I do it?... I don't know. I was going through some of my old stuff today, and realized that I actually had some of the same type of bring backs as GulDuCal and a similar Bushmaster-type clone & so I thought...what the heck,... maybe somebody will get a kick out of it... & yes - I'm still working on the sling & pouch posts on the previous page. I'm trying to make sure to do my best to include the proper photo credits wherever possible, as well as to ensure that I've not somehow mixed up any of the data or credits, and that it is all written up both as accurately & as organized as I can make it. Doing that while dealing with an unexpected long-term health issue though is slowing down the process considerably... FlDiveCop71 |

After several failed attempts at getting one of these the last year or so I finally got one. Shoots like a dream and I can finally post in here! After all, it's ya'lls fault...
BCG is not C marked but is properly staked. 
Bolt is marked MPC. 
Barrel is properly stamped. 
F marked front sight. 
Upper and carry handle are Brass Aluminum forge marked (square) with a C stamped onto the upper. 
Trap door. 
Took the M5 off my DPMS/BCM A2 Magpul thing, swapped with the Colt. 
Both ways. 
Works!

I just upgraded one of my M16A4 builds with one of the BCP lowers I helped bring to fruition. I bought the blem M16A4 marked lower that was turned in to BCP. It was worth it since I saved a few bucks on it. Picked it up this afternoon from my FFL and went to work swapping everything from the McKay Ent. lower over to the BCP lower.

As for the rest, I sold all my clones that had lowers marked and will be repurchasing clone correct parts. Love yours! |

| I wish I could have gotten in on an m16a4 marked lower with the group buy. My cheap Palmetto lower will make due for time being though. I should be joining this thread by end of next week hopefully. Just waiting on my barrel to ship. been eyeballing these rifles for quite awhile now. |

| Being issued an m4, m4a1, m16a4, m249,m240,mk14, and a mk11. I can honestly say my favorite was a m16a4 with the ta31rco. Smooth shooting and surprisingly accurate. If I could just an acog civilian side I would definitely put one on mine. Instead she's getting a 2.5-10. I'll throw some pics up of my old bitch Shaniqua as soon as I figure out how. |

The first M16A4 I ever fired I named Joanna, in honor of the ho I had lost my virginity to...
My favorite M16A4 I was ever issued though ...I named Natalya, ...after this jet-black-haired porcelain-skinned stripper I once knew in Alaska. Suffice it to say: She was hot!!!
Eta: Sadly, I haven't assigned any names to any of my clones yet though... They don't even have

ALL of my rifles have names. Just to name some of them, there's Isabelle, Emily, Christine and Lauren. The name Isabelle actually has meaning to that rifle. It's my Israeli IDF rifle, so I call it "Izzy" for short with a proper name of "Isabelle". |

| It's in the wrong thread but the new Shaniqua is an A4. I took all of its weaknesses and made it a bit more appeasing though. Larue 20" stealth barrel, larue 13.2 free float rail, ergo grip, and a magpul rifle stock. Just a couple of accuracy, and ergonomic upgrades. Hence why she won't be posted. |

| I'm not sure of the cloneliness, but Primary Arms has really good prices on Magpul slings right now. You had to put 1 in a cart to find out what it was and the one I looked at was like half priced. 24.99 for a magpul sling. You would think some GI's would've used a magpul sling, but maybe not....... CD could say. |
