My Colt 6520... already had the barrel cut to 14.7" and permed the FH/ Found a Colt C7 upper/..sent it to ADCO for the swap out// And found an Aimpoint 3000 ( documented on BHD carbines). Still need an older style safety selector.

nice, but too bad its an A2 lower instead of A1 profile.
Technically thats not a C7 upper. as it was made after colt stopped making the C7s and diemco started to maek them. not that it matters its still sweet now you need the old surefire light with barrel mount and pressure switch and some tape. ETA is that a colt buttstock and if so where did you get it? you need some 550 and OD tape on tat sling attached to the upper sling loop and FSB too look all delta force BHD cool

The carry handle has a taper and the hand guards have a taper so it makes the Aimpoint seem like its canted. If you look at the Aimpoint in reference to the upper receiver area where the BCG sits it looks to be parallel. |

Very nice, I like the old school setup.
So ya, I don't think I could ever describe how to setup that sling, but back in the day before all the tactical nylon companies were making us great slings...that sling is extra long so you can make it a tactical 3 point sling. The down side to that setup was it's not nearly as adjustable as the new ones, especially a VTac or something along those lines. Anyway, again....nice setup! Oh ya, one more thing... I think someone already mentioned it, but if you can find a "FSP Triangle" and use that for your front sling attachment, ya that would definitely add to it!! (don't forget the 100mph tape on the triangle to make it nice and quiet! ;) ) |

I like it. Have you got any pictures of the actual guns? I'm wondering if they were set up with an A2 pistol grip or an A1. My cloneish kinda thing has an A1.
