Planning a ‘Blood Diamond’ clone:

Upper came in yesterday from the EE.
Need to get a grip, safety, 607 Moderator replica, and fab a sling.
I have a plan for a budget 660 light, just need to get a couple more pieces for that.

Here’s where I’m at:

With a 4x20 scope for shits and giggles.

What barrel is that?

Kind of the gun from Heat.

Damn Sweet!  Brings back lots of memories.

Dissipator style gun. PSA barrel on a Colt upper. Lower is a PSA M4A1, but I will rebuild it with my early Bushmaster lower if I can ever find the thing. Fun blaster for sure.

Added a 6520 upper to the group

XM4 Build using a CMMG 14.7 P&W barrel.

Here is my NJ-neutered A2 rifle ...

- RRA A2 upper
- Windham Weaponry ban-compliant barrel (no bayonet lug and pinned/welded birdcage muzzle break)
- Windham BCG
- Windham A2 stock and handguard
- Savage MSR-15 lower with BCM LPK and PNT Trigger
- Stoner A2 grip

I have a green cloth sling and a specter gear 2-point patrol sling for it.

Can't wait to get out and shoot it!

I like full-stocked carbines. A2 upper on a P&W Colt M4 bbl. Palmetto U.S. Property-marked M16A2 lower.

A thing of beauty that's for damn sure!

Which PA optic is that? I have a middy I want to add the 3x to the carry handle, just want to know how it works out.

That one looks like the 1x

3x

How is it on a carry handle?

It’s the 1x, I used an acog carry handle screw.

Appreciate it. It’s become my current favorite. I originally had it setup with a flat top and an acog, but it seems to “normal” lol.

Blood Diamond carbine got some paint today.  Still need to get a red dot on it and sling.
New carbine build just finished this past week.
This one will get a Aimpoint 2000 that I have.

Those look good!   I've never been able (brave enough) to paint any of my rifles even though I really want to!  I keep hoping to end up with a beater that I'm willing to experiment with...but every time I think I've got one just about built, someone wants to buy it from me...
Also...pic thread...my recent finished build that happened in this thread, and my "Heat" clone being shot by my Grandson this last weekend in Southern Utah.  Both of these have gone with me every time the last few times out...they are super fun to shoot.  Grandson shot both then asked if he could shoot the "little" one again...

It's been a long time since I posted here.  I hope this is the right place for this post.

It's a Bushmaster XM15-E2S

About 3 weeks ago I was watching Newsmax and they cut to the current POTUS making a speech.  In his speech he started talking about the executive orders he's been pushing through, and mentioned he was going to do everything in his power., including executive orders, to reinstate the 94 awb, I'm sure it's been discussed at length somewhere in this forum.

I went into the living room and my wife was watching it too.  I told her if we were going to make sure our youngest son had an AR we should probably do it now.  We had plans to get him one when he turned 18, our oldest son already has his, she replied "hurry back".  So off I went to the nearest gun store to my house with the plan to just grab an AR that I was familiar with being good quality. I fully expected to see the guy in there marking all the AR's up, but he wasn't.

When I got there I saw a lot of very affordable rifles, most of them I didn't recognize the manufacturer.  But on the end of the row there was a Bushmaster, I've always wanted a Bushmaster for myself but never got one.  After haggling with the guy a little a settling on a price I ended up purchasing it, it was on consignment .  Little did I know until afterwards when he brought the case out that it came with 3/30rd Bushmaster mags, the original paperwork including the sight in target and the original hard case. The mags have green followers, I'm assuming those are aftermarket?

The rifle has very minor signs of being fired, couldn't be more than 100 rds.

I don't know much about these rifle's, I'm confident it's a quality rifle.  Could someone more knowledgeable give me an idea on the quality, maybe some info on the parts and maybe a value of this rifle.  I have no intention of selling it, or any other firearm I own but I would like to know if I got hosed or not.  Even if I did I'm happy with the rifle and I'm sure my son will be too this afternoon when he gets home from school and we give it to him. My limited research shows it was manufactured in the Windham, ME plant between 2006 and 2011.

After about 30 minutes of trying to figure out how to add photos I gave up, and just uploaded them to my website, they can be viewed here:  Coop's AR

Carry handle Bushmasters seem to be selling for around $700 on Gunbroker.

Where are you seeing them for $700?  Everything I'm finding on GB is $800+.

Some have sold for more, some for less.
$700 seems about the middle ground on sold listings.

$1099
$705
$700
$600
$555
$418

When I buy off Gunbroker, it costs me another $50 to $100 In shipping, tax and transfer fees.

Had to go check zero on some hunting rifles today at the range, so I took the M16A2 out and shot a 20 round mag thru it @ 100 yards.  My eyes aren't what they used to be, but I still managed all 20 rounds within 6 inches @ 100.
Fun gun to shoot. Likely the smoothest shooting AR that I own.  I RIBZ'd this a while back, and the 100 yard setting was still exactly on.

Man I love an A2!

This baby sings!

Such a handy carbine, Colt socom barrel.

With good eyes this beauty will do anything you want within reason.

I agree!  Even though I've got older eyes, I've been getting back into the iron sights lately...they still work, and are surprisingly accurate!

Need another fix stock

What is that





Slowly gathering parts for build number 3

So far Attached File

Started as a Blood Diamond clone build, but decided to go a different way.
Colt M4 lower (SBR), 6520 upper w/10.3" M4CQB barrel
Surefire Blast Warden, Micro Scout WML, PA GLx 2x micro prism

PSA M16A2 lower, Bushy upper. Barrel, hand guards, BCG, grip, stock, and LPK salvaged from Colt. Build started because I had the unpurposed A2 upper.
