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...

So, what do they do, heat dissipation?

That acts like a shotgun rib for quick wire acquisition

What is the barrel profile? Is it similar to the LMG/LSW?

No it is standard govt profile under the hand-guard and then machined down and has a cover over the barrel near the muzzle after the fsb. Supposedly to reduce recoil

What would be the odds of finding the carry handle?

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."

Gorgeous! Any reason the MBC sleeve is backwards? Good to know that it's reversible :P

Why'd you go with an A1 lower receiver?  Shouldn't an ACR have an A2 lower, specifically the Martin Marietta forging?

Absolutely gorgeous! Do you have the proprietary carry handle as well?


Edit: I didn't read all the replies at first, already answered above.
