Any idea of when we can buy a complete H&R M16A1? Thanks, 1981 |

Quoted: It really depends on parts sourcing. Maybe later in 2022. Not making any promises. Quoted: Quoted: Any idea of when we can buy a complete H&R M16A1?

Not even rollmarked. Lame. |

Quoted: Not even rollmarked. Lame. Well, to each their own…. I’m digging them and can’t wait to get my hands on several of them. These receivers will go great with all the other repo parts I have…. To build my repo retro rifles. I understand the purist desires to get as close as possible, but these will be mass produced items verse specialty items. There are other sources for retro receivers with roll markings, but you’re paying a serious premium price for that luxury and a serious wait times on top of that. I have ZERO doubts that these will be top selling items and in great demand, especially for guys like me… I’m more than fine that my retro build will not be exactly like the M16A1 I was issued in the Army back in 1980. Hell, I’m even going to have the Lower and Upper receivers, along with the Barrel assemblies Cerakoted!! If my retro build “looks” like a M16A1, at arms length, I’m good!! Plus, these laser engravings look better than the ones done on the original NDS retro AR receivers, IMHO. Yes, I too would like roll marked over laser engraved receivers, but times are changing in the mass manufacturing field. |

@mike_nds Congrats on joining JJE! After watching some of the SHOT Show coverage, I have a quick question; Would I be able to purchase a 10/22 type receiver with the rear sight, one-piece or two-piece and then add a front .920" sight to a third party barrel? If so, when would I be able to do that? Also, would that front sight work on an aluminum or carbon-tension type barrel? My goal is to build a very light-weight Appleseed type rifle for the kids. Thanks |

Quoted: H&R 301 in .300 Win built with an FN action I think limited edition runs in 7x57, 257 Roberts, and 6.5x55 would be sweet. Maybe even a 9.3x62. We would make the stock in a more classic style. The Weatherby influence is quite dated. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/91277/H_R_301_a-2215337.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/91277/H_R_301_b-2215338.jpg I'll bite... If you're going down the Mauser road, it could be cool to do a more interesting take on the Ruger Scout. Give it your NDS style sights and some kind of provision for optics mounting that doesn't involve a giant rail, and let it use a standard box mag of some kind. Maybe something that splits the difference between the Ruger GSR and... a FR7/FR8? Could be a fun path to explore.

Quoted: Mike - I know you're probably busier than hell right now, but a quick question: do you know offhand if there were any Nodak uppers in the white that didn't sell before the order cutoff date? If so, will those be available to purchase at some point? There are some, but I’d like to use them as test subjects for our in house anodizing line. |

Mike, I listened to the interview at shot and heard you say 20 inch barrels will be 1 in 12 twist. Is there any chance you will do 20 inch 1 in 7 twist? I know 1 in 12 is the correct twist for a clone, but 1 in 7 does offer some more flexibility with heavier bullets. Thanks |

I know 1 in 12 is the correct twist for a clone, but 1 in 7 does offer some more flexibility with heavier bullets. Thanks The stated barrel models will be the initial offerings. We have the ability to do any number of length/twist variations. Just need to be tight and focused at the start. |

Quoted: There are some, but I’d like to use them as test subjects for our in house anodizing line. Gotcha, I should have been quicker on the order when I had the chance! That said, if you have any 605s that come out a little wonky while you're dialing in the anodizing, I'll gladly buy one as a blem... |

I was living under a rock for the last month, apparently. This was the greatest news I found out while at the shot show yesterday. ETA: As much as I'm interested in a H&R m16a1, I would pony up for this too. Maybe beat PTR in getting one to the market? Bonus if it takes AR magazines like the Coharie CA53AR. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/hnr-t223-manual/ ETA2 I would also pay for a H&R T48 clone, if you guys want to get in the FAL game. |
|
Quoted: Definitely interested in the GX-5857 marked lower! Will this be limited or standard release? Is there a full 607 rifle planned? I think the best course of action on that one is to do just a stripped lower. Full guns would be too much investment for the number of sales. |
| I was content with retro builds I've done with NDS, Brownells, and McKay lowers. They'll stay as-built and I need another 20" rifle like I need a hole in the head. But I'm definitely going to find something to do with an H&R receiver set. For now I'm thinking either a Vietnamese M18 carbine that was posted awhile back, or some sort of IDF build. Also, there's always comments/requests for 1/7 twist barrels. Is there really that many guys wanting to blast 77 grainers through an iron sighted retro gun? |

Quoted: We will be marking all the lowers in the standard fashion. There will be: M16A1 XM16E1 XM177E2 Commando 601 GX-5857 Quoted: We will be marking all the lowers in the standard fashion.
