M16 M4 Comando 
Yes they are the real deal. The M16 barrel was coded 10/08 on the A4 the A2 was from 04 or 05 i think.

Who makes those Velcro slings that wrap around the front of the handguards and the buttstock?
I am building one of these bad boys myself. Just got the upper in today. I think I'm just going to use an MI 2 piece railed handguard though and stick an Aimpoint on it though for the optic. Definitely will need a buttstock mag pouch for it too. Who makes those? I am SOOOOO untacticool!

I don't know what I am going to do with this rifle. It is a bushmaster tax time upper. Shoots great, but a couple small issues drives me nuts. It doesn't have a F marked FSB (had to buy a taller front sight post to get it to zero with irons), The threads arn't concentric to the bore so I don't run it suppressed. If I could get a replacement upper, I would probably sell this one cheap. However no one seems to want to make a 20 in 1:7 govt profile barrel nowdays. Oh and before someone makes a stupid commend on the purple M5 RAS, the one I had in Iraq was brighter purple. |

You would loose maybe 5/8 inch and no one but you would notice. I cut back and turned threads on a friends armalite upper that he botched removing the pinned ban era brake.
CMMG and Sabre make 1/7 20 inch barrels but I am sure the waiting period is sometime into next year. |

Yea, but why should I pay for something that should have been done right to begin with?
I am debating having the barrel chopped to 18.5 and using it for a different project. Shoots well enough that I would debating using it for a SPR like gun. I tell you I hated the M16A4 I had in Iraq. However now that I am home, I do like having a similar rifle. I looked into having the FSB on this replaced with an F-FSB, but it looks like I would be charged over $100 to do that. I think I would just assume wait and buy a BCM upper and then sell this one. I used to like CMMG, but their customer service has gone sour, and I won't expect them to have a barrel with concentric threads. I have no personal experience with Saber, but boy is anything with their name on it expensive hard to get. What I think I would like to do is: Get a good quality accurate(<2 MOA) 1:7 govt profile barrel, free float it with something like a LaRue , DD M4 rail, or URX, and have it ready to be suppressed. It could do just about everything I want. |

I completely lucked out and picked up my 2006 Trijicon TA31 RCO-A4 from Ebay for $300 around October last year. It was used by the Military, beat up, broken glass and was most likely sold as Gov't surplus.
I bought it, send it to Trijicon to be rebuilt since all of their scopes have a lifetime warrenty. After they confirmed it was not stolen from the military they sent it back with a list of what they had fixed which was everything. New lenses, prism, adjustment knobs, and Nitrogen gas. All done FREE of Charge. I know have a factory rebuilt veteran Trijicon for a quarter of the price of a new one. |

That pic is truly helpful in a lot of ways...thanks for posting.
I'm about to select a bayonet, and was wondering how each of those model appeared when installed. Perfect! I'm leaning toward the M7 for my application. The M9 has the 'Bowie Knife' look that I like. The Tanto is 'tantalizing'.

Some views of the CHOATE stock; Tac-Latch; etc.
Just completed, all spooged-up and nowhere to go ––- yet. I will sight it in using both of the detachable sights for now. Trijicon sights might be on the short-order list. A scope will be used to test accuracy potential. The idea was to build something pretty basic and keep it that way. Other than a couple of tweaks to make it 'better basic', that's the plan. This thread really got me going on the idea of a 20" rifle platform, with other features I'd like to have. The upper and LPK were purchased from board members on the EE. Everything else was found elsewhere in the span of a couple of months. It was a lot of fun to put this plan in action and see it to completion in such a short timespan. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I had fun making them possible! And, THANK YOU ALL for getting me to this point. |
