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:

It's RS, although I've been told that there's a typo in the NSN number! Friday night special, obviously ;)

 

I've had two Madbull ones and a SOCOM Gear one, so I thought why not invest in my favourite RIS? Biggest difference aside from the overall quality is the colour. The RS really is brown - not copper.

 

I particularly liked this - so helpful :D

D@mn true.

If only I could afford real RIS II / mk18, I wouldn't touch MB even with a stick.

But You know what Guys ? As long as I don't see Madbull compared to RS, it's not that big deal :D.

As it has been said many times before coloration varies from batch to batch with both clones and the RS. The finish seems to be less consistent with the replicas, but I had a socom gear one that looked pretty much spot on. I never compared to to a real one, but from literally every picture I saw mine looked spot on. I have seen plenty of others that also look pretty much perfect, as well as plenty that just look awful.

What are you going to install it to? I really wonder how it would fit. I am begging you to post pictures about it! :D

Prime PTW upper, until I can get an RS one.

 

I've got a Matech rear BUIS and an old skool YHM front on the way. Eventually I'll get hold of a KAC taupe front - but I've seen the YHM flip-up sight in early Block II upper pics.

Noveske, that is begging for a better muzzle break.

 

Lol, interestingly enough, I was trying to replicate Stickman's build:

I don't mind going with another flashider/brake, but I prefer one which is the same length as the A2 birdcage to keep it short.  Thought about a KAC TBB or a BCE 1.0, any other suggestions?
