After
Because the XM177E2 project is progressing I decided that Kaylee could wear more modern furniture.
She was intended to be as close to an XM177E2 as one could legally get with reasonably available parts. All those years in Iowa had taught me to not even consider a short barrel rifle.
Thanks to www.ar15.com I learned that making an SBR was perfectly legal in Florida and that vintage parts were "reasonably available". Couple that with NoDak-Spud making reproductions of the earlier style receivers and it made a far more accurate clone viable.
I am sure that everyone who's built more than one AR has a box of parts that came with the rifle kits they ordered and then started swapping out bits and pieces as preference and fashion shift and move. So the retro furniture is in the box and the modern M4 furniture is on the gun.
