I know, but the one I got was only $15...I figure my powdercoater can blast it and coat it in semigloss and it might come out pretty close. Worth a try right?? |

Certainly worth a try. Good luck!

The barrel is a real 14.5", 1/7, Colt, skinny barrel. It came with the Phantom permanantly attached on it. What I would do is send it off to somebody to see if they could take it off without chewing up the threads. If it can be done, it would become a SBR and a real A1 hider. Now that would be an accurate repro, minus the fun switch. Thanks.....Chad |

Nothing to see here folks, move along...

Check the EE and Buddys board every hour or so for a couple of years and you may find a set. |

Those are beautiful. Do you shoot them, or do you build them for the nostalgia and the collector satisfaction? |

I have an upper half like that, but I didn't want to build it on an A2-type lower. Now maybe I'll have to, though. |

What exactally is the name of that particular carbine in this picture?
|
|
|
Which picture? If you mean directly above, it's a Colt SP-1
|
|
|
Nice! Gotta love those XM607 handguards... |

|
So what is the story on this one? Colt Model 610 / XM177 that had the 4.5" Moderator replaced with a Flashhider? That is VERY NICE! A lot of really great stuff, everyone please keep the great pics and info coming. Thanks, "Capt Richardson" |

Looks like an old upper with no forge code?
Never seen a CK upper with deflector, that is different. |

DAMMIT Buzgun!
You are going to have to stop posting pictures of those Lowers unless you are going to start selling some of them to the rest of us! That is some REALLY nice work! Thanks for showing it off, keep up the great work, "Capt Richardson" PS: I am willing to give you a down payment so that I can be first on the Lower order list! |

Capt. Richardson : thanks for the complement , and you are the guy responsible for these turning out nice as it was your photos that i used to copy from , So i would love to do one up for you - but i dont have a FFL to be working on / selling lowers - and I fear the Alphabet groups (like Dameon going to church) I live in Illinois and it is almost impossible to get the correct License for this |

Your semiauto XM clones are the best, thought that was a real one for a minute.
And where do you get those old no forge code uppers, I am having a heck of time getting enough for my projects. |

Ekie , i have had bad luck with the old no forge code uppers , the aluminum on them seems to be of a poorer quality - more susceptible to cracking and flaking away - i have had to weld repair several that were split in the rear take down pin area - i have examined alot of demilled No forge code uppers (C-& triangle) and if i did not know better i would say that they were cast - or made of a very poor & brittle aluminum and the outside of them- the aluminum appears to "flake" off - like a snake shedding its skin that one that i just completed seems to be a very early one - the rear of the ejection port is even with the contour of the lower receiver - i have only seen this in Capt. Richardsens black & white early 1960's photos -- maybe you could educate me on this ? |

I had these pics in the M-203 post but am moving it here as it is a little more appropriate for retro build section. Not all are M16's / AR's, but they are all Vietnam vintage weapons and go with the the theme. If they are out of place let me know and I will delete them.
This is a Colt XM-148 Grenade Launcher http://www.mooremilitaria.com/XM148.jpg Here is a Kanaar manufactured M-79. http://www.mooremilitaria.com/M79.jpg Here are some other retro build I have done: http://www.mooremilitaria.com/Commando%20Open.JPG http://www.mooremilitaria.com/XM177%20Closed.JPG http://www.mooremilitaria.com/XM177E2.jpg Saco Defense Shop M-60: http://www.mooremilitaria.com/M60.jpg |

MOMIL : AWESOME GATS !!! , i am your newest FAN !

Thanks Buzgun, but I have to admit that I am extremely impressed with your lower work. I have 6 semi-auto A2 lowers that have A1 uppers for work and would love nothing more than to have them worked over like yours. Unfortunately for me I have ZERO machine skills!

One change Colt made to ArmaLite's AR-15 was to go from 7075 to 6061 aluminum. The 6061 uppers and lowers corroded real bad in Vietnam, and Colt had to switch to using the correct 7075 in 1967. Have had plenty of ruined XM16E1 uppers myself. Only have one that survived in decent shape. |
