Just a normal middy Bushmaster. It came with Magpul MOE handguard and I used that diligently for 4 years. Now I thought it was time to "spice things up" and go retro, so I changed A2 handguard by IMI. I must say that for me the a2 handguard is a big improvement over the Magpul MOE handguard. The oval slim shape is much more natural for me to hold rather than the trianglular MOE.

I think you're onto something though |

I think you're onto something though Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking the same thing about the markings, it was more a test for myself if it can be done with nail polish. I'm also thinking of the M4-stock. I would also like to have a removable carry handle. Since getting a fixed carry handle upper is pretty challenging here, my only option is to buy and old Colt Sporter HBAR and get the upper from that one, but it is too much of a hassle. But overall happy with the looks, haven't had the time to shoot it yet, but judging by from quick impression the A2-forend is not bad at all, I can get my hand around it easy plus it is pretty lightweight. |
One of my all time favorite mids. 14.7 pin+weld, M4E1 upper+lower, Ballistic advantage pencil w/ FSB and rear flip-sight, Larue MBT2S trigger, B5 handguard, QD waffle stock, and magpul grip. (I added a Sig Romeo 5 later, but no pics of it setup that way handy). 5.6lbs as pictured, 6.0lbs with the Romeo on it. Light, short, nimble in the hands, and remarkably accurate. |

Is that a complete new upper? I'm used to seeing you rocking the DD RIS II. Looks good. |

BUMP!  Just finished this build. I like to think of it as the “AR15-A5.” Materials list: Aero slick upper. Larue LAT handguard. Magpul Mlok rail covers. Surefire M300 on SF mount. BFG sling. Criterion chrome-lined 16” pencil barrel with FSB pinned by RAW. A2 FH. Daniel Defense fixed rear sight. Microbest chrome BCG. Aimpoint Duty RDS on Scalarworks mount. JP Enterprises silent captured spring. Radian charging handle. KP15 lower with Larue MBT trigger. Might eventually add a magnifier. Weight without mag (but otherwise exactly as pictured) is 7 pounds even. For comparison, my Colt 6720 with factory furniture, but with the same sling, light, and optic is 6 pounds, 15 ounces. Basically the KP15+slick upper weight savings allowed me to trade up to a stout free-float HG for a 1oz weight penalty. And the Larue is not even the lightest available, but at the time it was by far the cheapest at $90. The weight would probably be in favor of this build over the 6720 if I used a standard spring&buffer, as the JPSCS adds a couple of ounces net. I’m very happy with it so far. Need to go shooting next week! |

I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314

 My same Colt model CR6960 factory midlength gas system carbine that I last posted on 6/8/2022 post # 37 last pg 85. Last June 2024 I installed a new Scakarworks Peak 02 folding rear sight (1.57 standard height), it have two apertures a large for short ranges and small aperture for long range. I also installed last Sept. 2022 a Geissele S3G Super 3 Gun trigger which I tested the pull weight to be around 3.5 lbs. Shown is my Aimpoint Duty micro RDS on Scalarworks micro QD mount.  Also new is Radian Raptor ambi charging handle (which replaced my older Geissele ambi CH). |

These two are mine. I have a third in progress. Just needs the gas block, sights, and assembly. It's going be somewhat of a budget version of the top one. First one is an Aero no-FA upper receiver with DD LW profile 16" barrel, BAD titanium gas block, Geissele 10.5" Mk16 rail, LMT iron sights, Geissele Government CH, FCD slickside BC, and LMT enhanced bolt for the upper assembly, LMT MARS-L lower receiver with LMT trigger guard, end plate, buffer, and extension, LWRCI Compact stock, Geissele SSA-E trigger, FCD ASF-50 ambi selector with Q levers, FCD bolt catch, Magpul MIAD grip, and FCD take down pins for the lower assembly. 6 1/4 lbs. with no mag, sling, light, or optic. 7 lbs. 13.6 oz. as pictured. Second one is a slickside upper (I forget who made it) with Faxon Gunner barrel, Sionics BCG, and basic furniture for a mid-length gun for the upper assembly, and an Anderson lower with Geissele G2S trigger, Gen 2 style buttstock, and A1 grip for the lower assembly. Under 6 lbs. empty but I forget the exact weight.

My trusty Armalite, put maybe 1800 rounds through it and it works pretty well. Gonna be swapping to a Noveske rifle length barrel eventually though, so I figured I might as well get it in here while it's still midlength. Absolutely love the Mark 6, the reticle is fantastic. BDC is pretty much dead on out to 600 yards, and the horseshoe is the same size as the outer ring of the targets I shoot at 100 yards so it makes it really easy to get good groupings.   |

Attached File The FN-15 with the KAC handguard is a 14.7" "rebuild" that ended up inspiring me to buy some FN receivers to use on the Larue handguard and a Centurion 14.5" barrel. Both are PW. |
