Figured I'd start a new thread on this one.
While I am affluent in the ways of the Kalashnikov, and have built on the order of 25 variants, I had not built an AR type rifle until this week. Thanks to several of you fine folk's input and guidance. I purchased a Del-Ton M4 carbine kit with an M16 BCG, and picked up a stripped Del-Ton lower from a friend at work. Very basic, and I still havent picked up any type of rear sight. I'm partial to the carry handle, because in my youth I carried an M16A1 in the Marines. At the moment I have no real need for any serious optics, so I will probably go with the handle. I know that this is as basic as they come, and it's from a bottom tier company, but it was a nice change of pace nonetheless. Since I have a Galil/Golani I'm thinking about getting an AR mag adaptor for it from AKPartskits.com and just running AR mags as they are WAY less expensive. Any rate, here's my new toy:
