Well here she is. I’ve always wanted one, and over the past year have gathered parts.
Parts list: Upper: Colt upper w/ streaked purple patina, Rapidex rear w/ an a2 peep sight Colt BCG and CH Colt Barrel and shiny 6 hole hand guards and Colt FH Lower All Colt, sans the trigger and forgive the CQD, the upper shares a lower with my mk18

Cool!
Any particular reason you didn't just buy a 733 upper?

Quote HistoryQuoted: How often do Colt 733 uppers show up for sale and for what price? I was able to piece mine together cheaper than the few I've seen for sale recently. Meanwhile, Saw LE sales has NOS barrels ($800, but still) and you can find decent uppers in the $250 or less range if you search. |

Awesome build. My Mom still has an ‘83 Chevy van that has almost the exact same seats and interior. I had to do a double take and make sure I was seeing that correctly. I put a crate 350 in it back around ‘99. Still going today but doesn’t get driven much.

Very nice 733, OP!
My lower is also currently sporting a CQD just like your's (for another day or two).. Just found a 2 position RE w/lock ring from a guy who's posted in here  I think it'll be getting installed so I can finally be done DONE with project 733.
I'll ad an 'after' pic once the 2-pos tube is on for some inspiration
ETA- now with correct 2-position receiver extension, end plate and lock ring!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great looking rifle! I’ve contemplated throwing are large head FA w/ relief cut on my 733 and also with the wait times for form 1s being so quick, I’m thinking of making the 733 it’s own standalone rifle. I kinda regret selling off my 2 position tube. |

Love it! Building a 733 pistol myself. Almost all the parts together. I'm planning on using a Fostech Echo II trigger just for shits and grins.
