Not related, but it is a semi 733 clone.
It’s on a Aero Precision lower I stamped for a MK18 build. I have a PSA M16A2 lower that I need to Form1, but I keep getting distracted and buying other stuff.  Attached File |

Love this set up, nice work. By the way, did they ever make bayonets for the CAR-15? Guess it wouldn’t make sense, seeing how short a distance the birdcage/lug are. Never mind.

A Belgian pattern FAL bayonet will fit over a standard 22mm NATO flash hider.
 You just have to have a step/shoulder in the right spot for the latch to butt up against. |

@benw8887
We make a bayonet lug for Mossberg 500 shotguns that takes the FN pattern bayonet. And this would be a similar concept.   Basically, in order to fit on an AR you need a flash hider that gives you a step/shoulder at 1.5" from the front of the FSB. The back of the bayonet stops on the front of FSB and the latch snaps down behind the step on the back of the muzzle device. |

The back of the bayonet stops on the front of FSB and the latch snaps down behind the step on the back of the muzzle device. Without the notch, though, the bayonet is free to rotate. It would also be ideal to use a muzzle device that uses flash vents similar to a FAL's in configuration, to match the bayonet. The South Africans did make a modified version for use with their Galil, although they didn't make many and didn't use them for much more than ceremonial stuff. The other socket bayonet to consider is the one for the L85, which has a more conventionally-shaped blade. |

You forgot The Wild Geese and Tears of the Sun. Quoted: Thanks for the breakdown. I'm more interested in going for an early-ish 733 "Heat" clone, and liked the idea of getting the upper as light as possible, so went with their C7 upper and lite barrel option. C7 11.5 Commando Lite Hammer Forged Upper ETA: also picked up a two position receiver extension and polymer stock from Retrorifles. They have the aluminum in stock, but 200+ seemed a bit over the top since it won't be going on a clone correct lower. @towerofpower94 What's the build quality on these uppers? Are you happy with the purchase? |

Del-Ton barrels are fine, but have a .750 gas journal, even on their lightweight ones. Looks off on a retro gun. Pencils are tough lately. Watch the EE and Gunbroker, they'll pop up from time to time but you've got to move when you see them. |

I use irons most of the time, switching to a dot primarily to stay in practice with it once in a while. The problem is most of them are made in China and are not made to be taken off and put back on frequently. |
