I don't know if these pictures ever made it here, but I sandwiched a DCM style freefloat tube inside some A1 handguards a few years back. I don't really want to do this again as it involved a couple hours of fitting. This is more to show YOU that it COULD be done if you were so-inclined. The particular customer I did this for wanted a "sleeper" rifle, 1:8 twist heavy barrel that looked old and stock from the outside. I love the flat bottom of the A1 handguards and my personal "utility" rifle is a 20" M16 clone. With the heavy barrel, the rifle sits on your hand very nicely, like a DCM gun should.

Looks like I did not take any pictures. It was built on an A1 receiver. From the outside, it looked just like an A1 rifle with an A2 barrel. Front sight was setscrew installed so the rear sight could be perfectly centered. |

Of course, the A1 is no longer legal for NRA/CMP service rifle shooting... You HAVE to use A2 or A4 outward appearance to be in-regs for service rifle...
