[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Clone Of My Issue Rifle

Posted: 6/22/2016 1:04:17 AM EDT

Actually the M16A2 of the rifle issued to the tank. I still have the arms room issue card from when I was the loader, so I had the serial number...

The wife contracted (using me as a go-between) with Braceman as a Father's Day Gift to have it engraved with the CAD drawing I'd been playing with.

I changed the Colt logo to My Little Pony JUST to shut up people who were worried it'd be confused for the actual Army rifle.

It's an 80% lower build, which I carved out on Sunday.

I still have to get it anodized, but it's assembled enough to go shooting if I wanted to.

I hope those 80%ers are as easy to finish as you guys make it appear to be!

I'm probably about to outmyself here but is that "Steel Hooves" haha.

Anywho nice build I like it a lot. I started out on A2s for about 5 years before my unit got A4s in the Armory. I'm pulling parts together to build up an A2 just because of that reason.

Cute. Very cute. I used to know this little girl that would walk around saying "Pink-a-PIe" a lot. It's hard to forget how she said it and how much she said it. LOL.

I built a clone of my service rifle from my days as a young Private in the early 90's with the 82nd Airborne. It is built on a Sherwood Armory LLC 80% commemorative lower. The only difference is the anti-rotation pins for the trigger and hammer pin holes. Just cheap insurance to keep the holes from egging out since the holes aren't anodized.
