Looks great! This Block II is one of my very favorites

I got the Surefire 4 prong. The only thing not milspec is it's pinned and welded and not full auto.

Looks good! I would have much rather have been able to get a 4-prong for a reasonable price, but when the guys who have them are asking well north of $325 these days, it was not an option.

I might not take this build to war in A-stan, but I'd have no problem whatsoever using it in a Living History, reenacting or similar educational role, and it'd probably do in Home D too.

This build will be my new SHTF carbine. I have full faith in what I build as my life and the lives of others may depend on it.

That's how I built my carbines, to be as durable as possible just in case. Nice build by the way, it certainly looks the part. How do you find the fit between the Aero upper, and PSA lower?

Thank you. The fit is spot on. It could not be better.

Renegade, tight rig brother! Well done. I love those RISII rails. I have no clones but I have a skinny barrel colt 16 inches and that RIII FSP cutout. Just love it.

Clean build. I like it.
