I'm not going to say more about it yet because I don't want to jinx myself, and I have a lot of work ahead of me getting stuff ready on my end, and watching the clock ticking waiting for my waiting list number to come up, but so far so good.
I just wanted to get a topic started in the meantime, even though this project may take a few months to complete, but will be worth it to me when all is said and done. I usually don't get "this" excited about major projects, but I can hardly contain myself this time around.
I put it in the long gun section, though, it doesn't exactly fall into that category from my viewpoint, but was more appropriate than any other subforum.
I already had some of the parts I needed in the spare parts drawer, but with a considerable amount of effort was able to track down the other parts I need, which considering how volatile the market is right now was no small task in itself. Especially since I refused to pay scalper prices and got these at pre-December prices. The only part that I am waiting to get here is the cam pin, but it is somewhere between here and RanierARms in Washington State.
Parts list:
Old school Colt nonserrated M16 carrier
Oly Arms complete bolt and firing pin and firing pin retaining pin
YHM Phantom and crush washer
DPMS 1:9 Chrome lined 5.56 heavy barrel assembly with M4 barrel extension
Troy Ambi mag release
Power Custom extended mag release button and spring
Magpul MBUS set
Grip Pod hand grip
Magpul M93 Det. 1 buttstock, recoil spring, buffer and U.S.M.G. brand stock adapter (not shown)
Offset Aluminum 1" light mount, Surefire G2 (not shown)
