GRAY H&R M16A1 BLEM UPPERS ARE LIVE! Priced at $139.99, I just snagged one and received a confirmation moments later. I'm so excited! Now, I'll be waiting only for the gray anodized A1 receiver tubes, when and IF those become available.
THANKS, MIKE, for ALL that you do!! |

20” AR’s are honeys.
Flat top with an acog and a 77gr bullet and they’re delightful. |

I just received my H&R PSA M16A1. The port door, forward assist, bcg, trigger and pins, are all black. Or appear to be black. Could anyone tell me if these are parkerized or nitride? If parkerized then I'd try some naval jelly to lighten it up.

The are parked. I used some vinegar to lighten them up. Putting it in and checking every few minutes so not to over lighten. I then got some zinc phosphate from brownells and did a correct style safety, and the FCG pins while I was at it. They came out good, it's easy to do.

Back in the day, I've used naval jelly to simply wipe off the black to reveal a nice dark grey... Never tried vinegar. Same process? Does it strip to bare metal, requiring a refinish?

PSA customer service guy told me the reason my blem 635 won’t close on any lowers I have is because the HR 635 lower is different. I am assuming he is mis informed?

Im sure this has been discussed here before but were there any H&R M16A1's that had the Type "E" buttstock? Would it have been possible some of the last ones were fitted with this buttstock? Im asking because I have original Type "E" furniture I plan on putting on my H&R clone.
Thanks for the clarification
