Also, will you sell the brace separately? I like the design and would like to upgrade from my Magpul BSL.

I am sure it will be sold soon. Might be a couple of possibility. 1. After SHOT show, the gun fund went to spend on latest and greatest new products. 2. Early in the year, average people are struggling with bills on spending in last holiday season (Nov/Dec). Not all of us have unlimited fund setting aside.

I think its partially those reasons but it could also be that most people finally have finished their builds and don't need the carry handles as much. (I'd figure most people want one or two carry handle guns and move on) My other idea is that maybe people are patiently waiting for something specific like Gray C7s or the DOE uppers.

When you're playing the retro build game, you buy what you can when it's available. It's rarely all available at once.

The H&R LPK in excellent quality. The BCG is very nice as well. The roll mark on the bolt is a nice touch.

Well if the 9mm magazines are as good as the blem lower is that are perfect.  I picked up my "blem" H&R lower today, it is better than any of the brand new AR's I got in Army.  That go's for Colt's a2, M-4, M-4a1 and FNa2s..... dang I was issued many rifles I guess that's why I want so many different AR'S now.

Just wondering, but will we see some gray anodized 9mm specific uppers (no gas tube hole, no cam pin channel)?
I got in on the gray H&R 635 lower real early on (nice low serial) and been sitting with my black 633 upper from Garrisonmfg (which is a generic 604 receiver) for 2 years now... Gotta get this thing all gray!

Any chance we'll see 10/22s from PSA anytime soon?

I'd love an option to get a factory 10/22 with Nodak sights

Well I think this is the last time I buy a blem from H&R. I was looking forward to a gray receiver. I already have a black M16A1 upper and lower. They sent a note saying that it's still gray, but at the darker end of the range............except it isn't gray, it's fucking black.

So sell it and buy another one. Or return it.

Better yet, keep bitching about it... I'm sure someone will listen to you eventually.

I've already contacted them, but this thread is about H&R. Is it not? More of a warning that they'll sell a matte black receiver listed as "gray". Anyways, enjoy!!!

PSA will take care of you. I’ve seen other stores that tell people to f- off on blems/used guns.

Yes it went up last year or so. There are still occasional free shipping lowers but most are that high per now no matter how many.

Yeah. Grey does what it wants. I have one that's two tone. I ordered a blem and got a blem. If you're not happy with it, shoot it with Moly Resin.

I guess. But 72.00 to ship 4 stripped lowers is a tad excessive. But thats a convo for another section and I did post it in the PSA section.
As far as the gray lowers go. I have 8-10 that I have purchased since the first batch to present. They are all different shades. That said held agaist the black ones you can tell black is definately black so hold it next to a black anodized lower. If it is even one shade lighter then its gray. May not be the gray you want but that is a crap shoot. It doesnt both me as I paint everything anyway. I do have a couple that were really nice shades of gray that I built out with gray parts and left them unpainted but for the most part everything gets paint.

 Try soaking it in ice machine cleaner mixed with water.  It will lighten the grey.  It will make black look grey also like these, done for around 30 min with 9oz cleaner to 3 qts water:

It would be great to have a 12.3” instead. Paired with a 4.5” moderator (and minus a half inch overlap at the threads), would reach 16.1”

Don’t need to give more than required., especially almost 3/4 of an inch.

I didn't put an address on the individual Form 1 for my Commando lower and ATF approved it in 12 days. It just has HARRINGTON AND RICHARDSON, UNITED STATES in the 'name and address of original manufacturer' field. I don't see any reason why you couldn't do the same on the RPQ.
