So I made another retro. A 653 I built for my brother. I know the FH is an extended A2, and the Lower is an A2 (gray McKay). But every thing else is GTG. Well except the F marked FSB and the Tick mark selector, but really it's okay!
Here is his new CAR:


The others that we invited:



And yes they get shot:

Nice build.  My 654 replica is the best handling of my AR's, bar none.  Mine has the extended A2 as well, I built it before anyone was making extended A1's.  I bet your brother is mighty pleased.

He asked me to build it after he shot my Israeli clone. I've got a picture of him with a big S&*t eating grin, but wont post with out permission.
We were out after it started to get dark. That extended A2 works VERY VERY well at hiding flash. Made the A1 bird cages look like flame throwers.

I don't have a place to shoot at night, that sounds like fun.  Now that I look at it again, it looks alot like mine; in fact, the only difference may be the forward assist:
