Built with all factory Colt ACR parts. The final piece was the correct 5 slot trials upper that I picked up last week. All other parts are original including the manual and ammo.
The board is a 1:1 board that was hung at the factory and used for military trials and shows
I've been aware or the design for years, even had the fortune to see one in person, but never questioned the purpose of the vertical features on the handguards until now...

I mean they are out there but slim. Most of the prototype parts I get people don’t know what they are so that carry handle would be probably the way I find one.
Ok officially jealous!! Of all your toys this is my favorite. Missed out around Y2K when Dennis Todd was selling these kits and then again about 5 years ago when another cluster showed up on Gun Broken. Excellent job!!
"It just gets that much more exciting when it has a carry handle on it. Or tiger stripes. If you have both, then you have the John Wayne in the Green Berets size of a big win."
