Without prior ATF approval, that is.
This pretty much happened because I had a couple spare A2 grips and a front sight with no home.

This was originally one of those hideous UTG sights. It looks pretty good with the back cut off.

A2 VFG. Because.

This cut down A2 grip was a temporary fixture on another build. This is a permanent home.

I've been without a pistol caliber carbine for some time, didn't have anything with M4 furniture, and had nothing with removable fixed sights front and rear. This is all those things and gets rid of some spare parts that would otherwise languish in a box forever.
Its primary purpose will be a quieter indoor range gun that's a little less expensive to shoot. I may form one a suppressor for it. Not entirely sure on that, yet.
It's a 10" barrel, 28-3/4" overall, and 25-1/2" collapsed, mostly comprised of RRA and Anderson Mfg. parts.
