I’m looking to build a BHD Gordon clone and have a few questions. I’ve read about 15-20 pages of this thread and havnt seen them answered yet. I apologize if this is a rehash of common questions. I don’t know much about this era.
Do I want black or grey finish on the rifle? A1 or A2 profile lower receiver? What’s the thoughts on the current H&R offerings? I was thinking of starting with a complete lower or just grab receiver set, and correcting what’s wrong, use higher quality OG parts where I can and need too. Thanks in advance. |
|
|
Colt was historically a mixed bag. Useing what they had on hand if it met certain criteria for that order.
That being said A1 and A2 profile lowers are presumably both correct. Either should be marked big font M16A2, SAFE-SEMI-AUTO as they were cots rifles and not property marked. Grey would be correct for the time frame. H&R just released the correct marked lower in a2 profile, its black though. Grey will be out soon. |

Any recommendations on where to find a 14.5 barrel with a non-F marked FSB to cut down for a Gordy clone to use with an AEM5 and Ron's collar?

Finally got some lens covers for the aimpoint so I was able to get that painted today. This might be my favorite rifle. Still need a giessele and a flashlight setup. The homemade arms 16a mount turned out perfect.

Those with Ron's collar running an AEM5, are you able to run a lightweight barrel, or does the diameter in front of the FSP need to be in a certain range?

Any places with a Memorial Day sale on with proper-ish lowers in stock? Currently just using a PSA Stealth lower with the bare minimum markings, but as I have the 733 and Gordon uppers for that lower I may as well whip up another one for the Gordon upper and use the PSA for the 733.
Plus, PA has G SSA FCGs for $150, so I need to justify a reason to pick one of those up, haha. Looks like PSA also has them for $150. PSA is getting money from me later ETA: guessing this H&R A2 is the best available at the moment? https://palmettostatearmory.com/harrington-richardson-a2-stripped-lower-receiver-gray.html Now where are the 2pos buffer tubes and CAR stocks… Well, seems they’re right here, haha https://palmettostatearmory.com/harrington-richardson-retro-black-car-stock-assembly.html |

"you like that old junk?" I go, "its the best junk". He goes in the back, brings out a few old colts. Says we have tons of this old colt stuff, doesn't sell in the store so we only sell it on gunbroker.

Came from the same agency and was originally bought in the same order as my current one. Except she somewhat salty... boy i about shit. I told him dont clean the skuffs and leave the hand guard on it (mentioned they have THROWN AWAY DOZENS of these and replace them with magpuls or repro car handguards. I said even leave the ronchy ass sling. Hes like man you're wild.

Going to pull the handguard for my m4, chop the barrel and hope that Ron can get a collar spun up for it fingers crossed on that one. Gonna be a while though, im not supposed to be spending money right now because we're about to put money on building a home, so only put down 40%. I cant wait. Hopefully the ATF gets their f1 wait times in order, i have like 6 lowers that need f1s now smh. Question, were A2 uppers ever used prior to going flat top? View Quote Damn.

Originally Posted By towerofpower94: Thanks much. View Quote Theyre fun to shoot. Super lightweight, if you ride motorcycles, the best way to describe it is "flickable". Like going from a cruiser to a supermoto/dualsport. current one has a little more recoil than my other colts of the same barrel length, i think that may be because they come with the half moon bcg. Eventually I'll swap them out. Probably with just AO Precision bolt carriers. Keep the colt bolt though. |
