Good idea. Here is my best setup so far.

-L6 upper kit
-BCA 12.5" barrel (modded)
-Tacfun-usa quadrail handguard      w/hotpocket
-Exigent Defense streetgoblin556 can
-Hydra lower w/ dremelsmith front half
-KAK A5 buffer tube
-KAK m16 trigger and CTG Auto Sear
-Bushnell red dot (temporary)
-Amazon/ebay side mount bipod

I have some other parts that may make an appearance in the future. Like an aero enhanced handguard that would fit the upcoming piston conversion. And I may put a higher backpressure OCL polo-k suppressor on it if it needs it. But right now, its pretty nice!

Its just a cheap one. Probably Chinese. I got a few of them secondhand.

I will be printing a new handle for them though. Sgt Hatred/Mongo provided me with a nice file for a round one that looks and feels much better.

Replaced the L6 18” barrel with a KAK 12.5”.
I ordered the barrel from KAK, so I sent it in to L6 to have the gas port opened up to run without a suppressor and machined for pinning a Rifle Speed block.
Using the L6, 10” MI hand guard.

Mine is nothing special.  Standard carbine stock, 12" Tromix barrel/suppressor, LPA sight, Black Widow lower.
The best thing about is......it actually works.

It's a heat shield over the gas tube so I don't burn my fingers.  I shoot left handed.
The hand guard is a Midwest Industries "SP".  The gas tube was sitting tight up against the inside of the hand guard, so I machined a clearance slot for it, then put the cover over the top.  I'm not a fan of quad rail hand guards.

Not a full Lima Six, but...

What are your guys thoughts on this furniture retrofit?
https://imgur.com/a/QBv2Kfm

The handguard houses the folded Versa-Pod bipod 9-12" ski feet model

Off-the-shelf parts:
- Versa-Pod Bipod 9-12" Ski-feet model
- PRI fixed front sight
- Airsoft-grade steel M249 rear sight (if I had a surplus one I'd verify fitment but this airsoft one actually feels pretty solid)

Custom Parts
- Carry handle and mount with spring-loaded detent
- Upper glass-filled nylon handguard cover (fits Midwest Industries Combat Quad-Rail)
- Lower glass-filled nylon handguard cover
- SAW style AR-15 grip w/ storage
- M249 Clubfoot fixed stock for a Rifle-length buffer (uses an internal spacer to bring to A5 operating system length)
- Rear sight adapter for the above rear sight (brings rear sight height to ~1.60 so it "should" work)
- adapter for the Versa-Pod bipod (their pic adapter is super clunky)

Going to be working on a Mk46 style lower handguard for more compatibilty with VFGs and bipods

It’s looks pretty awesome. Only thing that jumped out at me was how the front end of the buttstock sits above the receiver. Looks like it would snag on things or a be jab you. If it was curved down to flow in the rear of the receiver, I’d say A+, but even how it is, I’d probably be tempted to buy one.

If you're going for that M249 "look", it's great and what most guys want.  But if you like to shoot your gun offhand like I do, the M249 hand guard sucks dick.
It's like holding on to a four by four block.  I got rid of it and lost the extra weight of the bipod as well.

Waiting on the Inoculum lower. Other than that, basic build stuff.

First chance I have had to fire it. 200 rd semi break in went perfect. Swapped over buffer and spring and fired another 198 rds of Win M193 in semi,FRT, unsuppressed and suppressed.
6 Ftfire when suppressed, gas position six.

I will give a good cleaning and then run a variety of different ammo through it.

Factory upper on Hydra lower with Dremelsmith adapter. Geissele blem SSA-E with Arc fire V2 0-45-90.

Replaced the L6 marked bolt with a Lima 6 marked one from my build kit and need to get a different mount for the Acog as this one doesn't tighten down sufficiently.

Build kit will be a 10.3" on an Inoculum lower with a Tisha dedicated to it. Looking forward to getting all the finishing touches for it.

Staunch proponent of dangerous freedom.

Tony;

As a fellow lefty, I gots ta know- do you get pummeled by brass when you shoot the Lima 6?  I was out to the range with mine the other day and my right shoulder got pretty well battered.  This was a first time out and the upper functioned fine, but I'm sure I have some tuning to do.

Not sure, I've never actually tried it.

I'm also thinking about making another version of the charging handle that has a built in brass deflector for lefties.

Let me know if you do, as it will save me the trouble of making one.  Right now, it's no fun shooting my new toy.

Lefty here!

I have no issues as long as my stock is extended all the way. If I short stock it, my neck is the brass deflector!
