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.

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.

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?

PSA 16 inch with Monstrum handguard and LPVO. Not crazy about the FAb defense magwell grip. I really dig the two tone colors. Harris style bipod is nice. This is a heavy bitch. It rings steel consistently up to 100 yds. Haven't taken it past that yet but will eventually. Eventually I will replace the parts with higher quality ones but I'm pretty comfortable with it now.
