(maybe in a Dissy format also) Something like this. https://i.imgur.com/CwbcC8A.jpg Mike I was in contact with Harlan at NODAK SPUD back in December, and he said that he would put me on a list to be notified when those leftover NODAK M16A1 uppers were finished, anodized, and available to the public. Has that ever happened, and are any still available? I'm desperately searching for a matte black A1 for an ongoing project. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mike_nds: Sorry, no. The mag well is integral. It’s the same basic design as the PSA PA-9 so there are already holes for the ejector and feed ramp. I decided against any additional holes in the lower. Better idea: Go Retro. Pin the block in, in the exact proper way. Use the H&R brand. Have it be like if H&R made a 635. (This was big excitement followed by a letdown for me.) |

@mike_nds
I acquired this over the weekend. This is the later 340 built on a Zastava action. Still on the lookout for a "reasonably" priced early version on an FN action. When you are done fulfilling these requests for aluminum tinker toys, don't forget us fine rifle guys.

@mike_nds, do you anticipate having grey anodized small parts around the time you start shipping stripped receivers, or will that be later? It'd be a shame to put a modern LPK in a nice new H&R lower!

I thought both GMs and H&Rs were a LOT darker, closer to black. Maybe if you oiled it up. LOL But, I don't know anything. |

Mike, May 5th 2022
Any update on m16a1 receiver sets? The pics of what you posted on the gray upper and lower sets are great. Good color match as well. I was surprised on how good the samples came out. You said you want a little darker on the finish. When do you think those samples will be back to you? Any idea when these will be ready for sale? Do you have webiste setup yet to place orders for the m16a1 sets? Price range for the sets? Thanks |
