My new CAR/"Israeli" build

AR/M4 Custom Build Forum
1

[b]I’ve had an A1 upper for years sitting in a box, waiting for me to build it into something.

I added a CMMG lower, CMMG LPK, and an old two position stock set that I had, and came up with this:

Next, I sourced a 16" M4 barrel… 1/7 twist for the heavier bullets I prefer (I couldn’t find a lightweight barrel at all, go figure):

Handguards aren’t mounted, my slip ring and barrel nut are in the mail, along with my charging handle and A2 flash hider. Next week I’ll be ordering a F/A BCG and putting the upper together… then it’s off to the range for some old school iron sight shooting.

Thanks for taking a look![/b]

I love Izzy builds. Post picks after you get it all built. I have an SBR Izzy 653 build that is by far my favorite.

Go here and pick up your handguard wrap, Izzy sling, and mag holder.

I doubt I’ll SBR this, but I’ll definitely put the Israeli sling and handguard wraps on it.

I’ll keep this updated as the build progresses :slight_smile:

Thanks for the link LonghunterCO. I always wondered how they got their mags to attach at 90 degrees.

Although I think there are 90deg mag holders (two mags coupled together) I think that what you typically see in pictures are the single mag holders. They are not allowed to carry a weapon with a mag in the mag well so there is a plastic faux mag that inserts into the mag well and has a holder that keeps a real mag at the ready.

I didn’t know that. Then again, I never paid too much attention to the rifles in the pics I was looking at.

Israeli chicks with guns = HOT! :smiley:

Here’s the latest picture, with A2 flash suppressor and charging handle on it:

Nice.

What do you think? M4 front grips, or keep the CAR grips?

I see pictures of Israeli rifles with both.

I have a similar build. Upgraded a few parts though.

12

Nice one, I like that a lot. I like how the MOE grip is almost an A1 grip.

13

It’s a MIAD with small backstrap/ smooth frontstrap.

14

I stand corrected!

CAR. If you were running a flatop M3 or M4 upper I would go with the M4 handguards.
Like you, I have seen several pictures of older type receivers with new (to them)M4 profile barrels. This gives the appearance of an older weapon that under went a armory barrel replacement to prolong its use in the field. I like the look. YMMV

16

I like the M4 HG’s on your IDF style carbine.
Really nice carbine!

I should update this:

The upper is off to ADCO (barrel isn’t drilled for FSB pins, I don’t feel comfortable doing that) for drilling and putting together.

I think I’m going to go with a black MIAD like -Wes- 's (I like the ability to store a bolt and firing pin and it looks 99% like an A1 grip) and probably will put a RIS/RAS on there as well.

Once the upper is back I’ll take another picture and post it up!
