Mike @ NDS. Will you guys be making and more and putting the correct larger aperture?   Would make it easier to shoot also.

I’m pretty sure mine has the larger aperture. Didn’t compare to others but it seemed pretty large.

We are using the standard M16rear sight assembly we put on the other products.

I have no plans to tool up for the 9mm specific rear aperture.

Feel free to swap it out for an M16A2 with ghost ring if need be.

Thanks. Wasn’t complaining, just an observation. I appreciate what y’all have done for the retro line.

Hey Mike_NDS, are you going to release one in gray that has a non threaded barrel that is cut off more flush in front of the front sight (like the original).

Gray coming this spring/summer (as stated above). The original barrels weren't cut flush with front sight assembly. Unless you are talking about the version with the bell shaped handguard and completely different front sight.

I guess I shouldn't have used the word flush. Am I correct in thinking that the original DOE guns did not have as much barrel sticking out in front of the site as the threaded pda guns do?

Here are some pics of originals. The barrel isn't flush, but maybe the H&R sticks out a touch more? Not by much though, if so.

That is correct. The originals maybe stuck out 1/4” past the end plate of the sight. I have a reproduction that is correct… and just waiting on H&R to offer the handguards so I could lose the one-piece that I didn’t like.

While I think a “correct” version would be awesome, you do have to remember that H&R needs to be able to sell them. More people have suppressors now than they did prior, and you’d lose a lot of interest without a threaded barrel. Their decision to offer with a threaded barrel likely sells more units than if it was standard.

For the die hard collectors that want a correct DOE, I’m sure there are plenty more buyers who don’t care if it is correct. Same can be said with the new Marlin rifles. When I buy one, I want a threaded barrel so I can suppress it.
