I've got a A1 upper to go with a 12.5" pencil barrel and CAR stock etc.
I feel like I need a retro lower to go with. That being said, what makes a lower "retro"? Which of your products would you recommend? I'm not shooting for any specific clone, just something that would look good in the IDF/KISS picture thread

I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314

Any of the 3 basic models would work for a carbine build.

Here is a link to an excellent information source on "retro" lower receivers - http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/294264_AR15_M16A1_Lower_Receiver__Model_Guide_Clone_Building_Guide_FAQ__redux.html
For the NDS lower, we recommend the model NDS-XM16E1, which is the partial fence version. This is a very distinctive looking receiver, and the wait for filling an order is not as long as for the full fence NDS-16A1. This is in reference to a gray anodized lower. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |

Spoke to Harlan,
backordered a XM16E1 Should be a great Christmas present.

We do not charge the payment card until we have the order items ready to ship and we get final approval from the customer. Harlan NoDak Spud LLC |
