I'm waiting on an M4 upper to use for this rifle.  This was just a mock up but it's pretty awesome.  When/if I get my hands on a KAC MRE I'm going to use this A2 upper for it.

It feels really good and kinda negates my want for a "Service Rifle/High Power" upper I was originally planning to use the A2 for.

After zero I went to the 100yd range to see what it could do.  Other than picking the wrong target for this I'm happy with it.

Almost done. I may swap out the handguard with a slightly shorter one, and I still want to upgrade the sights and optic.

This RRA A4 CAR 9mm I built myself (except the upper half) way back in 2006 and it was my 3rd AR build.

My assembly went smooth without any issues, except the fit of the upper to the lower was very tight at first typical of RRA receivers.

I had some random stoppages during the first 200 rounds but after that it had been very reliable, the fit of the upper to the lower receiver also got loose and easier to open.

I had recently changed the furniture, it had the Magpul MOE grip and MOE buttstock before.

Parts list:
RRA factory complete A4 carbine upper half with 9mm bolt and charging handle
Daniel Defense EZ CAR 7.0 drop-in rails (no longer in production)
Magpul XTM rail panels
Surefire G2 light with Viking Tactics light mount
GG&G Tactical SFG-1 short vertical grip
Magpul original MBUS1 rear sight
Hahn Precision mag block (also have a VM Hy-Tech mag block for my Uzi mags)
Stag Arms ambi selector
RRA lower parts kit
RRA 9mm buffer and carbine spring
BCM mil-spec size 6 position buffer tube
Magpul MOE trigger guard
Magpul SL grip
Magpul SL-K buttstock
Specter Gear MOUT single point sling (adapter shown)
Colt 32 rd 9mm mag (I also have some older tested C Products SS mags)

@ 100yds and in I do pretty good with a red dot. I don’t see the “movement” that you see in a scope. I turn the brightness down to where I can barely see the dot.

I'm not a clone guy, so this is my xm177/GAU "inspired" build and I'm happy with it.

Aluminum stock and barrel assembly from Tony's Customs. Very clean, discreet pin and weld, I was impressed.
604 NDS upper and partial fence NDS lower, both sourced from the EE.
CH and ejection port door are simply modern but grey, from Eagle Outfitters.
The mag may be the only Colt part in the entire thing.  Flat slip ring, receiver extension ring and grip could be too I suppose, all old style and quite used.  All EE sourced.
I did throw in a spare LaRue MBT I had since I'm not going for clone and love those triggers.

She functions great, so I'm still at 100% with my from-the-ground-up assemblies.

I have some refinishing to do, but my garage is not heated so that needs to wait for a warmer season.

This one was a throw together build from some left over parts after I revamped a couple guns.  The lower is a poverty pony with dpms lpk, upper is an aero with a 16" psa barrel and yhm 10" diamond rail. Inside is a toolcraft bcg (not in picture) and psa big latch ch. The barrel was a left over from my sopmod when I went from 16 to 14.5, and the lower was a leftover from my mk12 when I switched over to an a1 lower. Now I'm working on making it a block ii with 12" ris ii but here's the process to how she sits right now...
