    The MUR is a good receiver, but it does weigh and cost a bit more.

    Thanks! I did see that one but it has the shell deflector on it.

    I wanted to ask another question so I figured I'd ask in a thread that I already had started.

    I'm having trouble finding a .625 FSB that is non F marked to use with the A1 upper. Does anyone know of a place I can look? I guess I'm just not hitting the right sites. If I can find one with out the bayo lug and sling mount that would even be better.

    Thanks in advance if you know of a site that would sell them.

    Used but it's a colt part. I am pretty positive that 16a1 is .625 id but it wouldn't hurt to confirm.

    STOP!

    Seriously Stop.

    What's the purpose of the gun? I get and like KISS but what you're talking about doesn't make sense. Cutting down a detachable carry handle to make BUIS makes sense. What you're talking about doesn't.

    If it's a truck gun why does an ounce of weight or even 8 ounces matter.

    I built an A1 upper for my SBR. I love it. Just ran 90 rounds FA through it a few days ago.

    Also if you're looking to buy a used FSB don't. They are drilled while mounted to your bbl. Durring this process the underside of the bbl is also drilled. This is what holds the front sight base in place.

    It looks different now with MOE handguards and a light mounted but it is still my KISS gun.

    I'm not going to cut it down at this point. I was just curious as I have seen this done. Nice SBR. This is going to be my truck gun and I want something fool proof.

    I'm going to use a new FSB at this point I have decided anyhow. I just want to have the the lug and sling mount cut off.

    Op, I'd recommend getting a flattop upper instead of cutting anything. Put in the flat top, save the A2 upper just it case you change your mind.

    Do not buy a Carbon 15 lower. A google search will explain why, and in detail.

    Try to keep the front end of the gun free of clutter. Use either the MOE handguards or a rail system with detachable rails. I took a few rails off of my CASV-M rail system and it feels pounds lighter. The rails I took off were short ones too, around 2" or so.
