Guess this is a CAR-15 thread now.
First time I saw one was in Heat. Hanna’s gun didn’t even register to me. I was in love with those bank robbers guns.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does anyone make aluminum CAR stocks anymore? Tony’s does, I believe, though his aren’t vinyl coated last I checked. The best reproduction ones were from Vaughan at Essential Arms in LA, but sadly he has retired and closed up. However, I think someone bought the plans/tooling for those stocks, so we may see them return. |

I’m almost embarrassed to say this, but I’ve given away all but one of my .mil appropriated 30rd aluminum mags.
Where does one buy 9+ of them at this point at not rape you in the ass prices...if such a thing exists. |

Here's another optics mounting option for those looking.
 https://www.dnzproducts.com/product/freedom-reaper/ I tried it way back. Admittedly on an airsoft gun. But it held up without issue through a few outings in the woods. They offer them with a variety of ring sizes and mounting options. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you have any experience doing business with them? Does anyone else? They have two that are essential what I am wanting to build, assuming they are GTG may as well just buy rather than searching all over for unobtanium parts. https://www.tntesales.com/c7-11-5-commando-lite-hammer-forged-upper/ https://www.tntesales.com/c7-733-11-5-commando-hammer-forged-upper/ I don't really have any interest in clones. More just looking for an A1 based KISS pistol. Of the two uppers linked, the "lite" one would be correct for the 733, based on it having the thinner barrel profile, right? Their A2 Blood Diamond upper is a couple hundred cheaper, but I figure if I'm gonna do it I may as well go as correct as possible with the lighter barrel profile and A1 upper. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It is cool, yet I cannot overstate how much I hate optics mounted to carry handles. I tried an Aimpoint on my XM177 clone and it destroyed the best things about the gun. It's light weight and natural pointing/ease of aim. It's perfect without the optic on it. |

If I can ever find a C7 upper, my plan was to to add an RMR type 2 using a Trijicon RMR carry handle mount to keep the weight down. Way lighter than an Aimpoint full size. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fixed carry handle carbines are light and handy. You know, in the last few days something snapped in my mind, and my two "go to" carbines suddenly found themselves with iron sighted carry handles once again. No optics. No fancy rails. No aftermarket NUTHIN'. Even the flashlight is mounted on a quick-detach Kerm-Lock clamp. I learned that the large peep sight works just fine at night with a flashlight. Why the fuck did I spend all that money on fancy optics for home defense? I'll probably mount a Vortex Crossfire red dot to a carry handle mounted rail just to stay in practice with optics, but I'm going KISS.  Attached File Attached File |

Guess I’ll post this.
I’ve been collecting these parts for years and finally have everything that I need to assemble it. I mocked everything up last fall and still haven’t actually assembled it. I’m honestly thinking I’ll just sell the barrel and buy something else, as the pinned A2X won’t allow me to mount a suppressor.

Their A2 Blood Diamond upper is a couple hundred cheaper, but I figure if I'm gonna do it I may as well go as correct as possible with the lighter barrel profile and A1 upper. Both barrel profiles were used on the 733, IIRC. Both the C7 and A2 style uppers were used as well. Early ones could have A1 lowers or the aluminum 2nd gen. stock with 2-position buffer tube. Most used the 3rd gen. plastic stock. The gun in the movie has an A2 upper, A1 lower, aluminum stock, 2-position tube, and a barrel that doesn't correspond to a real profile, as it is a cut down 20" barrel; from the GBJ forward it seems intermediate between Government and pencil profile (I'd go with pencil were I to do a clone build). |
