So.. doing a little reading about the A2 receiver option cause that does look like a cool build and a capable but very tough set-up.
If I understand correctly I can use an M4 type barrel and extension with this receiver , it's just that the grooves wont be in the extension pocket? Right? But that some dremel or round file them in anyway?
Also was going to ask about who to get one from. Got steered away from Model 1 sales, Fulton Armory says theirs is a USGI contractor, Rock River worth considering? Couple other places out of stock. Any of them better than the other for whatever reason? Fulton armory would be one of the last [bleep] I would patronize.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

That's why I was asking on here, trying not to find out everything the old fashioned "getting bit" way. A2's are just not that popular, going to have to lie in wait if I want an FN or settle for something not as high on the list. I read about ten contradictory posts a day about manufacturers and decent products.
Since I'm about ready to start buying parts I will probably just go A3 and use the back sight I have. Cheap everything except for bcg,lpk, and trigger. It's going to be a beater.

I'd recommend an A1 or A2 upper.
All of my cheaper truck guns with a flat top, have wound up with more money in optics than the gun itself, so it defeats the purpose.
Get an A2 and let it live in your truck. Yup.....this one lives in the truck ![[Linked Image]](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u52/doetail68/20170416_154504_zpsp2xkhuwy.jpg)

What is it Ted? Did it come as a completed upper or did you put it together? A2 barrel and FSB or did you buy a barrel and pin an A2 fsb on it? What manufacture names?

Thanks Ted, are you back to normal these days? My elk pard had a similar episode a couple years ago, glad they are so good at what all they can do.

I appreciate you asking

love the truck gun idea,but i like the most out of a rifle not the cheap parts, don't game or varmints or farm animals deserve the best in are equipment for a quick dispatch's.I also think that rifles be bring in the house at night for cleaning and not being stolen.
