Changing Retro AR

If you've followed any of this, you may have seen my "Retro" A1/A2 clone.


Here's a picture of it. A little hard to tell, but we have surplus A1 pistol grips, stock and triangle hand guards. The muzzle device is a new production three prong. The A2 portion comes in the fact that it is a current lower and an A2 upper. But throw on a 20 round magazine and most people are not going to notice the difference.


Wanting something a little bit more modern, I have decided to create a M16A4 clone just like the Marine Corps gave me.

Obviosuly, I'm not going to put a Trijicon or PEQ 15 on it. I don't have that crazy cash! But perhaps fake ones would be cool if I feel so inclined.

So step one. The Knight Armament M5 RAS Handguard. Look at it. It gorgous! Traditional and unlike the MLOK or Keymod stuff you only see now a days. But it is heavy as hell! A price tag of $276 is not cheap tho.

Luckily, I was able to find a seller online that has them surplus for about $110 shipped. I should be here in a few days so I'll be sure to update on the quality once I get it in so be sure to check back!
