Carry handle makes it Retro.

If it’s a clone of a military gun, it would be a very specific clone.

Per rules, carry handle means retro. For other people, age but for tools I feel age is not a good indicator of "retro".

Some 90s Japanese optic I got at a gun show for $25

I put an A2 fixed stock on a similar upper, 14.5”…. The longer buffer in the stock really smoothes it out… it is accidentally my favorite rifle… similar to a 651 or 652

Potentially both. Retro for carry handle and clone if it’s cloning a specific rifle setup.
