ooooooh, i gotta get a dig camera!
i've got a pretty one!
started as a pre-ban eagle arms hb carbine.(waited a LOT of tables in '92 to buy it!)
replaced parts with:
-colt 4 position stock- tube matches rec finish closely
-colt flat-top upper rec w/colt carry handle- finish also matches lower closely(lt gray). had an m-4 marked upper, but it didn't match, and was rough in a couple of spots.
-wilson's heavy m-4 config barrel. 1/9tw. cut under 16" with the a2 flash hider welded on to equal 16.1 oal. hard to tell the diff from a 14.5". just about 1/2" more. i got it from j&t. first one i saw, years ago.
-colt a2 pistol grip and larger m-4 hand guards.
-colt side sling adaptor
-jp trigger
-have a colt c-mor, a m500a light, and just ordered an nsn reflex. want to get a ta01nsn in the future.
-have a cobray launcher which i have extensively re-worked to resemble an m203. had to make the cutaways in the hand guard ferrule to fit. have both sights, including adaptor for tangent sight to fit detachable carry handle. will get a real 203 someday... and an m-16 to turn into an m-4, for that matter.
-have an m9 bayo, with a spacer, so it will fit on longer barrel.
-gi "silent" sling
-and i collect military equipment, so i have all the gear to dress up like gi-joe if i like... i really just have it all on a mannequin, i'm not that odd.[%|]
looks beeyootieful, shoots better!
i forgot- finishing touch: 3 bushmaster teflon mags, for show.[8D]
a little help- i would like to locate a spare m9 bayo grip, to cut-up to use as a spacer- anyone?
also- i have noticed (in pics) some operators with what appears to be a 1/3 longer "silent" sling. a2 version is just barely long enough, and i dont want to put a tac sling on it. any ideas on if it exists and where to get one? have asked several active duty military folks with no concrete results.- thanks.
