Cool deal on the pics and info Rayman1. I see one of the differences between type 1 and 2 is where the sling gets attached. Type 2 is by the gas port and type 1 is the handguards. Any other differences between the two?

Basically, a lot is different with a Type I - different buttstock, handguards, gas tube, gas block, front sight base, top cover, pistol grip, piston, selector lever,... Well, a bunch. |
