I decided I wanted a basic AR rifle for playing around with so I built this one.
It follows the basic pattern of the original Canadian C7 rifle with the exception of a heavy barrel in place of the Government profile and 1 in 9 twist replaces the 1 in 7 Military twist.
I also chose to install a Rock River two stage trigger group in place of the single stage AR trigger.
I have always appreciated a two stage trigger and never could get warm and fuzzy to a single stage.
The furniture is all A2.
I actually prefer the upgraded furniture of the A2.
I always felt A1 furniture was pretty flimsy.
The sights are basic A1.
The front post is round and .050 in diameter.
I may switch to tritium sights, probably Meprolight, in the near future but I wanted to relive my youth and try a rifle similar to what I first experienced in the Army but with upgrades that I feel might make me appreciate the basic AR more than I did way back then.
That basic A1 rear sight set up, charming.
