Put it on a lower with a Type D stock. I have used a C7 upper with an M4 barrel on a lower with a Type D and it is one sweet shooting gun. Like this? I'll be honest and say this is the direction I am leaning... <a href="http://http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/fastswift1/IMG_3187.jpg</a>] I see that and start channelling Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally. "Yes, yes, yes!" |

Exactly like that. The gun felt rock solid and pointed like a dream. Recoil was smooth, cheek weld was great, and the was accurate to boot. Also slung great with a GI sling. A GP style sling on a fixed stock carbine is better - trust me. I don't rave about much, but it's just so fast, so comfortable, you can hasty sling them, climb with them and great on transitions...and they are cheap. |

Also that configuration has the added benefit of easily making it a featureless gun out here in Ca with a grip fin. The muzzle device I had John pin is a EGW A2 style brake and CA legal for a featureless gun.
For you non CA people that don't know what a featureless gun is, please Google it as I can't bring myself to dirty these sacred retro pages with a picture

Looks perfect
Morg,, Mike NDS, and myself and others will testify as fixed stock carbine junkies. Back in 1983 I was building a SGW XM177 clone from parts; one piece at a time. But in those days you could not buy the SP1 carbine stock by itself. Colt would not sell them. I had a surplus fixed stock assy and just so I could handle the rifle I put it on just for fun. I thought it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. But man did it fit and feel right. No turning back after that. |

I don't get evangelical about very much, but the combination of a GP strap on a fixed stock carbine is one of those things that works better than the sum of its parts dictate it should. The only thing better would be a 607 stock - best of both worlds. |

I'm getting the idea that I should keep it with a fixed type D... Truth time. I have built AR's for myself and my son. Until recently my 17 YO daughter really has not shown an interest but she joined us on a desert trip and now wants a AR15 to join the S&W K frame .22 I gifted to her at birth. This will be her carbine. It will be equipted with a .22 CMMG bolt till she gets the hang of it. Next Saturday will be her second outing and the "gifting" Pictures to follow. My wife remains happy with her Sig P230 and Rem 870 in 20 Gauge. Things could be worse...

| Looking good Swifty. Not many who try a type D and GP sling on a carbine aren't gonna like it. All the internals are gonna like it also. Thanks DocMike. Unless possibly riding around in a hummer saving the world from themselves. I have 10 AR's. 7=type D with GP or M1 garand sling for rifles. 1-Colt aluminum with GP , 1- type E for match adding weight with 1903 and one lonely M-4 with GP that cried wee! wee! wee! all the way home. |
That's what I did... BTW, I love your Jeep! Every time you post a shot of it I enjoy it. I have not restored a car in a couple years and never an old military Jeep, but man that makes me want to. Something like that, I'd completely rebuild the underside and leave that body alone. It is just to cool!

Something like this perhaps? <a href="http://http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/fastswift1/IMG_3191.jpg</a>] Perfect. Very close to what I'm building right now (the carbine I mean...) I'm using a 603 upper though. Very nice! As always, I love the jeep. I think you ought to leave the 'experienced' finish an maybe just clear coat it like the Gas Monkey garage does sometimes.

Well...the Jeep may be going to a local retro forum member. Got enough on my hands with one starting college and the '66 Chevy...and repairs to the left front end of college bound females transportation

That is a nice upper Fast, I wanted a BHD carbine as well and I purchased all the parts for the same build, but then " just said no"... figured I would build a slick side 20" upper to go with the carbine upper. (Still haven't built that yet)
Quoted:
I remember seeing a picture of a fixed-stock triangle handguard middy carbine somewhere on the retro forum. Might have been Harlan from NoDak's. I think it had a set of JT's brown faux Bakelite stocks. Seriously drool-worthy rifle. Wasn't me with the brown handguards... But I love posting pics of mine 
PS, it now sports a GP sling

I'll let my daughter try it both ways and see what she likes best.
