I’ve been looking for a 10.5” or 11.5” A2 upper for a while and this one popped up Sunday night and was still available Monday morning, so I jumped on it. |

Everything posted above is factual. Maybe.

It's not all that bad. Pretty similar to a piggy backed ACOG.
I hate it a lot less than I did back when everyone thought carry handles were gay and it was the only option other than getting a different rifle. |

Might I interest you in a 56 page thread on the subject
going for a 1993 Somalia car15 build and need your help |

What's the source now for a USGI carry handle rail? I'm seeing lots of chinesium online.

Definitely use a cheap light mount as they are thinner and will fit under the gas block. The real Surefire M14 mount is too thick unless used on an pencil barrel. The movie prop was a cut down M16A2. I used the top clamp section of a cheap barrel mount and the bottom weaver section of a real Surefire M14 on mine to get more clearance so the light could actually fit next to the handguard. I’m still trying to source a weaver ARMS rail and Aimpoint Comp M for mine. I had a Comp M2 on it, but my OCD got the best of me. Retro Rifles also has a longer 607 type moderator, but their turn around time is slow. Hope this helps.

The 3.5” 607 model is the one I’ll probably run with. I want to use parts that are true to reality and not necessarily “movie correct.” So, I suppose it wouldn’t be clone correct, just bad ass. |

Where does a guy find a Colt fixed carry handle upper with M4 feed ramps that works with a 6933 front sight post?
What rifle if any do I part out? |

View Quote File .040” off your sight post, or just crank it down a little more. Or buy a shorter sight post for it, Retrorifles has them for the ‘F’ base. The other option send it into ADCO or someone and have an A2 sight base installed on the barrel. ETA: I do the shorter sight posts, I’ll need another. I’m all out. |

Some really nice builds guys, thanks for sharing.
Found some eBay barrel mounts w/ring, $9. Better to hack on of those than the real steal. |
