I'll have it Monday. Until then, stock photo below. I figured, might as well get a knife that goes on a gun. :) Once I placed the order, I had to face the harsh reality that it won't fit on ANY of my AR's. So, I decided to build an A2 to go along with it. Problem solved! The rifle should be done sometime this week if the barrel shows up.

All ready for pass and review!

The beginnings of the extended "handle".

It'll fit almost perfectly on a 16" midlength with milspec birdcage,  been thinking about getting one myself.

 

But of course building a new A2 rifle is the obvious solution for exact fit,  good choice!

 

Correct fit, on 14.5" carbine (A2 should look same):

 

 

On 16" midlength:

Yep. Don't have any .223 middies with an A2 sight. I had a stripped lower anyway, so you know how that goes. :) At least A2's are relatively cheap to build once you pop for the barrel.

[mikegideon]

Got it. It's a knife! :)

[Major Kong]

Build a gun to fit a knife-

I love the way you think Mike.

[mikegideon]

It's my first knife that's worth $1k :)

[mikegideon]

6-8 month lead time on the barrel assembly. Damn custom knives! :)

[mikegideon]

Update. Found a stripped A2 barrel at BCM, Better barrel, supposed to be in stock. Just gotta find a smith that can install the front sight base. Unlike most custom knives, you can fire their ass if they get slow. :)

I don't know where your located at, but there is a local shop here in Oliver Springs that does all manner of gunsmithing. Owner and gun smith is a former Marine. Its called Fighting Sheep Dog, tell them jordan sent you.

Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Tapatalk ate your spelling, and my location, eh? :) I'm in Nashville. It's probably gonna take an AR guy. Real unforgiving operation. You gotta drill the front sight base and the barrel at the same time, and then ream the holes for the taper pins. I may holler if I can't find somebody closer.

I should have all the parts early next week. Bravo is a little slow kicking things out the door right now. The frenzy ain't quite over.

[mikegideon]

A little more progress on the handle. Got the receivers built. Barrel shows up tomorrow, but I gotta send it back out to get the front sight base installed. These knives can be a pain in the butt...

Only you, Mikey!  :bowrofl:

 

Good thang all them other blades you've been buying don't fit on rifles! Though you might could find some custom brackets or something. :)

I've had an A2 on the list for a good while. Just needed a feeble excuse to pull the trigger.

[RichardR]

The A2 is my favorite AR variant, congrats on your new pig-sticker & best of luck on your build, I'm looking forward to reading your first range report when it's finally finished.

[mikegideon]

It should run like a scalded dog. All my others do.

That really looks sharp, Mikey, in more ways than one!

Thanks. The M9 is kinda sexy. The OKC is just scary looking.
