    There will always be jerks in life, don't let them keep you from doing or building something you like. The process should be fun after all! Good metaphor for life.

    M16A2 is just aesthetically perfect

      I think the A1 has more drip, but the A2 is the better sight.

    1.they look cool
    2.cant get lost (US army will be happy)
    3.g o o s e n e c k
    4.iconic
    5.can hold zero even if used as carry handle
    But in a serious note, cloners have waaaaaaay too much faith that the military and its manufacturers and soldiers always all do what a manual or whatever says they ought to. Its exactly like the scale modelers who get huffy that your tank isnt correct because it has the wrong idler wheel or paint even thought you consulted photos and theres plenty of photos where things arent as they “ought to” be. And even if there were no photos ever of anything being “wrong” is it really so outlandish that a first pattern M16 or something had A1/A2 stuff added to it over the course of its career. In combat things break and wear out and if it can be repaired with spare parts from whatever the new pattern of weapon/vehicle/what have you is then it probably will be in actual reality. Plenty of photos of setups actually used in war that would upset these cloning snobs. Thus concludes my rant about forum trolls who think they are something more than that.

    Fulton Armory has the best quality A1 barrel you can get in stock. It's a Criterion in proper A1 format.

      I apologize. I just looked and they are out of stock now. They should have more soon as they usually have them in stock. Brownells will likely have a quality A1 barrel in stock.

    Meanwhile, my M16 retro build is a KP15 lower, and has A1, A2 and A4 things going on lmao
    I never much cared for 'exact' clones, as long as people can appreciate that it looks like an M16

    Great topic, as usual! I can say the H&R 20” chrome-lined 1:12 barrel is great. I also deviated on my clone, using a Bushmaster receiver that has a shell deflector, which as a lefty I really like. In fact, my rifle is probably closer to a Canadian C-7!

    A lot of it comes down to terminology. A "clone" is going to be an exact copy. A clone of an M16A1 will be made from original and/or reproduction parts.
    Slapping an A1 upper on a modern lower is not a clone. It's what we affectionately call a "Fraken AR". A Frankenstein monster of mismatched parts.

    Cloners are definitely a special kind of elitist. I'm not even offended towards their often hostile antics, more perplexed than anything else really.

    I think the reason that cloners are being jerks to you is because you didn't build a clone. You simply made a functioning AR with modern parts using a parts kit. It appears that you made no effort trying to make the replacement parts you put on in a look original and that's fine but it's not what cloning is. You build a modern retro rifle or an A1 inspired build but it's definitely not a clone. Building a clone is about making a rifle as close to original as you can within your budget, ability and legal restrictions. If you would have spray painted your lower gray to get a little bit closer to matching the upper It would be a start. On the upside I bet you shoot your rifle way more than 90% of the cloners do.

    • @8mmmauserman
      @8mmmauserman  7 місяців тому +3

      I haven’t spray painted the lower because it’s a pace holder until I can get the correct one.
      Thanks for the thoughts regardless. Have a nice day
