Older builds may be forgiven for using A1 receivers, but there's no excuse now given the availability of C7 receivers from LuthAR: (Note: This is identified as an A1 receiver on the site, but it is not - it is a C7). This is a key part of the build any other type (including A1) is wrong. This is clear the A1 carry handle/rear sight arrangement is obvious, as is the presence of the case deflector. Some parts remain unidentified or have no real source in those cases some suggestions are provided but the end choice is up to the builder. That said, it is possible to get a pretty good idea of the parts makeup of the NCR rifle.
This thread is intended as a reference for those wanting to build a clone of this rather unique rifle, as well as a way for those of us that have taken the time, effort, and money (this is not a cheap build) to go down this rabbit hole to show our work.Īpproaching an NCR Service Rifle build is confounded somewhat by a couple of factors first, Fallout's rather 'artistic' style of depicting weaponry, and second, Obsidian's need/want to reuse animations from Fallout 3. Any Fallout fan worthy of the name will recognize the iconic infantry rifle of the NCR military.
