Many heard about the Legend of the gun fighter AR15, that got passed around and TV press pass owned it.

As seen here.

Well....

REDUX #2 Just happened..

I bought a Norc M4 with a quad rail because the price was right. To rebuild the original would been 3x more than what I paid. Also I don't shoot as much as I used to. So it was justified to go with a norc.

This came in the mail today. 5 mags, 20shots thru, jumbo mag release, Quad rail 550 to my door.

I happened to find one guy that had the Magpul M93 stock, Badger Ord Tac latch, K&N anti walk pins and MIAD.

Still having trouble sourcing the AK74 style brake that came off bushmasters AR and the YHM 1 piece gas block.

I settled at the moment for a AIMS AK74 brake with an adapter. Which I ordered today as well rail covers and wanted to try a bad lever. Well the AK74 brake got return to sender for being CRAP.. I think I'm going to settle for a CMMG SV or a NEA single gill brake. Shorter brake doing the same thing.

I found out YHM doesn't make the 1 piece flip up sight gas block anymore and only has a 2 piece version. I guess that has to do. I mean other option was buying a cheap RRA one and cutting the 3 sling swivels off. But be a lot of work and waste of money.

Also issue I found is the paint. Well Krylon makes the Camo SAND, but not available here in Canada and Amazon wants 40$ for A can. Nobody local will bring in a can, but they list the color on the US site. All I could find is a Sand in gloss.

Just excited to have something again to remind me of all the fun I had. I won't paint till I get the proper parts.

Mail man came today with a package.

Post man came with a package.

1 MIAD grip, 1 Double Star CH with Gen 1 Badger Ord Tac Latch, 1 M93 stock and Gen 1 KNS Anti Walk pins..

I ordered magpul rail covers, over the tango down.
 
Whats the story behing the first rifle? I vaguely remember seeing that rifle before and always thought it was nice.

I built it in 2005 ( It was my first AR )

Bought most of the parts for it off the EE. Sold it around 2010-11 to a person in BC, He than sold it to TV Press Pass, He sold to to a guy that bought it for his father. I tracked down the owner. It doesn't have the AK 74 brake or the M93 stock anymore.


I settled for a NEA single gill brake.
