That is "Retro's" very own WATom. GTG |

He means that you need to have your own front sight post/spring/plunger.
The hole should be .625, so you could pin it to whatever barrel you want so long as it's got the right diameter. However, it's designed for 9mm, so there's no gas port/tube hole. If you were putting this on a .223 build, you'd have to either pin this in front of some other gas return block, or drill this out for it. |

Quoted:
what does he mean by: completing the front sight? are these 9mm only? He means that the sight and the parkerizing are the only things he has left to do, before they are ready. Yes, they are only 9mm. Just spoke with him, and he said it will come fully finished and assembled...ready to be attached to your upper. |

Quoted:
Are DOE hand guards the same length or shorter the regular carbine hand guards? They are shorter - I might be able to get a comparison picture up in a little bit. Member CSMW a while back made an SBR with DOE/M231 handguards and a standard handguard cap and FSB, I think the barrel had to be around 8" for that.

i have wanted one of these for a long time, but the parts were so over the top expensive it put me off
guess who has 2 extra lowers and wants to do this. hells yes. i am going to do it in a pistol version. i might sbr, but i have been moving around lately and its hard to wait for a tax stamp and i might not be living there. |

Nodak has 604 Uppers
Rock River has 9mm Case Deflectors Only difference between that setup and a Colt 9mm upper is a gas tube hole and the lack of colt proofs. |

I hope it gets here soon. Pistol for now, SBR later. You saved me some coin. I was watching that one decrease in price and my self control failed me about not before you got it. I have no need for a DOE build but really really want one, or two at twice the price the barrels will be going for.

I got to looking at the 177E2 project I had going and figured I already have a retro 16" carbine and didnt need a second when it'd be cooler to have the DOE.
