Oh yea I assumed you'd sell everything else, but still that's a $2k gun you stripped down even if that's not quite what you paid for it lol

And don't think I'm being critical at all, I envy your ability to do that and enjoyed seeing the outcome. Very cool and unique setup you put together.

I bought the upper only so I'm in about half. Maybe my pain can open the door for others if they'd sell the receiver separately. I think they'd sell well.

Ah I see, that's much more palatable. Idk anything about the 416 market other than it's $$$$$$, but it seems like a good idea honestly. Shouldn't be too long now before people start getting bored with plain old AR mlok stuff releasing again and again.

Not sure exactly but my M4 had knights rails in early 2001 when I got to my unit. While I didn’t have the same M4 the whole time, I guarantee we all had the same rails and none of them were replaced.

I meant the year wasn't the same as my birth year, but the month and day match up. I was curious about the year the KAC 600M rear sight was introduced. Or 300m.

That’s what I’ve got on my Mod V (Mod H with a MUR upper

It's a 14.5 with an original OPS Inc can, same kind likely as 90s 723 and 727s. There's no visible knurling, and the original cans had knurling on the blast baffle/collar end which would mostly be under the handguard.

12th model seems to only have been designed/made concurrently with the SPR program around 99-2000. Allegedly the Sawman recce pic was taken around that time so likelihood it was a 12th is very low. Also actual 3rd models were .30 cans for bolt guns, we've been mislabeling the OG Ops cans as 3rd Models for a long time.
