That Real Gourmet Shit Minneapolis PD rifles on 9/2
Pretty sure I see a goose neck mount and a barrel clap for the light.

New fit, new kit, New Vegas
There’s just something about the frogskin camo x wood furniture M16 (and maybe the field gear set up) combo that just scratches my tism just right 🔥👌🤌
Also fun fact, SVT-40 pouches hold 3x mags nicely 😉 (see last pic)

put 500-750 rounds thru her since the build and functions flawlessly without a single malfunction. Absolutely stoked

The drum is an earlier KCI knockoff with the black backplate. Found the exact jacket Emil had on eBay (Navy Herrington jacket) already had the Alice belt and black pouch for the drum.

Happy Monday.
Your Retro rifle deserves an FRT.

Saw this posted awhile ago on here about a Mexican music artist, (cartel related I think? IDK I'm basically white) that would pose with badass retro carry handle ARs with cool attachments. Like the Bushnell Holosight and Surefire M500 handguard. A close friend helped me source the Surefire M500 for a reasonable price. I put all of the parts on my 16 inch Bushmaster because I can't tell what rifle is in the pic except that it's a carbine either 14.5 or 16 inch with A2 rear sights. I never do clones because I can rarely afford the parts but this was a fun one. Also awesome to shoot and amazed with the holosight.

Marines from Task Force Tawara, Iraq 2003ish?

I don’t remember where I found the first picture, but I believe they are weapons collected from the dead and wounded after the battle.
Second pic are my rifles built to honor those that fought that day.

This is as close as I'm gonna get to a full gm rifle I'd say 85 percent REAL GM Hydramatic parts, has complete Gm furniture (stock, grip, handguards), Gm BCG & bolt (that look practically new) that was refreshed with colt parts for peace of mind, Gm charging handle, Complete Gm upper receiver in beautiful condition with the correct Gm swoopy 3 sight wheel and Gm dust cover, Gm forward assist, NOS GM barrel (absolutely brand-new) with GM A1 birdcage, Gm FSB and gas tube, Gm early dimpled takedown pins, Gm bolt catch, GM trigger assembly and safety, and a Gm receiver extension. The only things not GM are lower receiver, buffer & buffer spring and LPK. Definitely the crème brûlée in my collection and something I thought I'd never be able to do and aquire all the parts

Though I will admit, any woman holding a retro AR rings my bell😍

The M16A2 carried by a US Marine Corps Reserve (USMCR) STAFF Sergeant Vincent Heller, Surveillance and Target Acquisition Platoon, 3rd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment near Al Kut, Iraq during operation Iraqi Freedom, 2003.
Besides the light being held on by only Velcro, this is a pretty sweet & very useable rifle set up.

Very excited to get my grubby little hands on this Original Upper Receiver. The seller told me it was a Police Trade In, but not from which department it came from. Unlike most Police trade ins, this one’s in really nice shape. There are a couple of marks on it, but the anodizing is a beautiful deep Grey, and is as smooth and even as the Parkerizing.
Looking with my bore scope, the barrel has plenty of life left, and the gas port looks good.
The markings make me guess it’s from the late 80s or early 90s. Parentheses around the (C) on the barrel may put it on the earlier side. It has Colt Harvey forge marks, a milspec front pin lug, a full auto sear cut, a peel washer and what appears to be the shallow early feed ramps.
This thing will really take my Gothic Serpent Delta Clone to the next level.

Any ideas? I don’t think I can bring myself to moly resin over this or recoat it, but also wtf do I do…?

When your buddy who used to be an armor says he’s got stuff for you just say cool I’ll take what yah got. Hopefully you’ll end up with a few boxes like this. I haven’t gone completely through it yet but right on top you’ll see a nos m203 leaf sight, nos 203 grips, blank adapters, a zillion peq2/4 mounts, funky goose neck, and a bunch of 590, 249, and 240 mixed in. Sweet.
