I’d like to build a retro type rifle too and have a chrome plated carrier.
I used to have a PWA parts rifle that had a YM fluted NM carrier in it and it was great, but I don’t care for the fluting. Reading about their slick side carriers that don’t have a cut out for the ejection port cover makes that a non-option.
Going to the SEI website, it doesn’t look like they’re offering their chrome B/BC parts any longer, Brownells does list them though.
ponomo, you mentioned the Ameetec carriers are made by young (which sounds great), and Praetorian55, you mentioned having a couple. Got any pics you could share? I’m wondering if these Ammetec units have flutes, a cutout for the ejection port cover, are M16 or AR-15, and have a covered firing pin (a la M16).
I’d really appreciate any help or insight you guys might have, thanks.
