A very nice looking AR! |

New rail. FYI, Midwest Industries is having a pretty sweet FDE sale (plus there’s a 10% off coupon online). -Spikes lower -Spikes NIB battle trigger kit -SBA3 -RRA extended safety selector -Cerro Upper -10.5” barrel (can’t remember the make but it shoots 1/2MOA and is spot on to 500 yards with my 60% torso steel) -Aero Precison BCG -BCM charging handle -Midwest Keymod rail (IDAF if MLOK is cooler. Keymod is on sale and I hang stuff and leave it) -BCM Rail covers -American Defense 45* irons -Streamlight Protac Rail on an Arisaka I line mount -Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4 Firedot -Aero Ultralight Mount -PWS FSC556 (guaranteed to clear your sinuses.) Future: -going to add a universal blast deflector to go around the brake. -Might add a BCM KAG |

And I am going to post an updated imagery set of this one that has gone to become one of my favorite guns; inspired look by someone else back in this thread, it's a Colt upper to which I just added an original Colt full auto BCG from Chris at Shark Arms which I couldn't recommend more. Now the good thing for me is not so much that feature but the fact that it has a very light phosphate green gray color which happens to be my favorite flavor of Colt older stuff-phosphate kind of thing. That green-gray-black that is visually (to me) so desirable.
So here it is. Also, the SBA3 has been updated with an SBA3 Splitfix in black which I find works tremendously well. Colt Upper by SoloDallas, on Flickr Colt Upper by SoloDallas, on Flickr Colt Upper by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

That should keep me a point blank holdover out to about 175 yards with about 1" high at 100 yds to 2" low at 175. It's got a 9-1/2 BA barrel, Failsafe BCG, an X Products side charge upper, SLR adj gas block, Matrix handguard, std buffer and spring that comes with Phase 5 tube, and an A2 flash hider. Lower is an Anderson ( I know, y'all be jelous!) , Mega trigger with NibX hammer and disco and low power JP hammer spring, and a K2 grip. Also a Rock River Star safety selector. I love the way they feel. It groups really nice, no problem putting bullets where I want at 100 yards. Things that will still change; I want to try a Tubbs flatwire action spring and a T2 buffer. The phase 5 spring seems weak to me as far as closing bolt into battery. The recoil is a little snappier than I thought it would be so I want to try the T2 and fine tune the gas block again. I may put a 3X Prismatic on here and use the red dot on a 7" 9mm PDW upper I've built. Also, I am going to build a dedicated 9mm lower. I am going to put that MEGA trigger in the 9mm. It'll be perfect for the 9mm pdw. I think I will replace the 300 BLK trigger with a Larue or Geiselle two stage to give me a better long range precision. I do occasionally deer or pig hunt with this 300. I'll edit my picture in a minute to include the 9mm upper I have built. http://i63.tinypic.com/2e4bz84.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/28vdpno.jpg View Quote |

But I realize it's just not being able to have the original, Colt stock installed that bothers immensely. It's cerainly just a foolish 1st world problem (I know) but I'd really like to SBR some stuff and California will never let me. thanks! |

After looking, trying and doing, I settled down - for now at least - in lack of any other opportunity for these pistols. I wanted them to look as 'classic' and original as possible but the pistol factor, naturally, gets in the way. I was after two specific firearms here; "Cpt. Steele's rifle in Blackhawk Down" and one of the two "Heat" Commando rifles (will have to swap the sling as well in fact).
I ended up with two SBA3s. Split-fixed (that takes care of the velcro showing on its rough side, no wobble etc.) and by extending the brace all the way you keep the size of the brace a little further away from the rest of the body of the gun(s) which is, by definition, sort of smaller. In order to compensate - and I am strictly speaking of looks alone, though it works well with function, too - I swapped barrels, adding the A2 profile to the A2 upper (as seen later on in the years with 733's) and the .625" profile went on the C7 upper. I like the M4 hand guards on the lighter barrel profile because in fact they compensate for the look of fatness at the brace. The A2 barrel size instead does the compensation for the SBA3 size with the A2 upper so I could leave a skinny hand guard on. I think this works for me now - this is all I can do from here. One day... maybe. 733s by SoloDallas, on Flickr |
