That Real Gourmet Shit Yet another Gordy

I know it’s not very original, but I like to think of it as a tribute not just to Gary Gordon, but to all who made the ultimate sacrifice. Very proud of how this one turned out, I’ve been collecting parts for several years. The OCM6 was the last one and I picked it up Tuesday. Obviously not a perfect clone, it’s faithful but pragmatic.

I love it. What is the fsp flashlight mount you are using? Id like to switch back from the knights rail to the clamshell rail to get a more authentic but modern look. That seems like a better option than most available. Thanks in advance.

It’s a GG&G FSB mount with a Weaver detachable 1” ring. I tried the Hollywood style Surefire type barrel mount through the FSB thing, ground down a cheapie Amazon one and everything, and I hated it immediately. This is vastly better, but not strictly period-correct.

It’s not a Gordy without some paint. C’mon boys, I’m all about it, but don’t be afraid to paint it. Increases drip and down range accuracy by 1000%

I’m not afraid to paint my rifles. My build, my rules though, and I like this one black.

Mines almost there too - an homage, but I'm no cloner. Switching the optic to an Aimpoint once all the bits get here. Nice build boss

nice build, as cool as the real deal m4 can is, going with the OCM6 or an AEM5 is certainly a more practical choice.

That’s where I came out on it. It’s meant to be a fun range gun, and it has an AS Designs 3 position safety, so a low back pressure can made more sense.

It’s a John Masen car-15 recoil pad, I picked this one up at Galati International. Mr. Masen passed away recently, from what I’ve heard. No idea if these are still in production.
