memory here?
About 20 years ago I set up a civy legal version of what had been a team leader weapon at work.
A CAR-15 with an M203.

I used a commercial SA carbine, with a Cobray 37mm launcher. Replicate what you have at work is the same reason I bought a 92FS after we traded our .45s in. Then when you are having fun at the range, you are training with what you have. I never had 203 CL handguards for it, I just used the top of regular handguards.
I went through the dozen or so flares I got for it, got bored after a while, took it off, and that carbine has tolerated every crazy configuration I have played with since. The launcher just sat in the safe.
With enough flat top ARs to have plenty of other set ups, I was running it some recently in its original slick set up for old times sake.
By chance I found a deal on CL 203 HGs with a leaf site I could not pass up. Nostalgia took over, and I set it back up.
Now for the armorer question. Does a standard M4 type side sling swivel fit? I cannot remember off the top of my head, was there a special side sling swivel I need to find? Thank you for any information.

And yep, I am already planning on a trust to get a SF suppressor, so I just may have to DD stamp this so I can use something other than flares with it.
