Took in a factory Alexander Arms M4 upper, here is the "before" photo



Performed the following waredrobe changes:

• Rifle Length DoubleStar handguard, smooth varmint style contour

• Yankee Hill low profile gas block to allow for the handguard to slide over and conceal

• Installed 2 picatinney rails into the available slots on the front of the handguard

• Pulled the barrel and polished the feed ramps

• Used a 1/2x28 TPI Kaw Valley muzzle brake, rethreaded to 9.16x24, honed out a crush washer

• Custom laser etched dustcover, outside and inside

• BCM Mod3 Large Latch charging handle

• Used a Yankee Hill beauty ring, it was too large so I milled it down and press fitted with locking agent

• Reassembled - it can wear either an LW15 polymer M4 lower or A2 lower.

That's some serious hardware. Good transformation.

Nice, very nice. Adding the YHM end ring is a nice touch. I'm assuming the muzzle brake was originally for a 223, did you have to drill it out for the 6.5 bullet?
