    What should I do with this?

    ...Besides give it away, that is.

    This little puppy showed up in the mail today:


    I've got some ideas for a build...but am still up in the air on it. Anybody got suggestions? That IDF thread has a lot of ideas in it...

    K.I.S.S. build w/11.5" would be my vote. What upper is that?

    Something that I'm just finishing, utilizing an A1 upper:

    -A1 upper with round (A2) foward assist and XS same plane rear apeture

    -14.5" M4 barrel with Colt M4 handguards and Sabre Defense long A2 flash hider

    -LMT Lower with Vltor Carbine stock and Tango Down Battlegrip


    Light, handy, short, was a fairly inexpensive project, no NFA, no bells, no whistles, no BS. Something I can teach new shooters with, use as a truck gun, etc.

    Jeff,
    I like where you're going with that.

    I remember seeing at one point a A1-uppered Midlength with a Magpul stock, in coyote, that you posted up. Still got that rifle? I remember it being pretty slick.

    Akoni,
    Sounds good but unless somebody wants to donate to my tax-stamp fund...probably a no-go. ETA: It's a Bushmaster.

    I really like that.

    I'll end up with one of three setups:

    14.5" M4 barrel w/ perm attached, M4 stock like adh shows.
    16" Midlength (matches my primary rifle), M4 stock.
    M4-profiled Dissipator barrel and fixed stock (Sully or A1). For some reason I really dig this one...

    A pencil barrel like this one from the IDF thread would be neat as well (maybe I can get the wife into a IDF uniform...grrr )

    I like adh's set-up. Just switch the M4 contour with a pencil barrel and that would be my choice for an A1 upper.

    And if all else fails i'm sure the UPS man could help me help you

    I like the looks of ADH's rifle, but would probably add one thing. A SureFire M500A to it.

    Speaking of which, I need to find one of those SureFires and get started on this as my next upper project...I have everything else, but the A2 upper receiver...although I do have two orignial flat side upper receivers waiting to be used...


    Humm...the choices this forum brings to me!

    I sold the the mid length you are refering to, in order to fund another project. But I miss it a lot, so started a new A1 project. I wanted something lightweight and compact. Thus I went with the 14.5" M4 on the A1 upper.

    Just waiting on the bolt carrier group and charging handle to be delivered and it will be a complete.
