This probably doesn't exist, just a very niche build idea I've got, but I thought I'd ask around in case.

The goal is essentially this:

Except with decent modern plastic and not-1990s internals.

Anyone seen such a gun? Far as I know the original TM AR AEGs all inevitably go loose and floppy where the barrel meets the upper and where the buffer tube meets the upper and apparently in not all that long of a time span either; their old plastic on rifles is of course notorious for creak and just generally wearing down (even my NGRS SCAR-L stock was terrible and that may be old now but it's a lot newer than the 733).

I'd take a blank lower/no trades, can modify any other type of AR to change the forend setup and stock etc, just need the receivers to be fairly close to real Colt A2, not the typical modern Specna/DE/G&G fictional CoD-looking malarkey.

 
Golden Eagle do a plastic receiver as a replacement part for the TM (complete with fixings for the shitty old style split hop unit but they are all ABS (basically a direct replacement for the TM).

Maybe see if you can get a Specna Flex receiver but none of them are carry handle, just flat top MK18 style stuff or a 416-alike.
