No really. I managed to get my hands on a certain set of parts belonging to a certain piece of unobtainium. The original handguard was chewed up and mangled, so a big thanks to HKParts for supplying the replacement handguard.
But let's take a step back. What exactly did I receive? An HK416C parts kit sans BCG and barrel, which could be problematic. The upper and handguard were pretty well chewed up and missing a decent amount of finish, so they are both getting an anodizing spa treatment before I use/figure out what I want to do with them.
I'm trying to work with Marvin Pitts to rebarrel this using an MR barrel or a substitute barrel and looking at my options as far as the BCG go. If all goes right, I can use the 416 BCG this surrogate upper is tied to without modifying it (likely using HKParts' buffered stock assembly). If not, more modifications ahead.
I'll keep you guys updated in this thread
