OK Here's my NEARLY complete XM16E1 build!
NoDak XM16E1 lower with a "jellied" DPMS LPK
Upper is an early no code square forge that was given to me for free. I say free but yall know how that works. It infected me with RBRD so "free" has cost me a lot of money!
That upper was a pitted nasty mess and the legendary artist John Thomas made it beautiful again!
C MP CHROME BORE barrel assembly from the LM upper I bought at a Fun Show for the port door and rear sight.
BoyWonder Mottled Stock ETA No Tick Safety and Trigger Guard
Mottled Grip and Drain Hole Hand Guards from members here whose names I've forgotten.
Gray Slip Ring from Dean
C marked Colt Bolt Assembly I got in an even trade with a RBR member for the early bend gas tube that came on my OOW upper.
TONS of advise and tips and help and inspiration from all you retro heads here! This project would not be complete without you guys help!
Still need to properly mount the barrel and install the gas tube. Needs a gray Mag button and a beat up FA assembly.
Also need to work the finish on the lower some more. It matches the round forge no code upper pretty good but is still too dark for this E1 upper.
Going to a Fun Show today and see if I can sell something to be able to finish this out.
Wonder how much I can get for one of the kids?
