Just lose the front sling swivel (the bottom one, not the side adapter) and keep an eye out for an NT4 flashhider and you're on the mark for a Block I

Oh! And paint it :cool:

I’ve been slowly collecting bits a pieces for this build over the past few months, and finally got everything together and built in the past week or so. Purely a competition build, so I ordered lots of go fast parts, and I gotta say, it’s feels a lot smoother than many ARs I’ve shot in the past. Loving the JP Brake- it’s a beast! Barely any recoil, super flat shooting, and the added bonus of clearing the firing line for me!
