Quote HistoryThanks! I'll probably pick one of those up soon to round out the build. Picked up a repro CAR lock ring from another member. Other than the Lower not receiver being properly marked, this should finish out my build as far as "correctness" goes. Anyone know what rollmarks were on the actual rifles these guys used? Aimpoint 5000 should be in Friday.

This is as close as I could get to a Gothic Serpent carbine with what I could find.... Almost got an Aimpoint 3000 on eBay, but I was too slow I still love how this came together. |

I saved a copy of this image awhile back and looked it over again last night. Guess what? I spotted something that might be interesting. Save the image for yourself, then zoom in on the exposed barrel end where the M203 mounts. It appears somebody did some Murphyneering using some rectangular hunks of aluminum by basically making a bar clamp for the front end mount. There is no section of pipe behind the flash suppressor to provide back pressure to keep the M203 from moving forward during firing, hence that bar clamp must be torquing things down with lots of pressure. |

There has been lots of discussion on carry handle mounts for the Aimpoints
Well i just picked up this Smith Enterprise mount. I have no idea if this was an option back in the '90s but It does use Weaver slots and not Picatinny slots.

@survivor45 where did you find that mount. I looked on their website and did a Google search but couldn't find that style. This was one of those parts I thought I'd easily come across at a local gun show or gun shop. For cheap. But no. I've been looking for one for almost a year. Sure I could go to fleabay or the EE. But I was sure I'd find one for less than $20.00. Still had to drive 20 miles to go pick it up. And I was not even sure who the manufacturer was. So. I'd say you'll just have to keep your eye out. Good luck. |
