Great job Strela. That's a nice one. I don't think anybody ever uses the rubber cover for their AP though.

There's nothing saying you can't do it, but your mount is backwards in comparison to how it's usually mounted.

To be fair, that big ass knob is annoying as fuck on the left hand side. Fucker hangs up on EVERYTHING |

So I have something like this in mind.
What block would this fall under? It doesn't have an optic, but does have an updated crane SOPmod stock. Also I'm actually doing this on a budget with older parts so I'm pretty excited. I feel bad I don't have the exact RAS but nobody will know once the rail covers are on.
I may buy a Primary Arms 30mm and throw it in a spare QRP2 Mount from my Aimpoint Pro Will post real pics once things are shipped/put together. Love the way your clones look and the effort put into them |

I'm missing a few things like:
KAC Rail (Using UTG Pro, got it for $40) KAC Handguards (Using Promag Covers, $15) KAC VFG (Using Daniel Defense VFG) Also it's a 16" Barrel I hope not having KAC isn't blasphemy
I was definitely inspired by the carbines in this thread. I love the Block 1/1.5 Look. My goal was to build this one on a budget. 
I really like the way the waffle stocks look, but it seems like the carbine balances better with a SOPMOD, since the quad rail/FSB is a bit front heavy. |

Long time lurker, here is my submission.
Colt 6920 SOCOM with a 14.5" Colt SOCOM barrel and pinned A2X TA01NSN M952V DBAL I2 soon to be replaced with an ATPIAL 
Shameless plug but I just listed my other M4A1 marked lower in the EE if anyone is looking for one. Also, what are clone correct MRDS and mounts for the TA01NSN? Please don't just say "Docter" or "JPoint" as I find that a lot but no mention of generation, dot size, color, etc. |

I have just a bit over $1000 in the whole rifle He had a whole pile of them for $50 and the BUIS were $30 both were a little banged up, but couldn't ask for a better price. He wanted $500 for the ACOG but my buddy pulled out $400 and got it for me. I actually think people tho it was fake or stolen for the price. It still had the Bible verse on it as well. I sent a email to Trijicon who would gladly refurb it for $571
