You can watch the EE forum, I've seen them from time to time. Once me and a friend walked in to the local gun shop who had two M14 mags for sale. So my buddy who was carrying his M1a tried them and couldn't get them to lock. I took a look and low and behold the floor plates on the mags was marked Armalite. They where gen 2, and priced at $14 each! SOLD!! |

Has anyone built a lightweight 20" using a KE arms lower?

Got this upper in by far one of the weirdest trades I’ve ever been apart of.
I think it’s an OG bushmaster barrel. Some weird ass brake. Pri front sight and charging handle. On an ancient surplus ammo and arms lower. Super fun musket. Attached File |

View Quote Did you have to trim the rail? I thought the Aero 12.7" rail would partially cover the gas block normally, but will happily be wrong. Additionally, who did the pin for the fsb? That's a great looking stick. |

If you haven't heard of him already, I highly recommend his work. Super fast and very reasonably priced. https://i.imgur.com/7C0Op9r.jpg View Quote I'll be honest and admit I might just clone that and put a PA 3x prismatic on top and call it good to go. That's a great looking rifle. My current 20" is a heavy pig but super accurate (RRA match HBAR) so something lighter and handier would be nice. |

I miss that one, I'll definitely build another some day. |

Light is definitely my preferred. I had built out a 20” Larue stealth with a 13.2 Larue quad rail. It was stupid heavy. Parted it out and never shot it. Went with an fn chf barrel and 13.5 Geissele mk4, much more maneuverable and handy. I might eventually build a match upper for that lower but for now, I love blasting fmj through my setup. I can even run and gun with it pretty well.

Any of you guys built an A4 inspired rifle with a BCM QRF? I went back through the last several pages and didn’t see any.

I had an A4 upper once, but I wasn’t a big fan of the RAS so I sold it, the QRF is lighter and free floating so I was thinking I’d like it better. I’d like to see how it looks on a “clone” though. |

Not that it had any malfunctions with the standard carbine, but seemed "cleaner" recoil with the H. |

I have 20” Clinton era bushmaster A2 HBAR. It’s been sitting lonely in the back of the safe while the SBR’s and M4gerys get the love. Trying to decide if it’s worth pulling the barrel and swapping for a lighter military barrel with flash hider and bayonet lug. Maybe if I got back into the A2 it would get some range time.
