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:

Did you weather that mag yourself, or is it all natural? In any case, I love the effect it's had; sort of like a grain down wood.

 

For the recoil, I just took out the innards, took them all out onto the road outside, put my boot on them, and dragged them back and forth!

 

The WE mags didn't get the same treatment. Weren't quite as easy to replace if they went wrong!

 

I was fairly happy with both guns. Sadly had to sell them both. The recoil cost me a tonne of money in the end :(

Not cerakote just OD green rustoleum camo spray paint. That way if needed I can strip is back to black or change up the paint. Mind you I did 4 coats and cook them with a heat gun after each coat. Realy helps the paint stick and not wear as fast. Base coat was tan so when it does wear it will go from green to tan to black

Got Wood? -  you should change the pistol grip and frowned for the correct earlier pattern ones.

 

In my opinion the grip is fine - there seems to be no "correct" one as there are plenty of photos of the real gun with various grips factory installed (A1, A2, etc.).
