I figured I might as well post pics of what I call my "junkyard" ARs, mainly because they are sort of a hodgepodge of somewhat "retro" and more current parts.
Excuse the crappy pics, I still have a 5 megapixel camera.
This started as an attempt to put together something like a Colt 653 and got lost along the way. Parts breakdown as follows:
BCM barreled upper
BCM BCG
Magpul MOE handguards w/ Israeli wraps (I find they improve my grip.)
BCM Gunfighter Mod 4 charging handle
Chopped carry handle rear sight.
Cheap Chicom made ladder rail cover
Stag lower receiver.
Stag LPK
M16A1 pistol grip
Colt receiver extension/"N" stock/"H" buffer/spring/end-plate/castle nut.
The lower was assembled quite a while ago, like a few years ago actually. The reason for the grit tape on the lower receiver stems from the fact that at the time I assembled it I was new to ARs (having been a pretty staunch AK guy up until that point.) so when I'd "index" it I had a bad habit of automatically resting my finger right across the mag release. The grit tape was added to give me some kind of tactile memory to not do that.
Now my midlength.
BCM 16" barreled upper.
BCM BCG
MOE handguards w/ Israeli wraps again.
BCM charging handle.
LMT rear sight.
Chicom ladder rail cover
Surplus Arms and Ammo SA-15 lower
Stag LPK
M16A1 pistol grip + grip tape
Unknown make (Maybe Stag or Cav Arms?) of CAR stock I got for free from someone I know.
BCM Receiver extension/castle nut/endplate
I've actually got a CAR buffer in it right now but if I recall my forum browsing correctly I'd probably be fine putting an "H" buffer in it.
Yes that's a Bulgarian IK-520 40 round magazine in it, I have a few of them I got for kicks. The few times I've used them they've done fine but I intend to test them out some more before really trusting them.
Not pictured are the Spec-Ops Brand Patrol slings I use (though if you look closely at the CAR's barrel you can see where the sling melted to it...oops..)
I have the MOE rails when it's time to add lights and an Aimpoint PRO is in the near future for one of the rifles, probably the midlength.
