Since my M4 post wasn't technically correct for this subforum, here's an actual A2 build. I don't think I've posted it here before?

14.5 inch mid length, A2 upper, A1 length Cav Arms stocks, Brownells Ar10 Portuguese handguards and a faux kinda sorta Portuguese rattle can camo.

It really is a handy set up. I think if I did it over again I'd do a 16 inch pencil barrel like yours looks to be.

Yeah, I thought it was a neat look. I had to Dremel out a notch for the M4 end cap but it was a quick mod.

RRA upper with DD barrel. It is very handy

I have a midlength rifle I don’t even use, I also have an A2 upper, skinny middy handguards and a CAR stock in the parts bin.

They do. I like the whole gun, especially with the full stock.

Finally really had a chance to run the middy build. Happy to report it works great. Minor sight adjustment needed but that was a quick fix. The mid length gas system and rifle buffer seem to make for a very smooth shooting carbine.

Where did you find the handguard?

I ended up finding a set on Gunbroker. This was last year at some point I guess now when I did that build.

Thanks.  Was scrolling through looking for some a2 inspiration.  I think I’ve found it.
