PD trade in Restricted marked pencil barrel A2 carbines.

Request for 20” WWSD configuration

Are there A1 Carbine Handguards that would fit a round end cap?

Seems like the A2 clam shells will fit either triangle or round end caps but seeing mixed answers on the A1.

Or would the only way be to remove FSB and swap end caps ?

Thanks

It looks like this is a commercial thing now…

Might rebuild the a2 into a 750

Parts as in retro optic.

So im looking for pictures of M16A2 and Colt 733 clones with ACOGS or Aimpoint Red Dots with flashlights and jerry rigged forgrips.

The reason im looking for pictures of these clones is because i had weird idea for a book inspired by a cheesey and hamey but cool B Movie Day Lights End and suspensefull ride from start to finish for me at least called State Of Emergency.

And I wanted to use older style rifles for my MC as a way to show the principles of my book which are make do with what you have,a guns a gun even if its outdated, and you're damned if you use it but fucked if you don't use it.

I know my ideas stupid but this is what im fixated on.

I was wondering if there’s any reasonable way I can wear down and/or repaint my lower to match the grey color of my colt upper. I love this build but the mismatched upper and lower will always bother me juuust enough to make this post, lol.

I just saw the post by u/RobbingTheFukingHood regarding his A1 lower wear down (which looked phenomenal) but that lower may have started grey, not black like mine. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello enthusiasts I was wondering if there was a way to run the otter creek ocm5 on a colt 11.5 fsb. I think it would work with the midway adapter but not sure. Any help is appreciated

Before you ask, yes, I've looked, maybe I suck at google. I'm trying to find out if there is a understood ranging for the 727. (400m is really 300m, something like that) Obviously the sight was made for m855 out of a 20.

In search of a 30mm low profile wide single ring for a weaver rail. I’ve looked through old posts and numerous spec sheets online and can’t find anything confirmed to fit on a weaver rail. The Primary Arms Low 30mm is the closest I’ve came to a conclusion but on an old post one person said it fit and it didn’t in another weaver rail. I don’t know if the Aimpoint Ring for the PRO works for sure. A rep answered a question and said “…it will work on a carry handle with an ARMS style mount, which could be Picitinny or Weaver, I believe. The Pic being about 0.026” wider, Pic rings will not fit on a Weaver (in most cases?) I’m more confused now than I was an hour ago. I get that the Weaver has smaller slots but I’m not sure everyone does. On spec sheets they say Weaver or Picatinny but after looking around I find it doesn’t fit on a Weaver.

If you’ve got one you know works send it on!

Picked up at a local gun show. This will be going on a CAR15 build.

Got ahold of some of these and sorted out the working ones

Sold a few on AKfiles but figured there might be some IDF cloners on here who would want one

They are in rough shape cosmetically but the reticles are bright and visible during the day and at night

No mounts, just the sight

Asking one fiddy shipped

Picked up this $12 scope mount from bkf, feel like I probably just blew $12 but I haven't heard of anything from them that's not gtg so I'm going to trust their sourcing and gamble my $12 on this one. Worst case I throw it away and run irons for awhile, I opted for a 727 over 723 build because I want the over complicated iron sight adjustments anyways. I'm not even sure that Weaver 20mm is the same as 1913 lol (I'm pretty sure it is though). Anyone ever used these? Can't imagine it's good, but you guys said their $10 CAR stock was good so who knows.

Building out a 723 now, I think I've got everything right but I want to go with a 16" instead of 14.5" so I don't have to deal with pin & welds. Does it look stupidly long up front? Any suggestions for a muzzle device? It really doesn't have to be clone correct I just don't want it to look stupid

edit: could anyone post some pics or share some reference images if possible, if I google "16 inch 723" I find a lot of pencil barrels but I can't really tell 14.5 vs 16 by the eye

I just pitched my first suppressor it is a F1 Voyager Elite I got a deal with and F1 FRD15 for $899 total but I want to be able to use it on my 737 clone what do you guys recommend for an adapter?

Hello, fairly new to ar's but completely ignorant on retro builds. Just recently decided that, cosmetically, I love these old school looking ar's. Since this would be a full time shooter, what should I be looking for as far as reliability and quality is concerned. Been looking at the colt le6920. But, like I said, I'm new to this and don't know if I'm looking at the best option. Thanks

End of the 723 line and the start of the m40a1

Been working on this over the course of the year. Almost finished!

I'll post the whole rifle once my silencer gets out of jail. For now, the stock that I'm quite proud of.
