I became interested in building a retro about 4 years ago when I first learned of the XM607 which had the first of the telescoping stocks. Couldn't afford the $400 asking price at the time and of course now I can't even find any for sale. But I carried on with the project nonetheless. I purchased a lot of parts from various vendors. Once I got my fake moderator with grenade ring, it became apparent to me that finding a 12.5" barrel to mount it on (albeit permanently) would give me a carbine as short as legally possible. Evidently someone envisioned shooting rifle grenades that slipped over the moderator, in a manner similar to how the M1 Garand launcher is used. I was advised ATF has been known to be a little bit rough on the guns when they're checking for permanence of installation. Consequently I had an FFL gunsmith mount, drill, and weld over the pin to ensure it won't come off except with the most brutal force. The barrel is a Daniel Defense m4 style. Would have preferred a thinner one more like the Vietnam era, but finding one in the length I was after just couldn't be done. Nodak Spud supplied me with the receivers, RET, and also some POC for other part vendors. They even sold me a couple of waffle mags to lend more authenticity to the project. If you notice the ejection port door has a rectangular pad, the selector and various pins have dimples, bolt catch pad has an odd surface and the magazine button doesn't have our modern "many circle" design. The lower receiver even has the small hole that was originally used to capture the RET with a roll pin. Buttstock is two position, either collapsed or extended, better than nothing. Of course it wouldn't be complete without the triangular handguards, which by the way necessitate use of a rear handguard cap as well as the usual front cap that is pressed against the FSB. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoy shooting. yours for the second.. tim

My shooting buddy Tim Knows what he is talking about. This is a great Car15 build. He knows more about AR-15 rifles than anyone I know.
