    It aint a retro,but....

    It's got several USGI parts.It doesn't have a barrel,and I'm waiting on a BCG,but thought I'd show the progress.It will be close to what I had in mind,and if You squint really hard it could be a 70's model

    I like that "snub-nose" look.

    Coming along nicely Hump, wish I would have bought more retro parts when they were plentiful and cheap. I still want a Carbine

    She is done!I installed the barrel today and function tested with dummy rounds,but haven't fired yet.Barrel is a Del-Ton 20"lightweight 1-9 twist.

    Did you get the BCG from the link I gave you? Just curious to see what you thought of the quality if so.

    The rifle looks good!

    I have a few loaded,and a few boxes of bullets to try.I have a ton of empty brass that should last for a while,but thanks for the offer!I ran 50 rnds through it today and it functioned flawlessly,unlike the steel mag.The follower kept locking up inside the new aluminum worked withouta hitch.
