SLR 8" SBR build done. Just waiting for a few accessories (sling end plate, AAC Blast Shield, Cloud Defensive LCS, and an actual working ScoutLight head) and repairing my BTC Spectre, but otherwise al

Hey all! I kind of stumbled upon this thread by accident while searching for M16A2 receiver markings on google and saw one of Catgut's amazing VT's. Which brought me here I have been working on

One of my latest build, a real Colt M16A1 converted for GBBR on the WA system. Stripped upper, barrel and BCG was changed to Viper Tech du to my local laws. Also a video of how it was made:

I like the KAC mount because its QD whereas its original mount isn't although to be fair the original probably suits it more.

I've seen the Bobro mount but its far too expensive for me and I've no idea if it would even fit my rep or not so I don't really want to import one only to find it doesn't.

 

Optics aren't an issue though as I have bazillions but usually run an elcan spectre anyway.

I think that stubby setup quite suite the 9 mil conversion actually. If anything i'd say it looks better for having those mags in that particular setup rather than a normal STANAG, 9mm just suits it better than 5.56x45 would.

 

I wouldn't paint the SR though; presuming the CTR is OD (that sort of light may be throwing it off) I'd just make the body of the CASV match, perhaps the MIAD too. Sorted.

Yeah it's a dark OD. It was the CASV and grip I was thinking about painting. I couldn't bring myself to paint the body even though it is starting to show its age.

I might dig out the Krylon after work and see what it looks like in OD or possibly in a similar pattern as it is now but done in woodland.

That picture looks great. Only tiny bit I would change is the flashhider. SF 212 would be nice.

Black, long RIS ideal.
