Wow, the correct lower really sets off an A1 build. I really like those Coal Valley lowers. Too bad States like yours have those goofy laws that drive the price up on stuff like that. Hopefully ASA will get that batch of retro lowers done soon. |
Colt probably has staplers or carpet stains in their building that have been there far longer than RRA has been in business. new-arguy, 2005

Raptor, First, awesome rifle! Second, (and I hope this isn't a dumb question), how do A1 lowers like yours and current A2 lowers differ? It appears there is less reinforcement by the pivot pin on the A1... anything else? It's funny, as soon as I saw your pic I ran to the gun cabinet all excited... I used an EA Coal Valley lower on my very recent A1 clone project also... but NOPE, it's an A2 lower (serial # around 9000). Darn it! Shal1 |
Ahhh, now I get it. Israel has more than sand to it, so I missed the humor. Being as I didn't write it, I've got no idea, but when things are given to me I try not to ask too many questions.....

Dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians
Might be a next project.......but, we were watching Mail Call last night, it was an episode where Gunny was shooting an M1 Garand. I told Frau Quib that an M1 would be a nice partner for my 98k Mauser……..she said I should get one from the CMP! I still think I was dreaming! 
|
Gee, and I just happen to know a little CMP affiliated club that could fix you up with a membership card so you can order one......

 Also, would a chrome slabside B/BC be accurate in a slabside SP1 upper from, say, the 70's? |
Here is a thread discussing thaose differences. (it is from the Archive, so I hope you can 'see' it) Differences in A1, A2 lowers If not, let me know and I will IM you the highlights, so as not to de-rail the retro talk |
* It's always cheaper to do it right the first time.
Getting ready for ASA to send out thier retro lowers. Here is the XM116E1 parts kit I managed to put together.  Anbody got any ideas on how I can get the ASA lower to match the brown pantina of my XM16E1 upper? I tried baking that charging handle in wheel bearing grease, but as you can see did not stain it (but did make a real bad stink). |

Um no. But I'll trade you my M16 stock for that ugly MagPul. I'll even throw in an A1 grip. Then you'll be Retro.
