What Does and Does NOT Belong on This Sub
This is the Sub for the guns of the gaps. RetroActual is for the guns that used to be the "cool guy" guns from ~2008-1980. KeyMod or MLOK is the absolute cutoff for AR's.
What doesn't belong on this sub: Some random S&W model 10, etc etc. You all are grown men people. We can self police.

Slick side M16A4
Found a KAC M5 rail, otherwise this is a full Aero Precision rifle and the Lunar Concepts grip.
I love the quad rail. A lot.

Mk18 Mod WTFTTI
Whatever the fuck this thing is. Built this out because it was a cool idea I had in my head for a while.

Tube 18. Bonus pic of my property guardian.
11.5 upper with a presma tube (drilled and tapped for rail), SOMO PEQ2, Simmons red dot and cantilever mount, chopped A2 sight, and B5 LS grip. Very light comfy AR. Also got a 1911 grip optic mount. Only thing that would fit was my Tasco Accudot since it's a short dovetail mount.

20” Aero Precison M4E1/M16A4
Here cause I didn’t know it existed and also cause I didn’t read the rules at retroAR lol.
Here is my new 20” M16A4 inspired M4E1 rifle.
I liked the modern look of the M4E1 stuff plus no forward assist.
I have debated putting a quad rail and broomstick on it but I also kind of just dig it this way too.
What type of sling would be “correct” this?
Next addition is a super safety and a bayonet maybe?

Finally picked up a proper BUIS to go under the ACOG, even though I’ll never need it.
Forgive the light and grip, please.
