Quoted:Quoted:My thoughts are this started with DD and Noveske...now Colt?
I think you need to go back in the original direction.

It wasn't stated in the OP that he wanted to do a clone. Now that he said he would, in fact, like to do an actual clone, the Colt option is the closest to that goal.

The more I do research on this the more I am learning…
As I said, a complete Noveske rifle is out…they no longer have those in the catalog and will not make one…of course I could always get the parts separately, but that would take me forever.
Also, after looking at several DD rifles, I don't think I could live with the laser engraving on the upper, although I do like their fit and finish.
As it stand now, I am leaning towards just getting a Colt Socom and sending the upper off to Adco to either have the barrel chopped to 10.3" or install some other barrel that is the correct size.
