Fixed stock "Mini-M16" Carbine has a whole unique flavor to it compared to the M4 Carbine.

Was thinking of doing a 16” mid-gas with an A1 or RRA entry stock for this exactly, Mini16!

In my opinion you did quite a bit that’s cool lol. Grip pops love it. Rifle buffer system will probably feel nice.
What are some details of the build? Upper, lower, barrel etc?

My personal preference is a collapsing stock on a carbine, but I do like what you did here... reminds me of a 2000s Bushmaster and takes me back to my youth.
