^^^ Maybe a stupid question but did your "buddy" who lives way way way up north oil the charging handle track in the upper receiver?
Or was he afraid that some oil was going to bump that weight up?
My "buddy" said his charging handles were stiff until he used a bit of lube.
Awesome build btw
I know my "buddy" regrets not ordering one before the new legislation!
The legislation doesn't affect anything yet. If I were you, I'd tell your buddy to order right away and PAY IN FULL. That way it's already his before anything from C71 takes effect.
If he ordered today, what's the eta to completion
I'm sure he sold them , I know my bud did. He wants nothing to do with firearms anymore after Wendy C. and her lobby group went on the air yesterday
C7A1 clone in progress... with some "modern" luxuries
Missing the ambi magazine release, and need to track green grip, A1 stock (ordered a Brownells green to get me by until I can MAYBE track a true Colt green A1/A2 butt), and green Elcan cover.
Upgrades:
Charging handle is a Radian Raptor
Trigger is a Trigger Tech
Hogue grip... only on temporarily until I can track a green grip
Not-so-proper parts:
Its a 1:7 twist HBAR from a Colt HBAR - so it doesnt have the Government profile. Hidden by the handguards, so I dont mind... and it will be a shooter, not a safe-queen, so the HBAR will have a benefit
The muzzle brake came from the HBAR, and will be getting swapped to a bird cage shortly
The sling is attached to the butt stock with rivets, so it's irremovable without cutting it off, or removing the sling mount. Won't be keeping it.

After many, many delays it's finally done.
I've got to ask though! How did you get that barrel profile if it's 18.5+? Or....
ATRS custom barrel XD

I must be missing something, what’s going on with this barrel?
