"The Thompson and the Carbine and the Browning Automatic!"

The circle is now complete! My wish has come true, although I'd still like a woodstock version. Oh well!

LOL'd so hard! I can't wait for the mass production. Now for completing the British circle : Lee Enfield, Sten, Bren.

I think it was a very good idea to choose the A1 variant. Generally i prefer the normal wood stock without grip - but for minifigs the A1 is definitly the better way.

I am very happy Will has released another weapon with a wire stock because I couldn't bare myself to cut up my G36 for one

Yes!!!! I love this gun, I'm an M1A1 Carbine freak! I can't wait to attend more lego shows! (I can't come to Brickcon '09 anymore, but look out for me at Brickfair)

Awesome! I'd like to see it in brown, though, since it was mainly wood. although the gunmetal looks awesome! Also, with the pistol grip and wirestock removed, and a rifle stock added, an M1 Carbine is born. I hope that this is put in the WAW pack once it's released, or even as a LE item like the Combat Knife.

Yes, mine too. I hope that more will be shown to the public, though, because three isn't very many, compared to the other shows. Anyways, we'll have to take what we get, though, because all of these are awesome, there's just less awesome things, but we still have some awesome things, so lets be happy with those awesome things.

Huzzah! Good choice Will! This is a marvelous weapon, simply marvelous. The design is perfect! The gun is excellently scaled and proportioned, especially the ammo clip and the "base of the gun" itself. The wire-stock is beautiful, and can have limitless possibilities when modified...

Overall a fantastic weapon! It could use a little bit of work on the detail though. Maybe the Fabulous Will Chapman could possibly add a few notches and kinks to the gun.

This weapon is great. It's made without any scopes, etc, and can double as a WWII weapon all the way to modern warfare.

Original M1A1

M14 (Some medium range snipers used to employ)

Socom 2 Battle rifle (SEAL scout rifles)


and the list goes on.

Notice, Will made it flat on top, you can most likely use a U-Clip and attach a scope of sorts to it.

I just finished a GI JOE minifig that uses an M1A1!!!

Now he'll have the rifle to with him instead of an M4, assuming these go into mass production!

Awesome, it automatically goes into my top 10 Brickarms just from looking at it.

I think it that it would be better with the stock folded so it could attach to the bottom of the hand grip as well http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/images/M1a1Airborne/M1A1%20para-7.jpg

BTW Badger I think you should upload pics of the real gun when you unveil BAPs.

This weapon is perfect! I can't even spot one mistake!
One of the coolest BA weapons I've ever seen. Would also look great in brown.

I think this one is my favorite prototype (from BrickCon that is) so far Badger! :)
EDIT: Will it come in brown?

I'll also add that I think it should also have a normal version, will it come in a normal version?
