Any idea where to get an M16A1 upper receiver without waiting 9 months or breaking the bank?

The Equipment Exchange, waiting for Brownells, searching local gun forums or Craigslist maybe, or pulling the cash in.

There are no online stores that are currently selling A1 receivers for cheap or have them on tap.

Looking on forums or local areas are your best bet for not paying an arm and a leg.

Damn forgot about that. Things to note, they are 604 style, without the forward assist. They are also black anodized, and the complete receiver has an A2 dust cover.

I got this guys info from John Thomas so I knew it was good to go!

SUPER nice. I don’t see an A1 listed but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one. He has A LOT of things for sale that aren’t listed on his website so a phone call is necessary. He picked the phone right up when I called.

I was searching for an aluminum stock for a Colt Commando build without breaking the bank. The stock I bought isn’t an exact match but it appears to be close enough for me! I just ordered it 2 days ago over the phone.
