Build: Jolly AR-15

Edit: After a close look at my upper, it appears I have a non-M4, no extra cuts in the front inner face where the barrel extension will go.

So you should be OK with either an M4 or regular extension.

That's what I got from the image you posted, thanks!

How hard are those extra cuts to add? Can the be Dremeled by an amateur, or do they really need done by a smith?

How much difference do they make?

Well, starting to get the empty holes in the lower filled... Just trying to figure out how to get the bolt catch in without a roll pin punch, vise, or action block, lol. So far I haven't done bad, dad is a machinist/diemaker, so I've been taught well, and haven't gotten in a rush yet.

Now that I've got a job starting Monday, hopefully soon I can get some proper tools and move right along...

I think a workbench will be the first order of business, as I might have my computer desk sold...

Necro Rezzing this with new pics, got my barrel, lower together, slapped an A2 stock on for now just to make it look "complete". All I need is my Magpul PRS, BCG, and scope mount...

Also has Forward assist installed (thanks Doublestar!)
Spike's Jolly Roger ejection port door
KNS Mod 2 Gen 2 anti-rotation pins

Will explain what I've learned after the pics, lol... Other than this thing is a heavy BEAST!

I've learned that even a rifle length handguard doesn't look right on a 26" heavy barrel...
Looks like I'll have a YHM up for sale or trade...
