Some new photos, and a couple of changes/additions:

I went ahead and installed the Gen. 1 RediMag to the rifle, not sure if I'll keep it, but it does, in my opinion, add to the "look" of these rifles:

The anodizing of the upper, though it generally looks gray in person, is showing up as a nice plum, not sure why, but the difference between the upper and lower are not quite as drastic to the naked eye.  





I also added the Uncle Mike's 1 1/4" Tri-lock QD swivel and installed a padded machine gun (M60) sling:

A better look at the Lonestar Ordnance "Stow-Away" A2 grip:

A good shot of the FSB pocket - you can see the grain of the fiberglass as well, and the attached rail section - I considered replacing the G2 with a 660 Classic, but I'm not sure how long that particular VTAC mount will remain anyhow, as I'm considering trying to figure out a way to direct mount the light to the tube or fabricate a KAC-style A2 VFG with the light mount ring, and re-locate the rail section to the 12 o'clock behind the FSB.  While I cannot afford a real AN/PEQ-2A, I do have an airsoft replica AN/PEQ-2A that I purchased for display on my first ever clone rifle - a clone of the rifle that I was "privileged" to carry on my first little "study abroad."  It's actually a pretty good copy with a red laser and LED flashlight where the IR components should be, but it is pretty much the exact same size and weight as the real article.  Needless to say, I never use it to shoot with, but it does look good on top of my "commemorative" M4 clone when I place it on display with the rest of my little doo-dads from far away places.  



On the edges of the FSB pocket, you can also see damage from installing and removing the gas tube roll pin - almost all those marks were already there when I got the rail.  Almost.

Finally, you can see the holes, once again, with tool mark damage - to which I tried to add as little as possible in my own installation, for the FSB taper pins which you can just barely see the front pin through the hole - these holes are mirrored on both sides, allowing for both installation and removal.

The only things left remaining to acquire or fabricate, at least until I locate a KAC MRE are:



- an old KAC style VFG with the integral light ring

- a "CAR-15" style "sawtooth" buttpad

- EOTech 551 or 511

- mash an ALICE pack strap to the M60 sling for "more VTAC action"

That is a very cool gun.
Very unique clone, bet not many of those around!!
If I see a 551 for sale I will send you a hotlink to it.
You should start a JSOC clone thread!!
I got a few for when that thread is made.
