Old School AR-15

[cavalryman40]

My retro rifle. The A2 grip has since been replaced with the proper A1 grip. I still need to pick up a 20 round mag.

OK so the cheek piece is not right on mine. ....and this one should have a birdcage flash hider I think. Three prong FH and forward assist do not go together unless someone can prove to me otherwise.

COLT SP1

Those are sweet...

Would it be bad of me to build another one???

Make hay while the sun shines, Mike.

I'd comment on reviving a thread that was almost two years since its last post, but it was an enjoyable read, so...

That's a laser... Coctailer, they make em smaller nowadays you know. Or does it go with your LP and 8 Track collection?


Here is my replica M16A1. Eagle Arms lower and Colt M16A1 upper receiver and barrel with Bushmaster BCG.

Well, I picked up the first part of my retro build today. Three early 70's US Army Colt AR-15, 5.56 marked 20 round straight mags. Its a small step, but you've got to start somewhere...

My BRD disease started in gunsmithing school when I took the multi-day Colt M16 armorers course. The retro thing is something I've been wanting to try next. I need to research which style (60X?), as I'm not as familiar with the old stuff as I am with the new stuff...

I have one "retro" but it is a Colt SP1

I had an A1 cause I never thought I would have an SP1 but I got made a deal I could not refuse. After getting the SP1 I ended up selling off my A1, but I still have a few other AR's

Someone needs to make one with a grenade launcher

An associate of mine has a really beautiful CAR-15/XM-177 style AR. It's an original factory rifle from the 70s or something, but it's still a semiautomatic, 'style' rifle. Regardless, he's even got a retro .45ACP upper as well. Brutal. I'll get some pics soon.

It's got the long CAR/XM flash suppressor on it, like this...

Off-topic, but..
IDF?

 

[MountainBear]

I like the carbine models with the long flash hider (XM-177, 609, 610, 619, 620, etc). Mayhaps I'll try that one next. I tend to pick up parts at most the gunshows I go to. A piece here and a piece there and I'll have it done...

Has anyone used the NoDak Spud retro receivers for their builds? Look like they have a huge selection, but I worry about "off-brand" receivers.
