Anyone have any sources (I know....normally ya keep sources secret) for retro aiming devices? It would be great if there was somewhere that serviceable gear could be had but Im not above dummy units. I saw some 3D print stuff for some but I don't know enough about that world. I don't know who to trust or if the prices I see are for the files or a finished clone. I don't have a printer and am leery about file sharing if I got a printer.

Nailed it!!

My take on the Gordon carbine is pretty much finished. Not sure what to do about a light but for now its done.
Painted it similar to the Heroes Under Fire painting as I read it was fairly well researched. M4 suppressor, aimpoint 5000, and a NoDak lower finished it out. On to the next one!

Going to try to get the Aimpoint super low though. ETA: I see you did also. |

Buddy gifted me a stripped Colt XM4 upper a few years ago (kingly gift), well worn, with bluish grey anno. Last year I found a complete Colt AR15A2 Carbine lower with government markings that was a DOE trade-in from a Nevada unit. The anodizing and wear matched that upper perfectly. It had a rack number stamped into the trigger guard. Since I've found a flat firing pin Colt BCG, an early Colt 14.5" M4 profile barrel that I unplugged from a surplus Diemaco upper, and an A2 rear sight kit from Amherst Depot, a 5 dollar! Aimpoint 1000, and a flea market early 6P. This one really turned out great. My dad even found a 90's Eagle Industries soft case for me for Christmas.
The only thing that isn't the real deal is the handguard and I will swap that out as soon as I can find one. I'll probably paint the fake handguard and a B5 N1 tan so this rifle can wear Hoot pants when it wants to. https://i.imgur.com/NUPJZqp.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/PAiLahF.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/NUPJZqp.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/nO9QXca.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/xHSl0YG.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/tAvgiDY.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/9yG9Ltz.jpeg |

Looks like it. Wish I could go back in time and get more of them. I called the dealer for some reason and they were super accommodating. I should see if I can find who it was and see what else they have.

 Attached FileI pulled this aimpoint of my mk 18 mod 0 playing around with the parts for my Gordon and kinda considering using the arms mount instead of the Leopold rifleman rings. I plan to use a aimpoint pro on it leaning more towards the movie gun but would remove the riser, any constructive thoughts? Also what’s everyone found to be the best option for a barrel? I was thinking of grabbing a current production stripped colt m4 gov profile barrel and tracking down a non F marked fsb and sending it to John Thomas to have him pin it but not sure if I’m over thinking it or this would be a bad way to go. Best place to source a .750 non f marked fsb? |
