I'd build that if I could find a C7 upper. I found an A1, but so far no C7's. |

Does this thing belong here?
C7 upper, WW 11.5 Barrel, High Standard F1 Lower, No name CAR Stock, H2 buffer. Magpul MOE handguard with scout mount and TLR-1. Besides my Glock 19 this is the HD armory, just ordered a Redi Mag to have 60 rounds on tap. Now with Moar rounds on tap and a BAD Lever.

I guess my Israeli clone would fit in here too. The SUIT may look awkward, but it works pretty well. Cheek weld isn't an issue since you have that rubber eye cup hitting the same spot everytime. If I really needed it as a SHTF rifle I'd use a light in an Elzetta FSB mount.

Attached File or B? Attached File Need to find another A1 grip and maybe a gen 1 carbine stock. Attached File |

What about any A1 style detachable carry handles? I'd love for my KISS Middy to have a fixed rear sight and join this thread.
I've seen the typical A2 detachable carry handle but it doesn't have a clean look to it with those big knobs. |

Agreed. I've got an 11.5 I need to get off my ass and finish. This may be the motivation. |

Just recently found out these C7 type uppers exist and didn't hesitate! Gonna try her out this weekend.

Gonna try her out this weekend. You helped me wrap mine up. I forget what a LIGHT rifle feels like. Can't wait to shoot it. A mix of some old and new. Can is a Gemtech Trek.

New to the forum, I've been working on this rifle since summer 2015. Its finally done.
Upper: started as a Fulton Armory 16in slick side A1 carbine upper 1x8 twist chrome lined LW profile. I've added round hand guards, ( came with carbine triangle), and Just got it back from having moderator style flash hider pinned on. Lower is Stag i put together myself. Optic: Primary arms 2.5X ACSS Trigger: Giessele SSA Stock is Tonys Aluminum Car15, which I'm going to build up some JB weld on the inside so if fits my milspec buffer tube better. I've fired it when it still had the 16in barrel and no optic, can't wait to test the new setup and see if I need to drill my gas port or not. Also need to figure out what do do for a sling. Anyway just thought i'd share.

This is my interpretation using many A1 parts and what a "modern" A1 is. |
