New to firearms, and super new to rifles, particularly MSR's. At a local gunsmith, I got to take a look at a vintage Colt AR-15. First time seeing one in person and it stuck with me. It's a good looking gun. If I had to psychoanalyze myself, I'm pretty sure my appreciation for the aesthetic comes from playing with and watching GI Joes in the 80's.
Maybe at some point I'll try to acquire one but nothing I'm chasing actively now.
What it got me thinking about is a modern version of this.
In my mind, an SBR 12.5" rifle with short rail, integral gas block/sight, a carry handle, and an AEM5.
Browsing the web, Centurion Arms comes pretty darn close with their CM4. Maybe I'd start there and add the carry handle to the picatinny.
How would go about making the dream come true? Would you start with a complete upper and mod it? Build from parts? What brands/parts would you go for?
