Here are some of my “inspired” rifles Kind of a bhd build but modernized with a comp and fat handguards. https://i.imgur.com/pGBbtoN.jpg These got me in trouble in the mk18 thread.. this is more correct (still missing things) https://i.imgur.com/UfsC6Jl.jpg And this is the inspired mk18, but I loved the BCM rail and H1 on the kac Mount. https://i.imgur.com/eIPOXjdrcO.jpg The best part is you can “clone” what you like and make the rest yours... All of those are awesome. |

Someone suggested I post my rifle in this thread. I just finished it up last week as a sort of prototype and I'm very pleased with it so far.
I took a PRI Hand guard I picked up used and cut it approx 3" shorter. I removed the end cap from cut off section and moved it to the remaining hand guard. I cut the top rail and moved it back so it was a bit longer than the top rail. 14.5" barrel with the brake pinned and welded to get to the required 16".Obviously a Mk12 inspired build and nowhere near a correct clone but I like it.

My builds all center around GWOT clones, or at the minimum inspired looking setups. It makes me feel like Im back repairing Army Weapons, and thats my goal :)
the 733 upper and Mk12 Mod H are clones, the 12.5" is a mini-recce that is heavily .mil done, and the m1A is of course Shughart. the C7CT will be going SAM-R, and the howa is just .civ stuff but the low optic and paint really gives it a ".223 XM3" style flow. the M4 upper never stops being changed. its always on the chopping block it was recently a 10.3". the M9A1 is the standard USMC issue, with some lil mods here n there. im trying to have different enough builds so i dont have two of the same thing. they currently all fit a different slot and i like that. I hope these are ok!

BIG THINK:
I have a DD Omega 9 I'm thinking of chopping out a FSP pocket for my Operation Gothic Serpent rig. Can this be done with only a Dremel and patience? Plan is to get a MRE but this would do in the meantime.
