My latest AR project, despite hysteria prices

[imarangemaster]

I am ususally a retro guy, but decided to do an M4gery to replace the 653 clone I traded for my gorgeous Standard Products M1 Carbine. I had bought a stripped Stag Arms lower a week before the insanity, and had misc. stuff like a lower parts kit, gas tube, slip ring, grip, and a few other things.

I was worried about getting the rest, especially a barrel. I usually get my barrels from Midway, but they are not even taking back oders. The prices on Gunbroker are nuts, but I managed to snag an ESS 16" M4 barrel for $220. Too much, but still good by today's hysteria prices.

I also got a complete Colt A2 (yes, I prefer built in carry handles, as I am not an optics guy) upper that was Cerrocoated for $100, which is actually a decent price. M4 stocks are still cheap, as were the Magpul handguards.

Most of the rest I actually got from e-sarco.com. They even still had charging handles for $14. The scarcest itme for lowers are magazine catches, which I got one of GB for $200 for the complete assembly.

The only part that I don't have, or that is on the way already is a blt carrier group. I am seeing them for $350-$400, give or take, so for now I'll share my 602s BCG!

I'll post some pics when I get it done.
