M16a1 Build
So, I have been looking to build one of these for some time now. One night in chat I was mentioning it and Alton said he had a couple kits laying around. Fast forward a month or so and he gave me a deal I could not pass. I was trying to get as close to period correct as I could without spending a mint and the following pics show how it ended up. I like it! Can't wait to shoot it this coming weekend. A lot of thanks goes out to Alton as he helped me throughout my build and he is a wealth of knowledge. The main item that is not period correct is the lower. I had an Anderson lower sitting in the safe so, I just used it for this build. Maybe, some time in the future I will pick up a repro lower that matches better. Anyways, thanks again to Alton and here are some pics (we all love pics).
This was my guide sort of speak as well. From top to bottom is an A1, A2, M4,(?).  Here is what I received from Alton.   Here is the finished product after adding the proper handguards and three prong flash hide as well as a teardrop forward assist.
