Of late I've been culling the parts bin of AR stuff I'm never going to use.
It actually feels pretty darn good!
Black Rifle Disease is something of an addiction and Retro-BRD is worse.
By selling the parts the urge to build that early Project Agile AR is greatly diminished.
The only planned retro build now is to get a 20" pencil barrel and do some parts juggling. The XM16E1 will become a late M16A1 and the retro 6.8 will become an early R604 (or very late R602 depending on the source). Eventually I might get another A1 upper and change the GAU-5/A back into an XM177E2. Nodak is behind on getting new ones made.
The purple AR project is in what I'm calling development hell, Harvey calls it "look at all the choices". A flat-top 6.8 middy seems most likely at this point.
