Anyone know where I can find one of these? How long do the back orders take anyway?
Also, does this gun in the link have roughly the same style handguards and stock as earlier retro CAR models? ( I know they aren't genuine) It looks similar but a bit different, probably because of the bad image. Thanks Link |

Check out Gunbroker, they always have a few, I bought one off of GB myself. Here's an example
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=269759291 The new 6520s come with an M4 stock and M4 handguards, not the older type. I did substitute a CAR stock and handguard on mine.

Thanks! Nice looking rifle by the way ( same with all your others  ). I want my next one to look like that . If I can't find any like the ones on impactguns, looks like I'm better off just buying the stock and handguards separately. Would buying the "skinny m4" handguards from brownells work, or does this not look like a car handguard? It doesn't have pictures so I really don't know lol.

Those at Brownell's are the "fat" M4 handguards. I bought my CAR handguards from Cavalry Arms
http://www.cavalrymanufacturing.com/furniture.html The fiberlite CAR buttstock I ordered from M&A Parts. http://mapartsinc.com/productsDetail.asp?id=1072 You can buy an official Colt set from Specialized Armament warehouse but it's about a total of $125 more for the two..and they look exactly the same as the ones I used. I also had ADCO cut my barrel to 14.7" and permanently attach the A2 FH |

Looks like a blast 
Edit: Will I have to install the tube if I want to put the car stock on? Or will the stock just fit any mil spec spec tube? No, it'll fit right on the Colt milspec tube. I haven't found any place that sells just the fiberlite stock alone so you have to get the whole kit. |
