When people think of an A1 they think of a fixed carry handle. That is the defining feature of an A1. This isn't a clone specific thread where every small detail is scrutinized but you'll notice that every other rifle posted in here has a fixed. At first glance I would classify your rifle as more A4 than anything. Your post doesn't bother me but I'm just letting you know where most others are probably coming from. This isn't a clone thread so it's open to different interpretations. Many of the guns I've seen I wouldn't consider "modern" in any way. Like the gun Lancelot's posted 3 times in this thread. Not bothered either just giving my opinion in a tech/picture thread that didn't spell out any real rules. And bumping the thread 'cause I like it. Is this one any better? It has a carry handle.

Would this count? No carry handle, but the LaRue rear is A1 style, it's got an A1 length CavArms stock, pencil .625 18" barrel, and is long and lightweight. So the sight picture, fixed stock length, and barrel profile are all correct.... |

Wanted a fun light weight carbine. Picked up the 15.5 brownells barrel assembly on sale and an inexpensive C7 upper. A little under 7lbs and shoots very soft. Reliable even with PMC .223 blaster ammo. A little retro. A little modern.
