    Another early A1 clone. Still haven't gotten around to shooting this one, but in person it's one damn elegant rifle. Since the photo was taken I've put a proper "no tick" safety on it.


    And a 727-esque carbine in old skool tactical mode. Remember when a 65 lumen weaponlight was considered "bright"? Although to be honest the optic is just for the photo op, this is an irons only gun. And the old TLR-1 has been replaced with a Surefire G2X.

    Exactly, thanks for the assist. I thought it was unique...

    Any chance someone has info on what we’re looking at? Shaved upper, weird-butt scope and mount, 11.5” barrel with modulator...

    It's on a partial fence lower with a fixed stock, which is the least weird aspect of this thing....
    Obviously the entire carry handle/rear sight has been removed as well.

    That might actually be a 10.5" barrel, so an XM177E1, but it could be an 11.5" XM177E2 with basically the entire FSB removed except for a little nub where the gas tube enters and is retained by the roll pin.

    I'm not actually sure how that scope is mounted...

    The FSB has had both it's height and length shortened and that is a 10 inch barrel. You can tell by how close the moderator sets to where the front of the FSB should be. The Colt 609 & 610 used a 10 inch barrel and a partial fence lower.

    The scope mount is probably drilled & tapper or silver soldered to the barrel, either on top with a hole to let the tube pass through, or is an L mount fixed to the side.

    It's possible they installed the modified upper on a A1 rifle lower. Push Pull, Click Click! Change Uppers That Quick!
