Thanks to Madgunsmith, who turned me on to some early 70s Colt uppers and a place to get a Colt bolt carrier group. I finally built my 'retro' AR-15.

I wanted a gun that reminded me of the one I qualified with in basic in the Air Force. Based on what I have read, it would not surprise me if I qualified on an old Model 604 without the forward assist. My memory is not that good, but I seem to remember a forward assist on the gun I trained with.

I got a surplus early 70s vintage Colt upper with the pencil barrel profile and triangular handguards, found a Colt BC and bolt, an old surplus '70s vintage A1 stock with arsenal number still on it, and a newly manufactured LRB lower which I fitted with a DPMS parts kit. I found some some '70s Colt 20-round straight mags at a gun show, bought an old green cotton sling at a gun show and, well, here she is!

What a beautiful weapon Marco. What are the specs on that?

Thanks on the compliments! The upper is a BCM 14.5" midlength with a fsc556 comp/hider on the muzzle. The lower is Daniel Defense with magpul MOE grip and stock.

I love the 14.5 middy! That's what my first CMMG is, and it's my favorite configuration of AR. Infact, that's what my next AR will be, too!

Good looking rifle, Marco.

Here's my summer project.

It's not done, on my buddy's lower, bad picture, etc etc. I'll get a range report and more pics up before too long.
