    All new parts from Brownells. They had the proto upper and lower sets on sale so I grab one and this is the end result. The furniture is painted Kona brown to sorta match the original Prototype furniture on the very first Armalite rifles.

    No M855 for that gun.
    My XM177E2 has a 12 twist also. The M193 are fine. ---- SAWMAN
    ADDED: Can shoot the M855's out to about 50yds with my gun. Yours ... a little further due to the extra vel obtained over my 11.5" bbl.
    My gun is fed a steady diet of 193's.

    I'm trying to find the parts to build a retro now. most everything is out of stock... I can find a piece here and there but nowhere near everything I need...
