    Aka my gun ADD in one photo.

    The problem with impulse buying parts on sale or clearance.

    I really need to figure out what I want to actually build.

    Seems that an A2ish rifle might be it.

    A barrel and lower parts kit may be a good start. Charging handle and BCG would be nice, too. That long buffer may lock you into a longer barrel. It's a process and you've made a good start!

    Is that silver cylinder a Gas Block?

    ALG handguard?

    Yep, that’s an interesting selection of parts. To me it looks like about three rifles.
    -Upper starts the A2 type build.
    -Gas tube and FSB for a carbine clone.
    -ALG Handguard and Aero lower for a nice modern build.

    Get two more lowers, a couple barrels and some LPKs and have a party.

    The stock and carry handle alone are gonna make it look like a stock or modded A2 if all this is all used on one rifle, methinks

    I like the multi-rifle idea better...

    It's the barrel nut for that handguard. You're right, I still need a few major components.

    ALG handguard?

    Yes. 8" keymod I bought on clearance because I knew I'd want to do a pistol build.

    One rifle would be a mess but kind of amusing.

    I like the multi rifle idea.

    I'm thinking the A2 upper and Stock will be the start of either a 16" dissipator or 20" rifle build.

    The handguard a pistol: I'm between three cartridges on that, .22 LR, 5.56 or .300 BLK.

    I did just order a BCM Mod 3 grip and two Sons of Liberty blaster lower parts kits.

    Need more parts...

    That's what I paid during their Easter sale. Good to know that's consistent. I'll see what black Friday holds.

    I found a detent spring on the floor that flew away months ago. Can’t let it go to waste, gotta build another.

    This is the BEST reason I have ever heard to start another build.

    "But honey, I found a detent spring... i HAVE to build another rifle. It would be silly to NOT build one..."

    Yes.
    The elegant full butt-stock and triangular Model 603 hand guards are just classic beauty.

    One step more retro is to go without the foreword assist.
    I have the Colt SP1 as original and don't plan to change. It is identical (other than select fire) as the originals the USAF started issuing back when I was in. No forward assist.
