I want to do the same build as you except go total slick side, but I cannot find 14.5" pencil barrels with FSB anywhere. |

It's a Brownell's 14.7. It seems like everything has been wiped out for months. Hopefully things will start coming back in stock soon. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bigstick61: Thanks. I'm eager to shoot it (once I can find some 5.56mm ammo). Finding areas to reduce weight, the aesthetics of it, and the fact that I dislike the protrusion are the main reasons I wanted to go with no-FA. The lack of a FA also makes replacing the ejection port cover much easier on a fully assembled upper. I just checked out FA's site myself. Seems like they may be sold out. They only have that upper available as a complete 20" 604/M-16 assembly. Not sure if Nodak has anything. Heard back from Fulton Armory. No more uppers, no plans currently to re-stock. What's on the site is what they have. |

Hopefully they eventually make more. Good to have the option available. I guess I'm glad I did not procrastinate on this build. The timing ended up working out. Same with the barrel (16" lightweight midlength). Almost everything was gone by the time I got it, but I lucked out. |

Im thinking they're doing that to keep assembled uppers instock. They still sell stripped lowers though, I ordered one on Saturday, it should be delivered this afternoon, along with a LPK, and "mil-spec" buffer assembly. Im pretty stoked on it, I hoping the quality from their "classic" rifles has spilled over into their modern offerings. |

Here is my contribution. FN 14.7 barrel pinned and welded A2 FH. Barrel is thicker under the handguards then pencil out front.. Bolt carrier group is the Geissele branded who's knows who made it bolt. LMT FCG. Brownells C7 upper and A1 lower (swapped out now but not in pic). Lots of Brownells clearance and sale parts in this one. ARMS mount and Aimpoint 5000 up top. John Thomas did the front sight install and pin and weld job,, it looks great It! It needs a few minor things but is ready for the range.

I used to have two of those Aimpoints. Gave 'em away to other shooters after I upgraded. They got used on rifles just like the beauties on this page so all is well. |

Retrofuturism in action.
  The rest of the gaggle.     Plus I have another Bushmaster Shorty Rifle like the last rifle shown. Very similar to a Colt MT6731 like this with a A3 upper receiver.  Except it is a LEO Only Rifle made during the ban and the rifle has a threaded barrel with a A2 flash hider and a bayonet lug. I just have no photo of it at the moment. |
