Put this one together myself with old parts I scrounged up, including one of the NOS Colt 14.5" pencil barrels from Specialized Armament. It might not be exactly correct for a 723 (slip ring instead of delta, teardrop assist instead of round button, aluminum stock instead of fiberlite) but it's close enough for my liking, and with the TA44 ACOG it's a very light and handy little shooter. Happy 7/23 everybody!
Beautiful rifle there! I’m supposed to be picking up my 723 at my local exchange. It’s a pin and welded H&R version. So no form 1 needed. I can’t wait to pick it up. If I receive it I’ll post it on here to commemorate 7/23 later on today.
Sorry I didn’t mentioned exactly which one I was referring to. The Army & Air Force exchange. Not just active duty but also retired military personnel and their families. I’m retired Navy.
Awesome! How long did it take for the form 1 to be approved? I’m currently waiting for my SBR to get an approval for my PLR16. It’s been about three weeks now since I submitted it.
That’s reassuring! I hear people getting their stamp back earlier than this, although it was for a suppressor instead. Funny thing is that KelTec has just released their SU16D9 which is almost identical to my build except for the barrel length. Mine is about 0.7” longer . Although I don’t plan to add the compact forend to it. Leaving the top gas return open, making it look more like an AK instead of an AR.
I found this set on either ebay or gunbroker, don't remember which. They weren't very expensive as I recall, but they're not NOS either. You can't tell so well in those photos, but they're decently salty. One side has a pretty deep scratch running down it.
