You also need a 4.5" flash-hider to permanently pin to that 11.5" barrel or a completed and approved Form 1 to SBR that lower...

I still haven't gotten a shipment confirmation from spike's...
**Edit** Called spike's and they say there's a domino effect that is delaying orders that originated with the lack of lowers but, they stated they would ship my order of parts out today.

Maybe its me, but the forward assist looks "funny", looks to deep. If its hanging up, it could be bad. If you use it,and it sticks forward and you pull the trigger....ouch

I don't think it's even attached, just mocked up. It's not installed in the other pictures.

Good eye lol. I figured you guys would catch it but it is mocked up...I just dropped it in the hole for the picture I haven't installed it yet.

I'm going to go with a Troy TRX Extreme 9 instead of the MI T-7 I want the light weight rail to counter the weight of the fake silencer. I'm still open to suggestions on 10.5" barrels.

Personally I'd ditch the ET1 and go with a 16" barrel and the Spikes fake can that slips back over the barrel.  Same look with more functionality.

This is what everyone says. I know this is a useless build but I want a SBR one day (not yet) and I also want a silencer one day this will be a temporary fix for that "hole." I already have a 14.5 AR and that will be my Go To gun after a few upgrades.
This build is just  just a more modern version of this

Okay after a lot of thinking I've come to a conclusion.

I have a 14.5" carbine with a "rough" bushmaster barrel...there was a little thread damage while removing a bushmaster mini-y comp. This barrel will be sent to adco to be cut and threaded at 10.5 inches. Then the fake can that gets everybody so jumpy will go on that already POS barrel. After the addition of a m4 RAS this will be a MK18 inspired variant etc. and a gun that is completely form over function.
The above build will receive a DD 14.5 Carbine barrel with fsp and I will low-pro the fsp for a more reliable gas block then attach a Troy TRX extreme 9 and possibly some troy sights. Sell everything else and cut my losses. I will then have a fun gun and a respectable carbine as opposed to two useless firearms.

I would advise against perm. attaching the fake can.
Tom from Spike's advised a guy recently against this very thing. I'll see if I can find the thread.

It was me...lol
Why would they say this on their website if they don't recommend it?
If your using an ET-1 to get a 16" OAL it needs to be perm attached!

[#31]
Sorry, did not realize it was you until a few seconds ago when I found the other thread.

As for why they have that on there website, you would need to take that up with Spikes.

I like your build and even the fake suppressor looks kool. Post up new picks when the barrel gets in. I am building a Larue upper lower with 3 upper version and I may get a fake can for one of them till I get my paper work done for a real one. (great idea) It will make the wait not as bad for sure. Good Luck with the neat build.
5/16/2011 6:20:08 AM EDT

I like the fake can too but it makes more sense to use it on an old barrel and buy a new 14.5. What I like least about the fake can is the lack of flash suppression but, on a rifle that's mostly for looks and fun the flash will be fine.
