So the plan was a straight up IDF clone.

I got an A1 fixed carry upper with A1 sights, teardrop forward assist, no shell deflector.

thanks to @Fast306stang I snagged that Trijicon reflex sight on a Trijicon A1 carry handle dog leg rail

PSA “government property” M4A1 retro style lower

A1 pistol grip

USGI GP sling

Zahal IDF handguard and stock wraps

Ive also got a US Army take off Colt M4 prolife barrel stripped, but it’s missing the index pin so I need to fix that. It’s a 14.5 so I’ll pin and weld with an ext A2 and need to populate a FSB too

Got CAR-15 poly stock on order and have a set of skinny carbine round clamshell handguards
—————————————

I still need

BCG
A2 Non- F marked FSB assembly
4 poisition (not 6) buffer tube,end plate, and castle nut
Charging handle

So I’m pretty close.

I ditched the A1 rear aperture for an A2 and never looked back. I like the A2 aperture much more than the the A1 for iron sight work.

No difference in zeroing? Still use a non-f marked FSB or change any posts etc? I thought there was some nuance with swapping the aperture that made me shy away from it but I can’t remember

Because A1 rear sight apertures are wack lol. Too much thinking involved in Long range aperture or zero aperture. I learned it all awhile ago and figured I’d study up again when it’s built and i got to zero but I remember it was stupid

The FSB is F marked. Zeroed with no issues in front sight post elevation. It's slightly down in the recess, about 4 turns past flush. That's actually about normal for me on a zeroed M4 iron sight.

And the aperture hole is the same size for both zero and "L" long range...........Very Small.

@Shemp were you looking for 303 ammo?

I am, but I can get it cheaper from SG

Why is it so hard to find a Chinese butt stock

I don't think they're really that hard to find. They're hard to find at a price you're willing to pay.

A guy has been at the last couple of shows with a Chinese stock set with the pistol grip for $250.

BTW, isn't there a show this weekend at Savannah?

Yes there is. I forgot about it it. Thanks for that! I’ll try to go.

I’ve come to the conclusion it’s gonna cost, and I’m ready to bite the bullet and just buy it. Now I can’t seem to find anyone selling it!
