You've already seen my last two builds in another thread, but here they are again:

Love the style man! I get tired of seeing the same thing all day

-KAC SR15 SBR Lower Receiver.
-C7/A1 Luth Upper Receiver, Gray.
-NOS Colt C MP 14.5" Socom 10/07.
*Fired it for the first time on Monday,
this barrel is a laser for sure.

Nice man, that an A1 or A2?

Here's my A2.

 

[azbrbas]

Looks great, always wanted to do a wood furniture set on a 20". Mine is running the A1 upper, but its the shell deflector and forward assist Canadian C7 style. Was going to get the clone correct colt government profile barrel but really enjoy the socom profiles and had a brand new one in bag with wick still. Figured the fat barrel is under the hand guards anyways so no one will know! I'll post a few close ups shortly.

 

[Joe Link]

My first "nice" AR was a Colt SOCOM upper on an LMT lower. Wish I still had that gun.

 

[azbrbas]

Thats awesome! I see the barrels showing up on various sites every now and again, usually cage coded, but might be worth snagging one. Colt sure knows how to put out a quality chrome lined barrel.

More photos, correct length selector switch and I also changed out the A1 sight aperture to the A2 style aperture. A lot easier for the targets at less than 100 yards. Just need to track down an N1 Stock.

… … correct-length selector switch … ...

I was unaware there are selectors of multiple lengths. I have seen arms on ambidextrous switches that are short on the right side of the wheppin, but these are aftermarket pieces. I've never seen a short one that looks like an OEM switch on the left side. I like the sculpted aftermarket grips. The problem with those is that the right side is rarely ever formed to allow for a long selector arm. Why do the makers of firearms parts never consider the lefthanded shooter?

Thanks man, I really like it. It wasn't cheap, I think I have just under $1k into it, but as a huge Fallout fan I had to have it. It's the first 20" A2 I've shot and it's a pleasure

Looking at the length of the barrel on an AR carbine, I can only wish that fourteen inches had been "long enough" for the intellectual flyspecks who wrote NFA 1934. Still, we should be happy that they didn't decide to go even longer. The minimum length for an AR barrel in Germany is 18¾ inches. If you think sixteen inches looks kind o' dopey, imagine something like that sticking out past your gas block.

Is the barrel shown of 14½" in length?

 

[azbrbas]

Man, if the minimum was 18.75 inches, I'd skip the carbines all together and just build A2 rifle lengths. Smooth shooting, faster muzzle velocity, storage compartment in the stock, only downside is its musket-like dimensions. Also, you are correct, thats a 14.5" on the A1 Carbine. Here is a couple pictures of the FNMI 20" A2 I recently put together. Plain Jane, no BS A2.

 

[azbrbas]

And then there is the A4 clone. A personal favorite.

 

[azbrbas]

Can't forget the 11.5". This one has the Colt FBI socom profile barrel. Had previously only built 10.3/10.5" , 14.5" and 20" length rifles, but this one opened up a whole new category of barrel lengths for me.

Thanks. My first AR-15 is a Diamondback DB15 that is all black. I do like it, but I decided that I wanted to do some themed/colored rifles. I actually like all four of them that I have built. The Snowflake 6.5 Grendel is the one that shoots the smoothest.

Nice! I have an 11.5" pistol with a brace which is probably my favorite AR. Such a versatile size!

 

[azbrbas]

Yeah the 11.5" have the best balance of all the uppers I have handled. If you don't mind me asking, which brace are your running? Before I did the form 1, I was running the sba3 and loved it.

The closest pic I have of my AR's right after they fell into the lake.....

… … right after they fell into the lake.....

Same thing happened to mine-- and right over the deepest part, too! I cried a million tears...
