Thank you . NWSharpshooter made my xm177 possible . I have not seen a complete kit in stock since I got that one from him. Pretty sure he had it made
Nice. All that stuff is gone man. Like old school Galil rifles. Poof ! Gone. I’ve ran that upper hard . Never a single issue . Good barrel.I actually made it. The upper was a 16" HBAR Bushmaster with A1 upper. I cut, crowned, and reprofiled the barrel to 10.5", opened up the gas port to spec and put it back together. I took it to @Nonliberal at Dobbs Defense, but he had me do the work with his guidance.
The A1 pistol grip came off am old surplus M16 and the stock was actually from some carbon abomination I bought just for the stock.
Wish I hadn't traded it off to you.
Woah. That Bakelite grip...
I shoulda bought that Upper from you

I went with the 602-603 Model retro,
Armalite lower (wish I could "afford" the Colt-Armalite lower), Colt complete A-1 upper w/20" pencil barrel, teardrop foreward assist and 3 pronged muzzle , Bakelite triangle fore grip, A-1 pistol grip, and A-1 butt stock (no trap door). Oh, and a Colt stamped Bayonet to boot.

There was one company making and A1 repro that looked pretty accurate, always wanted one.
