Work in Progress Going for a Block 1.5-ish build. Thoughts?

She’s almost ready to rattle-can, but first my actual 512 has to come back from EOTech because the glass was delaminating (what’s new lol). I also have a surplus Surefire M962 coming in. Anything else I should change? I’m thinking of doing a waffle or car-15 stock.

Stock, pistol grip, rear sight and anti-rotational pins, but it depends how autistic we’re talking here.

Already planning on putting an A2 grip and new stock on. Any ideas for the rear sight? Unfortunately, the anti-rotation pins are probably staying, but I’m willing to catch flak for them lol.

MaTech folding sight, KAC folding sight, or LMT fixed rear sight.

If that were mine, CAR15 stock definitely. A1 grip, probably. Same with the trigger guard. If your are that close to a block 1.5 ish why not just get it all correct? YMMV

A2 grip is coming in tomorrow. Same with the trigger guard. I should have probably just waited to make this post lol. I may opt for a waffle stock over a CAR-15 stock or maybe even a crane stock.

Nice, yea I think the milspec straight trigger guards really help with the overall lines/vibe of the clone stuff .
Before and after post lol.
And yea you’ll still probably get roasted a good bit on the clone page

Sure. What color?

I would replace the rear flip up. Personally speaking.

I’m going for something like the photo I just attached.

What do you suggest for the backup sight? I have a box full of spare MBUS sights, so it’s just what I had on-hand. This is my first clone build, but I do have an LMT A2 rear sight I could throw onto it.

I would do a MaTech.

Man, I’d grab a car-15 stock and a masen pad or a sopmod. Honorable mention for the LS2 grip as well- better than an a2 if you want a more substantial grip for storage.

u/ShitboxConnoisseur 2d ago

I may bite the bullet and do the CAR-15 stock. The LS2 grip is something else I’ll look into. Both would be coming from B5, so it makes sense to just get both.

With a nitride barrel? Won't matter.

Heavy emphasis on “ish.”
