I'm building a 723 clone A2 carbine and I'm still looking for either USGI or very similar in appearance peel washers... Any ideals who might have them in stock?
I have a Brownells 14.7" M4 profile barrel that I had a local and a better known AR-Smith "pin and weld" on a standard A2 flash suppressor with their A2 "peel" washer. Their "peel" washer wasn't a real USGI type or even close since its obviously way too thick. So basically, I lost $75 and the cost of an A2 F/S... Not counting that this pinned on F/S will need to be cut and removed once I find the right type of peel washers... They even installed the A2 peep sight backwards... Another story.
Anyway, being a retired Army Combat Arms E-7, those "little things" stick out with me since my eyes will automatically "zero in" on that overly thick washer they used.
Thanks for looking AND for any leads!!
