Quoted: They don't even pass the 5 yard test. You can build a better clone for less money. View Quote Other than the slightly longer barrel, and the lack of Colt roll marks, they look pretty damn close to me. <shrug> I have a 653 clone that I'm planning to convert to an XM177E2; will be my first SBR. |

Can anyone recommend a sling that's similar to this with the para cord mounts? View Quote The sling comes from the one used on the two quart canteen. To cut down on rattle, GIs would cut off the metal snaps that connected to the canteen cover and replaced them with para cord. The 2-quart canteen is still in the inventory, only nowadays, they come in olive drab and FDE. |

The quality of the Troy goods I have owned was fine but did not justify the price tag. I'll wait for Colt or build one.
