Finished my wifes rifle :)
I built this carbine for my wife. Nothing fancy, she just wanted something easier for her to handle compared to my 6920 in its current 9 pound configuration:rolleyes: Cost me just under $650.00 to build the upper which was cheaper than buying a complete DD upper especially since I already had a spare DD rail on hand. The lower was built about 2 years ago shortly after purchasing a Spikes ST-22 upper. The complete carbine weighs in at 6.7 pounds empty which is just under what a stock 6920 weighs and light enough to get her out shooting more:cool:

Sorry for the crappy pic, camera sucks:(
DD M4 upper receiver
DD BCG
DD 16" lightweight carbine length CHF barrel 1:7 twist / came with F marked FSB which had to be removed anyway to install the rail.
Carbine gas tube also ordered from DD
The lower is Spikes / marked multi cal. (originally built for my Spikes ST-22 upper)
Colt lower parts kit
My 6920 donated the grip / flash hider / carry handle rear sight / charging handle
I stole the DD Lite rail off the ST-22 (which I replaced with the Omega that use to be on my 6920)
Larue Index Clips on sides and bottom of the rail with ladder on top
Also put a DD vertical grip on that was collecting dust in a drawer(not pictured)She likes it/hates my Magpul AVG2.
The upper was assembled tonight and we will be going to the range tomorrow to see how it does. :)
