Not really retro, but I like A1 furniture because the handguards are more comfortable and the A1 stock doesn't have that poky buttplate on the A2.
Attached File Off topic but, does anyone know where to get the triangle carbine handguards? I bought this pair in the EE. Attached File |

Picked up an A1 when Brownells was doing a sale a month or two back. They’re beyond cool. I guess it joins my A2 as another ‘vintage’ rifle, which sucks, since an A2 was my issue at boot camp. I guess I’m getting old

I literally want to kick myself in the head for not buying the $325 surplus M16A1 uppers that were available not too long ago.
They may be gone forever now. The Brownells stuff is very cool though. |

I LOVE the retro stuff! This is the only one I own thou, Colt 6520, it's the gun I dreamed of owning when I was kid :) I wish N1 stocks weren't so stupid expensive.

I assembled this from parts I bought all over. I was trying to get as close to a Colt 654 as I could without getting crazy about it. When all else fails, call it a GAU-5 clone, right? Attached File

I have a Fulton Armory A1 wannabe over my pool cue rack.
Im gonna end up spending some coin at Brownells though. |

Quoted: The original was "slab sided" yours has reinforcements around the magazine release. View Quote The lower that Troll has is a modern A2 lower and an E type stock which would not be correct, but some guys are just happy with the retro look and not overly concerned about correctness and that is okay. This is my clone of a transitional XM16E1. Most parts are original Colt except for the lower receiver. Attached File Attached File |

What you are calling a 605 is far from being so. It is more like a Model 652. This is a 605 clone. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/76904/605b_JPG-934963.JPG View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
