Ya I got 1 ,it’s almost like there making meme lowers ,different engravings of models H@R never even made ,offer stripped uppers so people who bought the lowers can build them

Random question... are all these new H&R lowers roll marked, or are some engraved? I see some photos that would make me think they’re being made in both styles.

Do you guys think Mike has to do anything for us? Be grateful he has a presence on here and gives us a heads up when things are coming down the pipeline. Don’t shit on the man who is hooking us up and making our retro wants a reality.

Most of us wish he would give you permission to stop whining in this thread too.

Please reach out to him for advice, you need it.

My 635 lower begs to differ.

Ordered one to see the color match to an old Eagles Arms gray/green lower from back when they offered both black and gray. Shipping sucked at 17 dollars to go 55 78 miles.

It would be really freakin' cool if PSA found it in their eternal mercy on us nerds to offer an ARFCOM shipping discount since they know we're gonna snap up every single thing @mike_nds drops before the rest of the world even knows that it exists...

adult sig is $6.95 and base UPS rate is like $10.  Now, why you get charged 2x that when you order two of an FFL required item...that's what sucks.  Especially when net weight is like ounces

An H&R trucker hat would be the shiz.  Black with silver embroidery and then a Vietnam era Tigerstripe with gold embroidery.  Or And H&R velcro patches the same size at the sticker we all have at least a dozen of.

My wife called me out and said I really don't like guns; I just have a very expensive sticker and patch habit with a gun side effect.

Is a stripped upper not something that requires a signature. Maybe I'll get a fancy foam lined box or something.

I was surprised to find out they charge shipping to their own stores.  Not complaining, just doesn’t make sense to me.  You’d think a $1300 rifle transferred to their own store would have free shipping.  I was happy to pay it though.  Been waiting to get this rifle for a long time.

I had an original Colt 605 one at the time so I wasn't interested at the time. I've sense gotten rid of the original and tried finding some remakes and regret not buying some when NoDak had them available. I'd buy at least a couple if they were available again.

Totally caught off guard on this one.  

No carry handle and it's the M4 model.

Looks pretty good overall, but the chrome is a bit too 'matte', as compared to original chrome BCG's.


Though I think the gas rings for the bolt are a bit out of spec or were stretched when the bolt was assembled. The bolt head is extremely tight moving back/forth, and it takes A LOT of force/wiggling to insert the bolt head into the carrier. Was worried I was gonna snap a gas ring.

It may just be because it is new, as this is my first 'NEW' BCG. I don't know.

I have received several “tight” bcg’s in the past, my fix for these is to oil it good and just pull the bolt in and out slowly. Sometimes it takes a lot of this, did a couple while watching one of my favorite movies. Sometimes it took two movies to get them loose enough to just flick the bolt carrier in your hand and have the bolt come out on its own.

The 1/12 M16A1 in gray was available for maybe 2 hours on the afternoon of the 17th.  I just happened to check(as I do every day) and they showed in stock.  While I was checking out I received the in stock email so maybe they’re getting better about their timing with that.  On a side note, what’s everyone’s experience been with shipping times?  PSA has been kinda slow with my past orders, taking almost 2 weeks to have a receiver shipped to their Bluffton, SC store.
