Fulton has been around forever, they have some good stuff, not surprised they have some retro stuff. I've always had good luck with them

I have also bought from them, and had excellent results. They are good people in my experience.

I had them screw up an order and ship me a slick side a1 stripped upper instead of a c7 upper parts kit. One call to customer service and they got me fixed up. I ended up shipping back the wrong part on my dime and they refunded me my shipping and sent me the correct parts. Overall they were quick to fix my problem and I'd order from them again.

I built my XM177E2 during the buying panic and Fulton was the only vendor who still had lower part kits at the time.

It's the nicest trigger of any AR I've ever tried with a standard LPK.

I really like the looks of their retro dissipator carbine "m16" type rifle.  Its a frankenstein, but the only time I think I've ever come across an example of a rifle length upper (dissipator) with a CAR stock that doesnt look absolutely awful.  I know this is a grim comparison, but It is seemingly identical in configuraration to the rifle used by one of the perps in the north hollywood bank robbery.

Illegal conversion.   All of their firearms, including an HK91 and 2 AK types, were illegally converted to either selective fire or full auto.  Looks like a professional job, those guys knew what they were doing and had quite the array of weaponry.  I know it may be in bad taste, but I just got a bushmaster lower receiver and I'm thinkin my next build may actually be a north hollywood shootout clone, semi auto only of course, but I am considering making a faux sear pin with a center punch.  I would post a thread about it, but I don't think it would go very well.  Anyway... back to the regularly scheduled Fulton Armory Thread, and yes, they have a nice selection of parts

I have ordered all kinds of small parts from Fulton for many years. Amongst the best in the business, IMHO.

im thinking about picking up a C7 upper from them..

I notice they carry the LoneStar pistol grips I've seen in a lot of the IDF real-deal pics.

That would free up an A1 for another build...  Dammit!

Thats why I needed the c7 parts kit. I had ordered a c7 receiver from them and a parts kit and ended up using the sight kit on a cncguns carry handle and the forward assist I gave to a friend who lost one. My C7 upper from them looks good but if I did it again I'd order through bushmaster. I've been told that you can get the bushmaster c7 uppers with m4 feed ramps if you call them. There was a thread about it here a while ago where someone listed the correct part number. Since so many barrels have the m4 feed ramps I figure the upper should as well(yes I know it will run without them).

Still not sure what I'm going to do with the c7 upper I have though. I was thinking of throwing a 20 inch gi barrel on it for a nice older style rifle.

Bingo. I'd put on a 20" gov't profile barrel.

don't know if they still do, but Fulton used to just resell DPMS parts as theirs

and as far as what to do with that C7: from the carbine guide

723 with A2 profile barrel and M203 cut
Commonly referred to as a M16A2 Carbine, slang as "CAR-15" or "M4", 8 million serial number range, 1987-?:


still retro but uses readily available parts

I built that exact same carbine on a McKay grey lower/NoDAk C7 upper and well used surplus parts - ended up being my best shooter - loves any ammo I care to put thru it. (and Fulton supplied the upper A1 parts kit)
