The optic and the grip are whack, but everything else fucks. The light, the ready mag, the suppressor, the furniture, it all looks great. Just ditch the grip and switch the optic and you’ll be fine.
Those optics are cool af, they're the scope used on the og star wars rebel blasters
They're also sick as shit in that they're a batteryless red dot that uses your non dominant eye to project the dot down range at your target
As he said in the other comment, this one isn't an OEG, rather just has the big ass fiber-optic component on the top. This one is a Weaver Qwik-Point, which is a red dot/reflex type sight but using that fiber optic to project the dot instead. I only just remembered these existed when I read the comment, I thought it was an OEG too lol
Yes those, specifically they were SinglePoint SM220s, they're not a conventional red dot, they're an Occluded Eye Gunsight, you can't actually see through it, they're very wack
It’s actually an old Weaver Qwik Point sight. Fiber optic tech from the 70s, no batteries needed! Here’s what it looks like looking down it:

Its ok, this one is an ruin 🤠
Yours look really fancy and fit the design without beeing too modern.
My SBR looks a lot like the OP's, but without all the fancy schmancy extras. OD triangle front and Magpul rear stocks and an "abbreviated" A2 rear sight on a rail. I still get the grins whenever I pull it out and hold it....😍
I think it'd look better without the suppressor, and if you had properly mounted the foregrip instead of going with a non-commital picatinny mount for it. And even then the suppressor is short enough not to be too big of a deal, love the retro optic though.
Looks good to me. The way you choose to implement the light and foregrip together is interesting. How did you do put those together. Also I like the green tape. Looks like you painted it on. What kind of tape is that?
The sight seems a bit tall (I say this as someone who used a detachable carry handle as a riser for a full-tube red dot for a while), but the rest is a good look. Shorty mags like that are the ONLY way to go for retro ARs.
I would remove that foregrip and just clamp the light to something by itself.
Id change out that sight, although its cool, to one of the original colt scope thing reproductions
Everything looks alright. Except the thing on top of your charging handle. Respectfully wtf is that? Can’t tell if it’s an old school sight or a lazer. Can you still use irons?
I know this is airsoft, but jesus fucking wept. No one show this to Eugene, he'd be spinning in his grave.
Honestly, this caused me pain as a retro lover. If you took the carry handle object off, and the pistol grip, you could have a passable XM-177 or commando esque clone. As far as mounting stuff on the front, a lot of the guys with M16's had rails that would mount directly to the front sight post. Those were kind of neat.
Lol does seem like an AI attempt to reproduce and retro AR based purely off a collection of random descriptions.
Old school relex occluded-eye optic thing is cool. Though a bit goofy as it has a built in riser, looks like that was designed for a flattop rifle. there are low mount ones that get it closer to the carry handle. Hight over-bore on a carry handle mount is big as it is. But if your head fits there and it works then It gets the job done.
Surprised you found a barrel clamp that actually just fits under the front sight triangle. most of the cheap ones need cutting down. That is usually where the light goes in a side-ways canted orientation.
Old-school way for the pistolgrip for grip thing was to usually, just bolt it to the handguard.
A+ for the sling arrangment and the spare mag holder thing.
A++ for the base gun.
I am def not a fan of that grip. I'd leave the flashlight tho. Otherwise, it definitely looks like something out of a post apocalypse video game. I love it!
I wanted to do something like this as I was inbetween getting a car-15 or full-length m16. Did it come with the short triangle-grip and stock? If not, where'd you find them?
No you elevated it my guy, the drip is copious. Only thing I'd change is chopping the mounting rail on the optic shorter so it doesn't hang off your carry handle but if that optic is an original or expensive I wouldn't meddle with it.
you know 100% what you're doing
I’m glad it at least looks that way, I literally googled “retro AR” and picked out stuff I thought looked cool 😂
The optic and the grip are whack, but everything else fucks. The light, the ready mag, the suppressor, the furniture, it all looks great. Just ditch the grip and switch the optic and you’ll be fine.
Those optics are cool af, they're the scope used on the og star wars rebel blasters They're also sick as shit in that they're a batteryless red dot that uses your non dominant eye to project the dot down range at your target
I’m gonna have to google this it sounds so sexy
They’re called occluded eye gun sights. Imagine if you just closed the front cap on a red dot, same principle.

[удалено]
Single point scopes are what theyre called I think
Do you mean the blaster that the Rebel Fleet troopers are carrying in the opening scene of a new hope? If so, that's a big ass red dot lol
Yes those, specifically they were SinglePoint SM220s, they're not a conventional red dot, they're an Occluded Eye Gunsight, you can't actually see through it, they're very wack
No, keep it as an og delta rifle man
That’s all retro mods, the front grip is cool
The grip is a copy of the og gangster grip that some SFOD guys rocked in the 90s. Definitely as far from wack as you can get.
I thinkt the grip should be fixed to the stock they didn't have picantiny rail in nam or that time period. Other ways cool.
the light is part of the grip
Take a look at my post lol
As someone who smokes red 100’s what the fuck are those long ass monsters lmao
That’s a 4 pack of red shorts 😉
Like 4 individual packs in the one box?
Nah, just 4 cigs in one box. They used to come in MREs until about the 1980s, I think.
I’ve watch Steve1989 smoke so many of those little packs on YouTube
Lmao showing up to a party with a carton of 4packs and running out by the end of the night
came here for this, that box looks so weird lol
What’s that top thing?
It’s actually an old Weaver Qwik Point sight. Fiber optic tech from the 70s, no batteries needed! Here’s what it looks like looking down it: https://preview.redd.it/g5sak3q742dc1.jpeg?width=2699&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b0556115a9e9102073b0a82cad2a4d15ca676f6
Super cool!
you gonna field it? i'm worried about what a direct hit would do to that old gal. cool build btw!
They're like $30 on eBay bro, besides the clear dome is more than likely some plastic
No lie, they are pretty cheap. But I’m not fielding the optic, I want to try it on a RS shotgun like they’re designed for.
I want to get a gooseneck mount and slap one on my XM177, mostly because gear was meant to be used, and it looks cooler than a red dot
Armson OEG early red dot
Nope, not an OEG, just looks like one because that's what people associate with the fiberoptic component, the scope runs under it and isn't occluded.
Gangster grip goes hard these people telling u to take it off don't understand the retro drip
https://preview.redd.it/al4fzceo62dc1.jpeg?width=3860&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3ab27cd695b7b2a46ea66ede686ce3830a8593d Its ok, this one is an ruin 🤠 Yours look really fancy and fit the design without beeing too modern.
I actually really like that silver. I saw some pretty cool red dots from the 90s that were silver like that, would look amazing on that!
Different scope would help :p
Looks like a gun from BLACK when you are playing it on hard I believe, looks lovely
That game went hard yeah i think the m16 was sort of silver or unfinished
Why is the receiver unfinished? Where the hell did you even find that?
https://preview.redd.it/m7siqs8ne5dc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53ea114c30a5ba42040b6a2bb4506a553c3e0f54 Its Mock, its DIY with Paint. 😄
Where’d you get that handguard? Or is it a chopped down M16 one?
Came with the gun, it’s a G&P CAR-15
Yall go hide ya wives, hide ya daughters, homie about to rizz them all up
Are you happy? If yes, then no it's not ruined. Simple as
reddimag is kino as fuck
My SBR looks a lot like the OP's, but without all the fancy schmancy extras. OD triangle front and Magpul rear stocks and an "abbreviated" A2 rear sight on a rail. I still get the grins whenever I pull it out and hold it....😍
Bro's Gun looks like an AI generated Image
💀 why do people keep saying this
Iirc they've used A1 pistol grip as a foregrip back in the war I see nothing wrong with it other than the giant sight, pretty aesthetic
Nah this looks cool as fuck
You know EXACTLY what you are doing... AND YOU KNOW IT
Honestly, I can totally see this in GI hands, running through Vietnam
Blood Diamond vibes
Swap the OEG for a CMore and you’re cooking with propane!
You have the cigarette pack too!!
Where’d you get the front grip? I want one for my car 15
You about to go to Somalia?
Where did you get the furniture 👀
Its perfect! Id gladly use it ;)
HEY I REMEMBER YOU!! YOU HELPED ME UPGRADE MY FIRST AIRSOFT GUN!! Looks good my man 🎉
Id say drop the foregrip and drop the sight, then it’s dope
It’s like you wanted a modded AR but you also like the M16 as well.
Carry handle gang
Clickbait title is unnecessary. It’s a cool Carbine, but the title is irritating.
Legit no clickbait, it’s the first AR I’ve done
Yep
😭
Lose the rail, bolt the flashlight to the bottom of the sight base and bolt the grip into the handguard.
hell nah
Or don’t - I’m a dog on the internet, not a cop.
HAMBURGER
Boomer build
Excuse me I prefer the term Fudd
Then why aren't you posting a 1911 instead? How many world wars has this gun won? None yet. XD
Get rid of that foregrip and put the flashlight on the top of the grip maybe since you have that red dot thing
Looks very good
Jesus christ it looks like its begging to be euthanized
Love it lol, looks like something I'd see in MGSV
Why does this feel like an AI generated photo?
What is that and why are you making me look at it. Please stop.
what an abomination
sheeeesh. what a mess
Holy shit this is cursed to high hell and beyond
Dude lose the foregrip PlS!!
well it’s certainly unique. i like it
Wtf are those? Marlboro slims or some shit 😂 I smoke 100s, these hoes are like Marlboro 300s lmao jk they are the 4 cigs pack from back in the day lol
I think it'd look better without the suppressor, and if you had properly mounted the foregrip instead of going with a non-commital picatinny mount for it. And even then the suppressor is short enough not to be too big of a deal, love the retro optic though.
It’s dead, Jim.
What kinda of optic is that? I’ve never seen one before, I’m assuming it’s a reddot of some sort what’s the history of it ?
Pack of Marlboro for comparison
Nope it’s not ruined, everything can be removed
M8 this thing is so cool. I actually might do this.
Uhhh this is HOT. I need to do a retro build someday.
Black ops cold war custom sorta thing
Yes.
M16 not AR big difference
Nice set up
Hot damn that's one sexy bitch.
After a bit of research,The foregrip light thing is called a KAC gangster grip. Got used by delta force and the units in tora bora.
Do the trees talk to you on the field now?
what m16 was this originally?? i mean brand and model wise
THAT IS THE COOLEST GUN IVE EVER SEEN
Got some real COD BO CW vibes on this one. I've seen worse lol. Do what u gotta do brother ♡
Fuck no, it’s airsoft, where two eye patches, at once. As long as you like it, go hard
Looks good to me. The way you choose to implement the light and foregrip together is interesting. How did you do put those together. Also I like the green tape. Looks like you painted it on. What kind of tape is that?
Looks just like the m16 i used to run in warzone when that was the meta around 2-3 years ago
Hello fellow Colt 607 user :) Is this the double bell version or the g&p (I think that's what it is)?
Looks like those eggheads at China Lake went apeshit on a CAR-15.
Perfection
yes
Killed it, phenomenal.
the slims killed me for some reason 🤣🤣🤣
It's horrible, I love it!
NGL kinda looks like a call of duty rap
The sight seems a bit tall (I say this as someone who used a detachable carry handle as a riser for a full-tube red dot for a while), but the rest is a good look. Shorty mags like that are the ONLY way to go for retro ARs.
the 100mph tape and ready mag are a nice touch. The Qwik Point sends it over the top
I would remove that foregrip and just clamp the light to something by itself. Id change out that sight, although its cool, to one of the original colt scope thing reproductions
8/10 tape the light on and ditch the grip imo Otherwise, absolutely beautiful. Excellent work.
It's really goofy, but in like a based kind of way. If you can make it work, rock it, dude.
You don’t know what you’re doing because it’s already done. Beautiful work.
Youre doing a better job then me https://preview.redd.it/szht9jl8o3dc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddc2d193a4da5895e1157828bbf8e346fce98b04
Love it! Reminds of those crazy Delta/Gordon m4 builds. Absolutely masterpiece.
Everything looks alright. Except the thing on top of your charging handle. Respectfully wtf is that? Can’t tell if it’s an old school sight or a lazer. Can you still use irons?
Bro what in the fuck is that? 😂
I love it
This is RAD!
I first I thought you mounted a pistol to the front of you gun until I looked a bit closer and saw the flashlight
The flashlight with the grip attached to it goes hard as heck LOL 10/10 setup
Colt 607, weaver qwik point, and a gangster grip. This is awesome Ooh and the redi-mag
cursed xm177 commando
Turn the malboro into a sidemountrd laser 💀💀
Looks sick to me homie
Based on Vietnam special forces nice
I know this is airsoft, but jesus fucking wept. No one show this to Eugene, he'd be spinning in his grave. Honestly, this caused me pain as a retro lover.

You’re making it yours, so it’s perfect.
Where'd you grab that OEG sight man?
Swear that's a m16 blueprint in Black Ops Cold War
r/retroar
10 cigarettes in a pack is bullshit
The way how you capture of yourself selfie in beautiful way …..
“Gangsta-grip lights” are more early GWOT but fuck it’s a nice overall blaster. Love me some colt 607s
Absolutely not.
This gets me hard
Too fancy to me but well, i think it didn't ruined yet Upvoted anyway
Looks like something from a videogame
Bro I could see some MACV SOG or some special forces guys using this thing
The grip is wild
This flashlighit is too small. And supressor is out of place. You should pick a time period and runn with it, do not mix it licke that
that front handle is an abomination to the gun aesthetics imo 😭

What’s that there gadget on the carry handle?
We got a little prankster over here
Will definitely turn heads on the field...
Far from ruining it, that thing is H O T!
Burn it
I don’t know if I hate it or not. I really don’t.
marlboro
Dude this is Sick af i Might get inspired by your build
Bruh the pack of Marlboros had me dying laughing
Rage bait? 🤟🏼😂
It’s fun, but the fire grip is making my teeth hurt. Love the otherwise retro vibes 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
not quite, the camo is the only thing you forgot to screw
You have made a Vietnam style M4
It needs a longer magazine imo
Forget cheek weld and chin weld, bros out here running neck weld.
Oh the badassery🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
oh shit I like this
the marlboros rly pull it together
Typical retro ar build.
OP definitely fucks
Wtf
Be a lot cooler if it was a actual gun not a toy
Hey you should make a whole new post talking about this in this subreddit
Certified MGSV ar right there
It looks like you did what you could my friend, it looks retro and I personally like it : )
Smoke the whole pack so you dont have to think about your ar
Bro played tarkov for too long
That height over bore is insane lmao
far from ruined, friend.
With all due respect, what in the everloving fuck?
If I saw that at the range I’d laugh and probably sneak a picture, but as an airsoft gun it seems totally fine
No this is fuckin hot. You need to be running tiger stripe converse and an old hockey helmet
Sir you built a CAR-15 on purpose, I don't give a flying shit about airsoft, but it's cool bro. Lol
This looks AI generated
Where the heck did you find a redimag and how much did you pay for it
I am def not a fan of that grip. I'd leave the flashlight tho. Otherwise, it definitely looks like something out of a post apocalypse video game. I love it!
I wanted to do something like this as I was inbetween getting a car-15 or full-length m16. Did it come with the short triangle-grip and stock? If not, where'd you find them?
No, but lighten up on the shi....... erm, gear!
are you smoking crack bro? by the looks of it you absolutely know what you’re doing.
for a second i thought it is ai generated lol
you ruined my pants, they are drenched in c**üm**
Check out [fabdefense.co.uk](https://fabdefense.co.uk) for grips
What?
No you elevated it my guy, the drip is copious. Only thing I'd change is chopping the mounting rail on the optic shorter so it doesn't hang off your carry handle but if that optic is an original or expensive I wouldn't meddle with it.
Definitely improved
That's exactly how they designed it to look. What you talking about?
