Clones

[JEVapa]

I like clone guns. Some people don’t but that’s cool. I got into building a rifle like I had when I was in and kinda got hooked on the various M16/CAR15 rifles used by the military, mainly SOF.

Here’s an XM177 I built awhile back. Thankful PSA bought NDS and has them going full tilt or I’d have no proper lowers

I gotta get my buddy in here, he builds clones all day. Sweet rifle!

That’s pretty sweet. I would like to build an M16A4 with a TA31 RCO. Although, I don’t know that I would care so much about the lower being brand correct, I would rather get one that has my rifle’s number on it. I still remember it, and wouldnt mind having a rifle sharing the same number.

I’ll need to find another helicopter flight suit too. Comfiest shit I wore in the military, aside from my grid fleece top and bottoms.

That's a slick little rifle. I put together a similar gun from an H&R lower and an old Colt upper. Not really a clone of a particular model and there are some modern upgrades...like the 6-position tube. I can't remember where I got the aluminum stock from but it's pretty nice. The scope is the Brownell's retro Colt model. Really nice shooting rifle with 55gr bullets.

Back when the gun grabbers were out to get Bushmaster after some shooting, I bought one of their Dissipators. I've read about their origin and how Colt came to create the original 605 that the Bushmaster was modeled after. I don't know how widely they were used in the service, but it seemed to be pretty limited. I think it's a cool rifle, but not one I shoot very often.
