Delta Force Colt 723 Clone

Been meaning to pick up an Aluminum CAR15 Stock for this build for ages, I've just been putting it off due to sticker shock at what the replicas tend to cost.

Finally got one in from JSE Surplus and I gotta say, this has a way better feel than the B5 Polymer CAR Stock I had on there prior - a Cherokee Cheekrest and John Masen Recoil Pad also fits on much more cleanly than the latter as well.

While there's plenty of references of Delta using Aluminum CAR Stocks, there sadly aren't any close-up enough to show whether they used them with the cheekrest/recoil pad combo that I've set mine up with.

On the same token, both those items were common enough in the unit at the time that I can play the plausible deniability card.

I need to get an ACOG for this

Another recent addition to my Delta 723 Clone

In order to mount an old Laser Bracket and still be able to use the Weaver Scope Mount, unit guys would drill two extra holes on the carry handles of their CAR15's with corresponding threads tapped on the weaver mount.

These screws would allow the laser bracket to install in its usual method of a raised peg through the default optic mounting hole.

In order to do this, I had a few custom 3D-printed jigs made that allow me to mark the spots for drilling on both the carry handle and the weaver mount, respectively. They also work well as single-use drilling jigs.

Drilled the front hole on the upper slightly off center sadly, but not because of the jigs, but because of my sucky-ass drill press. Probably could have done it straighter by hand, but a bit of widening with a needle file fixed it right up.

This isn't the upper that's going to be on the final final build anyway, so I'll do better once I get the upper with slightly more kosher markings in.

AIM-1/D needed a remote cable so I made one

(Redoing this as a separate post since the original post i reblogged from was kinda long) Some closeups on the Delta 723 Carbine Build with Gangster Grip, Aimpoint 5000, and AIM-1/D Laser on an old PAQ-4 Carry Handle Bracket. The lower was from intlmilco for those curious, and I was originally disappointed cause it came out more purple than grey, but one of the reference photos I've been using for this build (3rd pic above) appears to show a purple lower as well, so no harm, no foul.

That being said, eventually I should get a black anodized lower with A1-style buffer tube reinforcements to make this build just a hair more kosher since A4/M4 profile reinforcements weren't seen on these rifles. Will probably either have intlmilco make another one or I might just shell out the cash for a pre-ban lower and hide the incorrect markings with a redi-mag.

But for now, this is sendable.
