Is anyone running an KZ -Aimpoint T-1 combo on their A1's carry handle? Since I haven't been able to find a Primary Arms red dot,I'm seriously thinking of just "biting the bullet" and trying to find a T-1,instead.
My Colt is an old friend,having purchased it new in 1982,so it deserves the best,right? |

Barrel length? Also, is that a middy gas system? |

Thanks. I hate "A2 sights" on a combat/SHTF weapon. Love "A1 sights". Don't know why Justin's A1 carry handles never really caught on. It's a nice piece of kit to have available. This was another one my lightweight/kiss modern-ish A1 builds.

So, when was the last time you were ambushed by a group of insurgents?

Need some input here guys.
I currently have this: 
DSC_1120_lzn-1 by The Dorsal Fin, on Flickr I also have a stripped A3 upper, 16" LW mid length barrel, barrel parts, etc... en route to me right now. Do I.... turn my little RO723 clone into an M4gery (also have a RAS en route) and put the C7 upper on the mid length barrel I have coming. OR Do I leave my RO723 un-molested and just build out the mid length upper as my flatop? suggestions? |

Bloodsport2885: Because if your riflemen can't reach it, your marksman can. If your marksman can't reach it, your sniper can. If your sniper can't reach it, your arty/air can. If they can't reach it then fuck that target. He isn't even worried about you.

Very nice. 
I have a similar build planned but I'm thinking about rattle canning it FDE. Where did you get the A1 upper? I've been shopping around but can't find much besides DPMS. |

It's a bushmaster upper I took off my Bushy RO723 clone. It was a listed part # for a while, but no longer on the site. I'd check the EE / GB / Etc... for them |

For a full length rifle it's handy. I want to do a chop job on stock and make it shorter. |
