I would second John's recommendation. I've only used Rob for parts so far, a really helpful guy.

It's taken a while, here's my XM177E2 build, using an NDS upper on a Brownells retro lower.

A mix of original and repro parts, original parts being handguards and pistol grip, plus buffer.

The bolt group is one of the excellent Guncraft examples, a lovely piece of engineering and uses Blackdog 15 Rd magazines.

The rifle was put together by Dean Harmes here in the UK a few years back, painted and made as close as possible to represent an E2.

Considering the 12" barrel, it's rather accurate, printing cloverleaf groups at 25 yards and 2" groups at 100 yards.

Oddly likes CCC maxi mag varmit, very reliably,
but hates CCI fmj! Constant jams and failure to feed.

Great fun to shoot, it's as close to centerfire semi automatic as we can get and fits in nicely with my other milsurps.

The scope is a rather nice Brownells retro, excellent little scope....
