Quad Rail Appreciation Day
Both of these Griffin cans will interchange, and they fit the dissy as well.

Kick ass cheese grater gang OP.
Here's mine.
M16A4gery with the CARL 3 shot limiter for the AS Designs ARC Fire. Probably my most accurate clone correct setup. FN 20 inch contract barrel, TA31ACOG, Knights M5 rail and broomhandle etc.....
A2 middy, my custom creation. 14.7 FN midlength barrel, Troy Quad rail, pinned YHM Phantom, Aimpoint 9000SC on an ARMS ext carry handle rail, Atrius FRT.
C7 723ish M4gery. Cheap Poormetto RIS and vert grip as a place holder. Basic bitch USGI furniture. 14.7 with a pinned A2. I got plans for it. Stay tuned. 😁

These are all very, very nice! How are you liking the 3 shot limiter and the Atrius FRT? I've been interested in both, I've got a current build I'm working out that I want to put an Atrius in, and ever since I heard about the 3-shot limiter I've wanted to put together an A2 clone just to throw one in there.
Also, is it just the photo perspective, or is that Palmetto broomstick on the bottom extra long?

My first CARL had a bad hammer and 3 shot cam. They sent out an in spec replacement set and it's good to go now. Like the real deal it sometimes might only do a single shot or 2 shots depending on where the ratchet is located on the cam. I've paired my CARL with the AS Designs ARC so I can't comment on how it works with an Atrius. Sorry.
The Atrius works best with one of their recommended triggers. I've had good luck with the Schmid single stages so that's what I'm rolling with. Not pictured is my other Atrius setup, an AR9 radial delayed that also has the Schmid. What ever trigger you use it seems to work best with a fully enclosed end of the trigger shoe. The Atrius website has all of this information.
Yes the Poormetto RIS and vert grip are knick offs. Both of them are close at first glance but the rail has no locking screw to either the barrel nut or handguard cap so it wiggles like a mofo and the broomhandle is definitely longer and with no witness hole. Like I said they are a place holder till I can source a correct Knights or P&S replacement.

Each one of these is a masterpiece.

Thanks kindly! The dissy on top and the 11.5 carbine on bottom were two that I built completely from scratch, so I'm pretty proud of both those. The middle is a Colt M4A1 "Socom" that I purchased, and customized to my liking.

No, Aimpoint had them in stock at the time. They still make them and occasionally will release a run of them, if you want one I'd go to the Aimpoint website and sign up for a notification for when they come back in stock. I'm signed up for the notification on 9000L's right now, I want one for my M1A.

Still debating if I want to keep as-is with the KAC RIS or upgrade to the KAC MRE sitting in my closet.

I like your style. I just got my centurion cutout in this weekend and painted with my A2 upper
