If anybody is looking for an optic for their A4 clone checkout Optics agent. That's where I got mine and it was the cheapest that I can find.

I will also get the LED internals for my own Surefires; no doubt it'll make them so much better. I have a question about your barrel: it appears to be glossy. Is that so? It does remind me of futon's armory barrels. I asked them about the gloss, they told me it was oiled and flash photography but I didn't quite believe them (Fulton) That so for yours? |

My barrel is nitrided. I know its not 100% correct but close. I didn't realize it when I ordered it. Fortunately it's a shooter and close enough for the build for me. If I ever wear it out I'll consoder replacing it with the proper parkerized, but it's fine as is.

My contribution. Colt a4 and a 5 ton (to the dude with a M35a3). Aimpoint PRO and a Matech back up, with the old noisy sling. Because I'm old like that.
Thinking I may go Canadian with it. I've got a N1 stock doing nothing. Also got a M145 that's waitI g for its host to be finished and the Aimpoint goes on my tactical mackerel. I.E. I can't afford an ACOG or M5 ras yet. Must get gun ring for the truck and MG yet. Damn priorities.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Sputnik556:
I use the CMMG kit in my XM16E1 clone, 1/12 twist also, and agree. I think it’s more fun than 5.56 sometimes. The other club that is 5 minutes from my house has 17 shooting bays, ranging from 15 yards deep to 80 yards deep. Most of them range in the 20 to 40 yard width. That's where I shoot USPSA and steel challenge. So it's kind of fun to set up some walls and targets and play around in there. The downside to that range is no centerfire rifles. You can have PCC caliber rifles but that's it. So it's kind of nice to be able to go in there and do a 22 conversion kit in my ARs. The third range I belong to is about 35-40 minutes away and you can shoot everything there. Which is why I belong there I can go up there and set up some walls set up some targets and do CQB type stuff with my SBRs. I am actually going to use the conversion kit in my M16 A1 clone at the next steel match just for shits and giggles. |

This is as close as I'm going to get because I hate quad rails. It's a PSA premium #8818 with an FN roll marked barrel.
 Decided to replace the reciever with a plainer PSA with no laser etching. 
Bought the PSA nitride kit so I could put the carry handle on something. |

Been a couple years since I posted on here. Sadly sold my two clones I built, but...... I am at it again! This time I TWO FN A2 barrels I snagged off the EE. Here is where I am at so far! Trying to finish the lower (Just got the A2 parts today). I am on the hunt for a beat to shit KAC M5 Ras if possible also. Cheaper the better, ha. I am going to use a Matech rear flip sight also. Until then, I am keeping the carry handle and A2 handgaurds on the gun.
Then...... I will hunt down another ACOG. The second A2 barrel that was a 2005 in wrap barrel I am going to use on a A2 build. Got the handguards, just need to find a good upper. Current Parts Manf. Upper- Colt No M4 Ramps Barrel- FN A2 Barrel Lower- PSA, on the lookout to replace with a Colt AR15A4 BCG/CH- On the hunt for COLT BCG and CH.  Attached File |

Got to shoot my Colt a4 today. All I can say is, damn. I'd forgotten why I was in love with my service rifle. Such a sweet shooting weapon. I'll have to get the full kit at some point now. TA31, M5 ras, don't know about the sling as I'm partial to my noisy.
Reckon I'll put the M145 Elcan on my Mg42 when it's done. Then I'll need an acog, despite that I've never been overly fond of them. |
