For some reason, this is what they want here at work.

They bring me the upper and blank upper receiver (this one is a C7) and I modify their rifle to an A1 style upper, triangle handguard with three prong flash hider. They absolutely don't want the screw on carry handle on a flat top.

This barrel is the same PSA mid length gas system with a rifle length FSB.

They LOVE the 16" gun with the look of the Vietnam rifle.

You might ask yourself, Marzy, just how do they pay you for all this magnificent work?

Eggrolls, wonderful Vietnamese eggrolls and fish sauce.

Coworker needs personal PC help from time to time. She pays me in authentic Czech kolaches
Told her I don't want her money, but will work for kolaches.

You're killing me here. I lived in a little village south of Prague when I was in elementary school and there was a little bakery stand next to the bus stop that sold fresh kolacy for 2-3 crowns (like $0.06-$0.09) apiece. They were still warm in the morning, and the bakery itself was between our house and the bus stop so you could smell them the whole way there.

Can't find those in Northern Indiana, and these days I couldn't eat them anyway thanks to my stupid pancreas, but dang that brings back some great memories!

Vietnamese eggrolls are THE BEST fried eggroll hands down.

Oh man. We had a family friend who brought those eggrolls whenever they came to our house. So good.

It is an odd configuration, but why not?

How much is the honorarium for a non coworker ? Tear drop forward assist is the vibe on that upper.
Nice work.

I'd hold out for some Pho soup next time.

45 years ago there was a cart on the Drag in Austin that was a Vietnamese eggroll deal. I ate lunch there a lot.

Next to it was a Mexican huarache vendor. The ones with real tire soles.

Thanks a lot Mars.

The list of things I need to spend money on before this is infinite. But, here I am. Gotta say I really really like it. I held out for the Gray receivers and I'm glad I did. The Slick Side works fine for me. Not too picky in that regard plus the A1s were out of stock for the month I was watching.

I talked myself into it by calculating how cheap I could get it done. Now, I dangerously find myself browsing old Nam era Colt parts and thinking how much better it would be with the real deal on it. All the way down to receivers. Out of control.

I've never had a triangle handguard AR, but ever since I saw a LaFrance M16K machine gun I knew I'd have to have one. All the SOT Dealers gathered around that one like it was the prom king. Anyway,

I'm glad I could be such a bad influence!

This reminds me of the TV show "Storage Wars" when Barry Weiss traded a big screen projection TV to a mexican family for a tray of authentic burritos.

He said he got the better part of the deal as they were the best burritos he ever had.

Well done Marzy.
