Mike When do you estimate the 2nd batch of lower recievers to be in for H&R to sell? I won't be able to get in on the first batch of 100 when you get ready to sell them. Hot water blew in house. Had to replace it $1100 bill to pay. Do you think August for the 2nd batch of lowers to be avaliable? |

Do you think August for the 2nd batch of lowers to be avaliable? I don’t know yet. Lower production had to focus on standard parts because of the recent events. |

Mike, I appreciate the reply. Can you let people know on this thread when you do have an answer to production? People are going to fighting over the 100 lowers you do have now. The Plumbers took all of my funds for a new hot water heater and install. I want 3 of the m16a1 lowers for myself in the grey 2 M16e1 lowers when you around to them 2 601 lowers 2 M16a1 lowers in the black for a late a1 builds So I hope production begins soon? I hope you have parts going be at least Sept of 22? |

It was a retro hot water heater, that's why it broke. GD can help you with your sensitivity.

On a serious note, Mike, I know you previously stated you had put in a PO for C7 uppers, do those look like they have any chance of coming in before the end of the year? |

Very excited about this, I think you have really hit on a vacancy in the AR market. It has been impossible to find anything but a flat top upper for a while now. I hope you guys sell these as fast as you can get them made for years to come. -Mike |

Are these for the stripped upper/lowers or will they be complete (ie, trigger, stock, buffer/tube for lower and forward assist, dust guard, and sights for upper)? |

Everything stripped at the moment - last Mike posted, he's still trying to arrange small parts for full rifle builds. Originally Posted By coltfan3000: Mike Are these going to be posted on your website or you provide a link to buy directly from PSA? Also, can you put one per customer on the lowers at least 100 different buyers will be able to get 1 lower? Per other posts by Mike, they'll be listed at H&R with a link to PSA for the purchase/shopping cart. Also per Mike, they're trying to make sure that mass quantities aren't immediately hoovered up by scalpers, but that's all the info that's been posted so far. I'll now return the thread to Actual Mike.

Replicates the uppers that were made with no assist out of forgings for uppers with forward assist.

Really looking forward to ordering, my personal preference would be a partial fence 604, but will I have the patience to wait until those specific receivers are available? We shall see. Lastly, I could use a bit of a retro refresher, did H&R make various M16 models back in the day, or just 603s? Full fence, birdcage, type E stocks? |

Harrington and Richardson also made at least 246,000 M16A1 rifles during Vietnam. http://pullig.dyndns.org/retroblackrifle/ModGde/RflGde/OtherManu.htmlH&R's one known contract started November 1968 and ended April 1970. |

They're not up yet. Our web guys are going to put the stuff in the PSA shopping cart first. We will update the H&R website with links and info as they have time. I will post a link to the products once they're up. |
