I was looking through the boneyard for some stuff I could sell when I thought I may be able to build an old school AR. I have an old A1 upper and an Essential Arms lower or a PWA lower to build off of.
Do you think there is any merit? How would you configure it?  BTW, that's an Al. buttstock  Bomber |

Pencil barrel (16"), carbine length handguards. K.I.S.S. It'd make a nice truck gun.

For what type/ style of build? Bushie makes a nice LW barrel which is on my above carbine. What parts are you looking for?

That's exactly what I'm trying to find out. SBR is no problemo for me so I was thinking something short. My problem is I'm no where near "schooled" enough regarding all of the different model numbers. Any reference materials/links? I'm very grateful for all of the help thus far and hope I can continue to get advise and have a sounding board for this project. Bomber |
