Ok, here it is my first build, finished last night.
Del-Ton M4 barrel kit
LAR upper and lower
Parts from all over the internet and the EE.
Total cost about $550
All new except for the bolt carrier.
I have already shot the upper.  Am looking forward to shooting it as a compete rifle.

This is my first pic posting.  Hope it comes out right.
Wow, I've always been pretty handy and this was very simple, but I'm proud of myself.

Looks great. And for $550 you can't beat it!

Nice work.

It looks excellent!  How much does it weigh?  There's something about a simple A2 carbine that I really like.  Might have to build one some day.  MJD

I'm not sure what it weighs.  But, it's quite a difference compared to my full sizw 20".  I'll have to find a good scale and see.
I like open sights, and the simplicity of the A2.

Life is good.

Really nice build and I envy your ability to find deals.  It is really too bad that Armalite did not start with a 16 inch barrel instead of the 20 inch.  Then we would have ammo that would function and perform from the 16 inch gun, which is far easier to work with.  The AR just looks so right with a 16 inch tube and coll stock.

If only someone would give us a AUG type upper with a low power (1.5 to 2.0) optical sight already built into the carry handle.

Nice job, will be waiting for the range report.  Too bad you didn't work for the government, you might be able to do something about the deficit.

Well, I do work for a local government.  And I am trying to do something about our deficit.

Nice!
So when's the next one due? You know you can't stop at one, right? It's an ar15.com pledge, by-law, or something like that.
