Well after watching the video Mike is aware of us.

Two separate times “please don’t harass me on Arfcom.”

We do plenty of clone stuff, have you bought any of them?

I bought one of the 723 uppers, it is surprisingly accurate for a pencil barrel

That said, you deserve to have your peepee spanked for putting a tapered delta ring behind those A1 handguards

I've got way too much PSA stuff.   Just kidding no such thing.

I only have a few H&R things.  Upper, lower and stock.  I will buy a several braces when you have them.  I need barrels.  10,5'' and 11.5''.

I do like that JSOC FF tube.

NGL when I first saw the upper I had the intense desire to build a BLOPS M16 clone, just need to figure out how to mount a Brownells Retro optic to an ACOG base

Just got my “blem” M16A2 H&R lower. I can’t find the blem, looks great.

Can’t wait to turn it into a Gordy clone.

I don’t love that resto-mod look, but I do love the retro line overall.

I am curious about the gas block on that.  It's different than I expected.  Enlighten me when you have the time, if you don't mind.

Looks like a low-pro DPMS 3 set screw.

Someone played too much Call of Duty Black Ops.
That configuration is about as appealing as having a staring contest with a hairy asshole.

If someone wants to buy it more power to them though. Don’t hurt my feelings none.

It’s designed to cover up the whole FSB journal on the barrel. And yes, it has 3 set screws.

I’d buy several A1 front sights if they attached like that.

There might be an opportunity coming up for a mil-spec forged upper without a FA. It looks like Aero Precision is going to stop making them and very few other companies do at this point. Maybe they don't sell...?

Regardless of the appearance, it's a lot of metal, meaning weight, far out on the barrel negating some of the advantages of the pencil barrel. A chopped FSB like in the previous photo would be lighter.

Is that not some variant of a late-Vietnam era M16? I don’t care nearly enough either way to go digging through google but I’m sure I’ve seen similar uppers for special purpose scoped rifle applications from the 70s.

The triangle handguards look comfortable as fuck though. I shoot c-clamp and I bet it would fit my hand perfectly. If I hunted with a semi automatic I’d strongly consider buying this upper or one like it assuming it accomplishes what I need for twist rate, etc. But my favorite rifle is an old Bushmaster A2 from the 90s with an FSP mounted light and nothing else so my tastes clearly don’t line up with modern day doctrine.

The triangle handguard on my H&R A1 is pretty uncomfortable, the seam where the handguard halves meet is sharp in the hand which is annoying. The vent holes are also very sharp edged which would make a C-clamp very uncomfortable. It looks great but I am considering replacing them with a Magpul one for actual shooting.

A chopped FSB is also a lot more work.

I think it is because I sent a few colt uppers out to get low pro gas blocks pinned and every time I suggested cutting the A2 the guys say the low pro is better
