Nodak lower Colt N stock and 2 position buffer tube Old style lock nut Colt LPK Still have to send the upper to Adco for barrel cutting, fsb pinning, pin/weld, and assembly *ETA not everything is going to be period correct. I am going for as close as possible, with as much Colt as possible |

Huh. Hermaphrodite. Like I said, i'm going more for the look, not for absolute accuracy. As much of a money pit as this thing is already, it would be a money bigfuckingholeintheground if I went for all accurate Colt parts |
