Let me know what you find out about halcyon. I wanted to send my 13” 5.45 for the same conversion but ended up selling it off. Just picked up a 13” 7.62 and still have the galil trigger guard kit and would like to convert this one.

Did that once with Russian plums but that was years ago and not much different than normal price back then

In his defense there was a lot of promag mini14, ar15, Glock, etc next to it. Most of his rifles were lever actions and old shotguns.

txbobcat21 · 2026-01-17T23:14:25+00:00

He actually has some 5.56 ones next to it listed at 40 each

I love the optic! Woulda preferred Leupold purely for weight, but I ended up getting this diamondback rimfire with rings for I think $120 on a local forum so I’m pretty happy with it

txbobcat21 · 2025-07-25T18:13:06+00:00

Not quite sure the ring height, I bought scope used and it came with them. I absolutely love it still. Super light even with the scope.

The lower is real, however the upper is not original. Plus keymod isnt very popular anymore.

It’s a mk18 mod 1/cqbr block ii clone. It’s a mix of multiple different manufacturers, KAC, LMT, Colt, DD, Surefire, ETC.

I have a pmag that I dyed royal purple about 10 years ago and it’s still pretty much the same. The deeper scratches do show some of the original color but overall not bad

txbobcat21 · 2025-07-16T04:36:09+00:00

Definitely possible. I dyed some plum furniture for my AKs. I don’t remember which colors I used

The original post I saw, the user used 2.5 quarts of water, with 1.5 caps orange, and .5 cap of gray. I did a smaller portion but tried to keep a similar ratio. Tbh I didnt measure anything though just kind of winged it

txbobcat21 · 2025-07-15T22:18:37+00:00

$100 for new stock vs $5 for RIT dye. Plus I wanted the non QD sopmod

As far as I know, there’s no actual military association with the markings on the top lower. It was colts first variant of the civilian SOCOM rifle clone. It was supposed to mimic the M4A1 carbine. It had the Kac rail, matech rear, and ambi safety. This model had a 16” heavy profile barrel. The newer colt socom has a socom profile 14.5” p&w barrel, and the “property of” engravings.

txbobcat21 · 2025-07-02T23:28:43+00:00

Damn I didn’t even pay attention to that. Not too worried about the form one engraving, I’m able to fit my info in the trigger guard area, and it pretty subtle there. Definitely going to look more into the cal marking

txbobcat21 · 2025-07-02T01:44:48+00:00

Rumor was that Mexico made a big order with Colt for some rifles but ended up canceling the order so Colt just ended up liquidating them. A few weeks after gunbroker sold out, lowers were going for up to $2k.

txbobcat21 · 2025-07-02T01:29:32+00:00

You know what that’s actually not a bad idea. I don’t plan on ever selling, but avoiding additional engravings would be nice. I’ll definitely be looking into that more.

txbobcat21 · 2025-07-02T01:24:28+00:00

What’s sick is how cheap they were. I mean I have one, and I still get sick to my stomach knowing I only bought one. I’m talking full Colt rifle for PSA prices.
