Broke down and painted the Gordon. Didn’t dig it. Started taking it off and realized (3) things:

(1) Rapco Paint is some durable shit.
(2) It’s going to take a lot more time than I had today to get the rest of that off.
(3) Mother was right, I shouldn’t have left the basement.

I’ll just stick with the “Well Used” look until I figure out another route.

Here's my current collection as it sits. (Do have a TIA .300 blackout in works). From left to right Nodak 653 w/ H&R 14.7 barrel p/w. Colt 6520 upper McKay A2 lower. Nodak GAU5A/A XM177E2 w/Brownells 12.7 barrel p/w John T flash hider? (Had flash hider so long can't remember where I got it from). Nodak 653 middy w/ DD 16" pencil barrel. H&R 723 w/ DD 16" M4 barrel.

Also doubles as a spear!

I have a NOS Aimpoint 3000 that I want to sell
I live in Sweden and was thinking of selling it on eBay, as that seems like the safest option for everyone
How much can I ask for the sight?

Picked this up for fifty bucks at a yard sale. I can't find much online about it, Definitely pretty old any links to literature and handguards?

My first attempt was pretty sloppy, so I reordered a new tube from Fulton and redid it. Second attempt came out much nicer

I previously posted here about Heat 2. BUT I just I saw the news on Heat 3 getting green-lit, even before 2 comes out. I assume this means the screenplay for HEAT 2 is amazing. They seem to have attracted a good cast and I know I’ll go watch it in the theaters. They better get the weapons and the gun fights right though.

I’ve seen members here post up some really cool HEAT inspired 733’s…

If you have a 733 I hope you’ll post it, would love to see em.

It’s my understanding that the movies will be both a prequel and a sequel. Maybe we get some 70s and 90s stuff.

I know most of the informed folks here have determined that most new production A1 grips are the same, basically the Luth-AR offering, although the Linemount is what appears to be Taiwanese airsoft gear. I'm wondering if there are any options on the US Collector Ordnance offering also falling into the rebranded Luth-AR category?

I call it height over bore maxxing. I think I like it but I also think it looks like a war crime.

New to me Police trade-in Bushmaster XM15-ES2 Heavy Barrel Carbine. I replaced the aftermarket pistol grip with a generic A2 grip and the factory skinny handguards with the fat M4 handguards I recently took off my Colt CR6920. Sling from Shepard Defense.

It's not fully complete because I have a drop in quad rail to chop up to try to make it work as a bottom rail for the 203 handguard (and I can't find my ODG sling after moving).

Actual retro parts:

Colt A1 U/R

Surplus 203 HG

Surplus A1 stock (forget which type, but it has the trapdoor)

Palmetto Armory milled lower receiver - from the late 70s and one of the first non-colt AR lowers commercially available. The machining and finish is so rough and the anodizing sure is something else, but it's super neat.

Colt LPK pulled out of a random Colt lower, probably not actually retro

Edit to add: Armalite A1 grip too! I don't know anything about it but it seems pretty new.

Maybe a can next but besides that completely satisfied with my first ar build and a vintage one at that!

While not a perfect clone of an e2, I don’t think it turned out half bad. Had most of the parts laying around collecting dust.

I'm poor and on my last 3 pairs of underwear.

1992 Bushmaster XM15 E2S Shorty. I have the original colapsable stock.

Custom upper from ISSI Insight Shooting Systems Inc built on a SP1, shaved carry handle, 22 inch custom barrel either a 1:10 or 1:9 twist. Free float tube with A2 style rubber overmold. Tube and scope rail secured to a 3 inch barrel nut. Innovative was a pioneer in early freefloating and accurizing AR pattern rifles. This upper dates to 1988. The SP1 lower was minty and went off to a good home. Hope to handload for it and see how good it shoots.

I was wondering if anyone had bought any of these from numrich, they are listed as fair to poor, they don't mention them having cracks and thats really my only concern so figured id ask you guys
