I read somewhere that the MACV-SOG and LRRP guys used to put E1 or A1 uppers on XM-177 lowers to get the most out of the collapsible lower mated to a full length rifle upper.
So I decided to piece together a facsimile of one, but with a 1-7 barrel instead of the original 1-12.
Using an Aero stripped lower, Fulton Armory Colt style CAR stock with an old style jam nut (first models weren't what you'd call a castle nut), Colt A1 upper, and the yet to be purchased A1 style pencil barrel, triangle handguards, and a few other little parts, I'll hopefully have it together by the beginning of July.
Anyway, here's the beginning.....
