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 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
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.
