Nothing on the slab side. But PSA now owns Harrington and Richardson and they seem to have retro A1 clone lowers

Give it a gander and let me know if that's what you are looking for.

I received one of these two weeks ago. It had been on back order since December; I placed an order back then when they were last in stock. I left the order in place/paid and they shipped the backorders right away. They even sent me a nice 12" ff handguard from their 1st gen stock leftover, as a courtesy I guess for being patient - surprise to me it was in the box when it arrived. Acme did not need to do that as I didn't complain and fully knew the score when I ordered. I point that to out underline that they are a good vendor and you can trust them.

The quality is quite good and it fit very well on a couple different high-quality lowers I tested it on - Wilson, S&W, and a Windham. It could go on any of those lowers with very nice, tight fit and zero modification.

H&R/PSA is in effect a re-branding of NoDak Spud; Mike Wetteland took his molds, etc. to SC and set up shop to produce the H&R stuff under PSA. The quality is quite good. He said they would eventually get to a slab-side lower once demand caught up on other products and they routinely had stripped and completed lowers as well as complete rifles routinely in stock. They are slowly getting there. You are paying a premium price, but you are getting a premium product, too.

Here is a blem A1 lower in stock now:

Note it is black; they produce both gray and black so note that depending upon what you want. I got one of these in gray last summer and it was excellent, also. I very much wanted a "Commando" lower (correct for XM177E1 retro, though originals were all Colt to be exacting). However I failed to catch one of the first batch released and then (more of) the US Constitution was suspended in WA recently, so I'm not sure when I will be able to order one again.

PS - also thanks to OP for mentioning this. I did actually think of doing that when I got mine recently. I then didn't do it immediately and forgot. I appreciate the people who keep interesting deals posted as they do us all a big favor.

Very informative. Thank you very much.

Very informative. Thank you very much.

And thanks for posting that deal, because I was too lazy or forgetful to do it myself.

I should also point out the H&R 'blem' stuff is like most high-quality vendors' stuff. You will likely not be able to find the cosmetic blem, or not unless you look quite hard.

ETA: @CamoDeafie - I should point out, their XM16E1 lowers are correct partial-fence style. So if that was OK w/you it might work in lieu of a slab-side. Personally I prefer the partial-fence one myself so I was happy they already had these available periodically.
