    Alright, will do. It might be a few days or maybe even next weekend, but if I haven't posted anything by next weekend, shoot me a reminder.

    If the barrel is 16" or more, it doesn't need to be permanently attached. This is a 14.5" barrel, so it needed the birdcage to bring the barrel length to a legal 16". There is a mark on the bottom of the flash hider where it was soldered, making it permanent.

    Okay, as it turns out, I will NOT be finishing the modified front sight post project. Part of this build requires me to put on a FF handguard, and I can't do that without removing the front sight post. I can't remove the front sight post because the flash hider is welded on.... So it looks like I have to cut the front sight post off to take the existing barrel nut off so I can replace the handguards. This seems cheaper than cutting off the welded flash hider and then repairing and replacing it. Sorry I won't be able to follow through with the pics and the rest of the project.
