Posted: 6/11/2006 9:40:23 PM Finally got the "A1 Rifle Upper Series" finished up this weekend: This is the "A1 Rifle Upper Collection" Here is the Smooth/Slick Side Here is the Forward Assist Here is the Forward Assist and Brass Deflector I guess now I will have to go back and start trying to do things like cover all of the different flashiders. Of course I obviously could use some more A1 Lowers if anyone has any extras laying around not being used. Next I can also hopefully finish off the Carbines. Thanks to everyone for the great pics and motivation to try and catch up! "Capt Richardson"

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!

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

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 ?

Posted: 6/14/2006 12:57:42 PM [Last Edit: 6/14/2006 1:03:18 PM by MOMIL] 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 Here is a Kanaar manufactured M-79. Here are some other retro build I have done: Saco Defense Shop M-60:

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!

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.
