    Building my big brother an M-4

    Well, I am working on a build right now.
    My big brother is turning 40 this year. A real milestone. He served in the Navy as an enlisted man from 87 to 92 and the Army as an Officer from 97 to 04, so this is a keepsake for him to give his son one day.
    The upper is coming from Del-Ton (it is actually at my sister's house, she lives in SC, I live in NC, didn't want to pay taxes on it, I admit it, I am a cheap bastard). It is a 14.5" M4 1/9 on a flat top, the lower is a DPMS. I am having the lower engraved.

    Here is a photshop of the lower.

    Orion Arms is doing the engraving (www.orion-arms.com )

    Since it is a 14.5" I wanted to be compliant with the law (3/8 of a freaking inch!) I am having an SDI Extended A2 FS Blind-Pinned.


    It is getting topped with a Mateck BUIS.

    It will have a 4 position stock and M4 Handguards. I am trying to get as close to the M4 he carried in the 82nd and the 3rd ID. I will posted pictures when it is finished.

    Thats a damn nice thing to do for your brother, and it sounds like he is very deserving of it.
    There is a fight, that began before any of us were ever born. It will continue, long after we have retired, moved on, and left this world. It is a fight for the soccer mom next door, your mailman, the guy that bags your groceries, and most importantly, it is a fight for your family. We are in a daily battle not for land, not for resources or colonial controls...we are in a fight for our very way of life
