Wife said she wanted something different.

Wow! That's out there! I like it. How heavy? Does it shoot? Was it a large forward pin upper? 1:12 barrel?

It’s fully functioning. Small pin A1 upper. It’s got a new M4 profile 1/7 barrel on it. It weighs a bit more than a standard one, but nothing crazy.

You couldn’t have named that better. “Apocalyptic/Retro” is perfect! Looks like something from Mad Max. I dig it!

I have seen them,carried them,and used them, . . . mostly in AK form. I very quickly learned that you should NEVER underestimate the weapon,OR the well trained and expieranced user,by the weapons outward appearance.
Who owns it ?? Who built it ?? Any more details ?? ---- SAWMAN

I built it this week for my wife. She didn’t want another plain Jane AR. The A1 upper is one of the Asian surplus ones that are all over the place right now. I used a new M4 barrel and made the hand guard from copper pipe and wrapped it with rawhide lace for heat protection. The stock came from Blackwood Trading.

Love to see those "worry beads" attached to the weapon.
These are mine. At several points in my military career they were attached to my weapon and other different parts of my gear or clothing.
Not to be confused with the Army's version of a "pace counter". ---- SAWMAN
