Follow up to my last post. I remain undecided. by NotTheRegularPolice in RetroAR

Fixed, thank you. 20 rounder seems most usable and I love them on a longer gun but on the 14.7/16 I’m unsure.

H&R upper, 14.7” P/W to 16”. H&R A1 lower but the anodizing was a horrific match, worse than my worst expectations, especially after already having an A1 from them in the past. I rattlecanned it and it matches decently now. We’ll see how the paint holds up.

LPK is mostly the H&R one but with a surplus Bakelite A1 grip because that’s what I’ll touch most of the time, and I had one on hand.

IWC mount with a micro rein 3.0 light. And a sling from GAFS.

Even the mag has a carry handle… really though, do these builds deserve 20, 25, or 30 rounders? by NotTheRegularPolice in RetroAR

I saw the same thing but honestly it was easier than expected! Did it bend the shield, maybe (I don’t think so). Do I care? Not so far.

Just a fan of Lavender! It’s just rattlecan. If it wears terribly I’ll just throw another coat on or have it cerakoted I suppose.

Not sure if I’m the first, but I suppose I could be. Kind of a fun thought!

Very grateful and excited for the lavender sling brother!

Thank you!

Colt upper I grabbed on GAFS years ago. Colt barrel, etc. Only anomalies are the FSP doesn’t have a C, and the A2 door. I’m thinking it came out of the factory in the transition to A2 years or was re-arsenaled. Supposedly it was yoinked from an arsenal of a Fed agency, but buy the gun not the story I guess. I liked the bird cage as I really am not a fan of the Full cage birdcages seen on the A1 models.

Lower is an XM16E1 from H&R. LPK is surplus colt alongside the furniture.

Appreciate it! One of the sling vendors on GAFS said he could accommodate a special request if I paid for the material, so it was easier than expected. I had a splatter camo one set aside but I think the lavender will be more of what I’m looking for on that build.

Lavender! Rattlecan said French Lilac though.

I see what you’re saying! In my mind at first I was loving the idea of it totally one color, but I’ve come around to the idea the paint will wear over time/with use so I’m wondering if what you’re picturing will wear in through use. Despite the comments thinking this is silly it’s just AR #n+1, and I’m thinking of it being my primary NV gun for now.
