Decided to forgo a faux "moderator" on this. I like the symmetry of the 11.5" bbl with the stock extended.

The EDRL jacket is one I brought back in '69.

I only recently seriously started looking at H&R stuff after taking a break from a flintlock I'm working on, and my wallet has been on fire.

Long time coming for this one. This started off with a NOS/Surplus A1 1/12 barrel from the EE 10 or more years back.  I've had it on various builds over the years but never in true A1 form.  Thanks to @mike_nds for bringing this stuff to the market solely to allow me to finish this (mostly).  Appreciatecha.    Finally got my A1 lower to mostly finish this one out.

H&R A1 Upper & Charging Handle
Teardrop forward assist from AR15Discounts
Standard modern ejection port cover with the finish tweaked a bit
H&R A1 Lower
H&R A1 LPK
Surplus A1 type E stock
Surplus A1 handguards
Surplus A1 grip
Flat slip ring from Doublestar
Colt A1 1/12 barrel
A1 birdcage complete with a futuristic crush washer

Guess this would make this a mid-70's A1?  I'm no expert.

I'd still like a small latch style ejection port cover if anyone ever gets them in stock again.

In the mad dash to snag an A1 upper a few weeks ago, I accidentally bought a slick-side upper.  I had no other choice than to put together a GUU 5/P-ish build.  Lower and LPK came in today.

(Let's just ignore the Phantom flash suppressor and Bushmaster 1/9 barrel.   )

H&R clone builds.



Had the 177 for a while, but was using an M16A1 lower since they didn't make the 177 lowers yet at the time. I recently got a 177 lower so I switched that out. And since there's only one thing to do with a spare lower...
