Sorry can't get the pic to pop up. |

Well interesting picture, I reworked it, so it is quite a bit easier to download, that sucker was 10 megs and took forever to download, so I reduced the size a bit for those of us on a slow connection.

Martin, been meaning to e-mail you about some projects. I see you have the cleaning rods on your 63A carbine, do you have the correct multi tool? I have drawings ready to make the multi tool as well as the cleaning rods if you think you would be interested in the project?
Is that a SA80 or a post L85 gun? I disappointed in you for not having a M3A1 grease gun in the picture. I have a pdf Swedish K armor parts manual I can send you if you do not have a copy of it. |

I consider plain A2 rifles to be retro, but this subforum seems not to. That's why they got their own, after much debate.
Anyway, please post more pics if you've got em. Is the L85A1 the first issued version from 1985? And how did your company get one? Are L85A2's exported today? |

If you look at the OP name you will know. I knew as soon as I saw the Stoner 63As and the M60 with helicopter gun butt plate. But this still doesn't actually answer the question--is this the private collection of someone at Badger, or does the company keep a collection? If the company owns these, are they normally on display somewhere? |
 JK. Great collection.

I like the picture. Thanks for posting it.
For those that don't, then move on and remove the picture from your mind. 
Maybe some of you can post a picture group of your pure AR's. I am too lazy to pull out mine or get to all of mine and take a picture and then post it. That took a lot of time and effort, so just enjoy it. Thanks again. Ron I saved the picture and enlarged it. There is a lot in there that may be missed just looking at the original posted picture. |

The image I posted in the second post of the thread, is the full size, but you still have to open it in a new window to get to it. Here's a direct link to the full size: https://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc162/badgerord/2017.jpg~original |

I know Badger Ordnance as a supplier of modern rifle parts and accessories. I've not known them to have any connection to retro arms. But this still doesn't actually answer the question--is this the private collection of someone at Badger, or does the company keep a collection? If the company owns these, are they normally on display somewhere? Here are some pictures that I took: Link for high resolution gallery

I saw some of Badger Ordnance's collection during Memorial Day weekend at the Liberty WWI Memorial in KCMO (close to where they are based). I don't know if they are on display any other time.
