Got a Gryphon Electronics Professional Laser sight PLS 500 finally fixed and working. I love the look of the early, bulky laser sights. Way cooler than the Amazon slop and used car priced lasers today. I appreciate the quality of modern ones but the retro lasers had style points. Paired perfectly with my Bushnell Holosight and Jhud stock.

Diet Retro Maybe just one more carryhandle?

I bring a real retro-modern vibe to the function that not alot of people enjoy.

Colt Lower

Random carryhandle upper I found in the parts bin.

FN SOCOM profile 14.5

Troy Alpha 13in with a *very professionally done* FSB cutout

Trijicon MRO

LA-23 *shhh you can't have it*

Found a couple Troy handgaurds so figured I'd play a little bit with them. Cut two for FSBs, one with an A2 upper and the other with a flattop. Will do one more with no FSB cut as an actual rifle and not just yet another carry handle meme.

She shoots and groups well. Haven't tested how well zero with the LAD is but hopefully within the next couple weeks she can be put through her paces.

H&R XM177E1 10.5”

When I was a little boy my folks got me a hard bound coffee table Book of Guns. I ear marked the Colt commando page as a dream gun for adulthood. I grew up and would’ve been happy to get a Brownells M16A1 clone. Last Friday on a wild hare I decided to buy a 10.5 H&RXM177. My wife told me she was pregnant with our third child and second accident a few hours after I ordered it.

I would not have bought it had I known she was pregnant. It grouped tight at 15 yards at the PSA indoor range which isn’t much of a trial but I am very excited. Does anyone know much about the internals? Just milspec I assume. What suppressors work well with it. It would be my first suppressor of any kind and I am budget minded. Hear a lot of good thinks about Otter Creek.

Thank You

T65 Build Question

3 Upvotes

For those of you that have built T65s, am I correct it thinking the lower handguard needs to be installed with the gas block, or is there a way to take it on and off once the block is pinned?
