Nice rig, but why the M4 stock and A2 pistola grip? |

Cause my 607 lower isnt anodized or SBR'ed and that lower was GOING to be for an M4 build but I havent made any progress on that. Here's a couple pics of the 607 lower. It may look familiar

Yep. Looked like a STEAL to me. What made you hesitate on the upper? Or did you mean you werent sure about the barrel? |

Yeah, the barrel. He said some things were dinged up and it looked like it was used more than 600 rounds as he claimed. But, that's all hard to tell by just looking at a pic. |

So far I think I'm getting: Stripped no-forge-code Colt M16A1 upper Teardrop FA M16A1 port door assy. Flat slip ring Round front sight post Also contacted 45Bravo about doing some modifications to the fake XM moderator I have. BRD is back from it's break I had during the Krink foray

Really, now, Blanco, but you're getting almost as bad as I am. Except, at least you want all different things.

Well, right now, I'm not doing anything til after I finish my AKS74U, which is going to be sent to the builder on Monday. Gonna take 3-4 weeks to get done. After that, I'm not entirely sure. I kinda want to do a full-size AK74, but I also want to start on my XM177E1, finish my M4, and finish my 607. Also considering a suppressor for my AKS74U...but I dunno. So far, my stamp collection is up to 2. ETA: Pic  ETA 2: I think my next project is gonna be finishing my 607. I keep getting jealous of all these people with cool 607s and mine isnt even together. After I pay for the AKS74U building, I think I'm gonna send my lower off to anodizing. Now to figure out how to get my 607 stock off the lower...

Here is my newest (2nd ever) build. I decided I wanted to build an XM177E2, so I decided to save (Im in college, lots of saving!) Things to excuse: the two tone rifle...upper and lower dont match, can't afford to get it refinished YET!, the 16 inch barrel (couldn't afford the tax stamp at the time), the bayonet lug, and my bed and mattress..
Original A1 upper Del Ton 16in HB Slip over flash hider NoDak Spud Retro A1 lower Essential Arms aluminum stock Original pistol grip repro CAR handguards Also pictured is my 68 dated Tropical Rucksack stuffed with PRC25, poncho and liner, sleep shirt, 3 LRRP Rations, and various other gear to make it really heavy while on patrol...

I think that looks sweet! I like the mottled grip. I have one just like it. My E2 "approximation" started out a lot like yours (bayo lug, reverse hider). The bayo lug is easy enough to remove yourself with a Dremel and some finish sanding. Then, when you can afford it, just have someone do the barrel work and you're really close.  |

You'll be real happy once you get the E2 the way you want it.
 But it's even better if it's SBR'ed   Kinda miss that upper..but I got a sweet deal outta it ETA: I should have another "retro" shorty in about 2 weeks. But I must warn ya'll that it's not what's normally posted in this thread

You know, one thing that really surprised me with my E2 is how extremely balanced it is. It stands flagpole straight when I set the stock on a smooth floor. That "floored" me. Tag for pic. |

It's funny you should say that, This whole build started with the repro M231 style stock. It reminded me of a grease gun stock, so I decided to build a 45ACP AR around it  .I may swap out the stock at some point, but I like it how it is for now. |

Well Blanco_Diablo you convinced me to try the stock from my XM177 clone. I like it a lot, now I need to find another stock. Does anyone have one they want to part with?

Thanks, the upper is a 604 that I started to convert to a 601 once. It doesn't have the port door spring hole, and it still has flash inside the carry handle. Parts is parts.

I'm going to be doing that soon (after I get another NDS-2SF receiver for my AK105).Honestly, I'd pic the Krinkov. I have it sighted in dead-on, it has a folding stock, and I know I can put over 1000 rounds at a time through it and it'll still run without a hiccup. I LOVE my ARs but it's hard to beat the reliability of that Krink. I've already had it rust on me because of the corrosive ammo and I just steel-brushed it off and oiled it and it's still fine. Move to a free state! |

I would love to move to a free state but some current circumstances prevent that for at least the next few years. Besides, I am helping my fellow IL brethren fight the good fight- despite our Chicago overlords trying to prevent us from having guns every year we have 87 counties that have legislation in the works for CCW. I am needed here to help with our grassroots gun rights fight. Maybe some day we'll have our rights back, and being able to have a legal SBR in Illinois would be the sweetest hard-fought victory of all.
I have an Krink with the pinned fake can and absolutely love it, even with the aluminum out front it is still very light and handy. And I knew what you were going to say before I asked the question, but I had to ask anyhow. Anyhow, back to the shortys!!! |

Pics to make the bump less bump like.
My sad accumulation of parts. 
Vintage 604 upper, I might get an A1 upper from NoDak or get one of their 604 uppers since the rest of the thing is going to be brand new. The LPK is in the pill bottle. I'm waiting on Bushmaster to ship the barrel so I can ship it to 45Bravo to be shortened. I am waiting on my buddy who makes CNC machines to give me a time to get the lower engraved. I am waiting on ME to put the Form 1 in the mail, which is waiting on ME getting a bank account set up in my trust's name the bank sending me checks imprinted with the trust's name. Soon I will be waiting on ATF itself. |

Anyhow, back to the shortys!!! I've thought about a a pinned fake suppressor myself a time or two so I could build some of these cool little rifles. Maybe with the recent political developments here in the Republik of Illinois things might change for the better (can they really get much worse?) Maybe if we can get rid of the corrupt Chicago Political Machine running this state into the ground things will change. Of course, now we have part of this Chicago Elite moving into the Whitehouse. Sorry, political rant over. Doc |

I never really intended to keep it that way. The DOE is now back in its box, and the rifle now wears its original late 70's M16A1 603 upper, and A1 trap door stock. |

We're making progress.!
Got my trust information engraved. 0.010" tall letters, 0.0095" deep. ATF wants a minimum of 0.0625" tall and 0.003" deep, so I should be good. Someday I will manage to catch EA when they can answer the phone and get an aluminum stock to replace the plastic one I got from Model A. The assembled upper is my wife's, we were wondering what the weight might be when I was done. This thing is going to be LIGHT! Another side benefit of putting that upper on now is that this is my date stamped proof this lower is in a AWB configuration before the effective date of the new AWB, should they attempt to do it again. |
