I just remember when Troy was OK because Dick's cancelled all their sales with them.  Go away for a while and boom, we hate Troy.

Fuck Dick's for fucking Troy!  Fucking Troy, they're dicks!

You can build a better clone for less money.

Other than the slightly longer barrel, and the lack of Colt roll marks, they look pretty damn close to me. <shrug>







I have a 653 clone that I'm planning to convert to an XM177E2; will be my first SBR.

I just raided my spare parts bin and ordered a few parts. Still need the A2 handguards.
Sort of a Bushmaster Commando.
A Bushido?

It has an A2 port door, the moderator isn't quite right and the finish is all wrong.

The reprofiling of the lower isn't all that great either.

Can anyone recommend a sling that's similar to this with the para cord mounts?
View Quote


The sling comes from the one used on the two quart canteen. To cut down on rattle, GIs would cut off the metal snaps that connected to the canteen cover and replaced them with para cord.

The 2-quart canteen is still in the inventory, only nowadays, they come in olive drab and FDE.

Mine built on a Colt pre-ban lower with a 1:9 pencil barrel and "Brick moderator" reproduction. Not a perfect clone since the lower is a slab-side.

She now lives with my brother several hundred miles away, a casualty of SAFE. Weighed 6.5 pounds loaded with a 30-rounder and was a riot to shoot.

I would love one of these Troys if I could. Probably the GAU-5 reproduction.

They most certainly are. Even with correct roll marks.
I'll get more detailed pics at 2017 SHOT Show. Rumor has it, they will be north of $3K though:

It's immaterial.  If the board was willing to drop a paying sponsor because there was a noisy and butthurt minority, it shows the rest of the sponsors that their ad revenue is less valuable than the noisy and butthurt minority.  Imagine if GD decided that PSAs slow ship times was worth a yee-haw'd, or if they wanted to pick a side in the LaRue vs Giselle trigger war.  What if the nerds on this board decided that the fact that ArfCom hasn't moved their servers from a company in NYC to a Texas company is anti-freedom and got loud?  Should Arf abandon their current hosting provider?

Mine is flawless, you can leave the engraving off and have a pony put on it.  It is not perfect but close enough unless you are a super retro guy.  Do your own research on troy.  The colt will be over $2500 and who knows when it will come out.

Weis got fired right quick.  But not Dale Monroe, Lon Horiuchi's spotter.  Troy stands behind him 100%.

My decision to not buy their products is nothing compared to my wife's response to finding this out.  She was an enthusiastic Troy customer before and now you cannot even mention the Brad Pitt movie around here.
