The Retro sub-forum has a PIF thread and the members there is what makes that thread and that forum great  I spend quite a bit of time there, but I love this forum here just as much. Please note that this is NOT a WTB or WTT thread. If you want an item or items listed by someone here on this thread, you can post a reply that you'll take that item(s) and put up your own item(s) to keep the thread going.
First item up is a take-off A2 FSB (non F marked), nice gray parkerized finissh, unknown manufacturer (no forge marks), fits .750" diameter barrel; NO front sight post, spring or detent. I picked this up at a local gun show I forgot how long ago but it appears previous owner tried to re-use this FSB. So the areas around the taper pin holes are a bit mangled as you can see in the picture; but the holes themselves are NOT damaged. I would suggest that you re-ream the holes and use oversized taper pins anyway. I know APEX has a bunch of stripped take-off HBAR barrels, so I'm pretty sure someone can use this. Please post reply that you'll take it and send me an IM with your information so I can send you the FSB.

| I started the original A2 PIF thread and it did well for 6 months then eventually build parts dried up and the A2 section slowed down and the thread fell off the map. |
It's better to have a firearm and not need it than to need a firearm and not have it. Judged by 12 always beats being carried by 6.
| I'll play the game. I'll take your FSB and put up a set of Bushmaster CAR skinny HG's with a homebrew 4" rail installed on the bottom HG so you can mount a flashlight or a forward grip. They'd be great on a BHD clone because of the DIY installation of the rail, I used nuts and allen head screws that torqued down real tight. I had a grip-pod on it to test the strength and it was built ford tough. |

Your right, look at how well my original A2 PIF thread started when this forum first opened, parts were plentiful and builds were going as fast if not faster than Retro builds for a short time. Then it fizzled and poof....gone. A flash in the pan.

Really excited to see one of these here, hoping it does well this time

If you aren't representing Jesus in a way that makes people want to hang out with you, you're doing it wrong.

I found something, it's a neutered M16 3 position selector.
The slots for the detents are a bit shallow though, not sure if it's meant to use a different style detent or not. Either way it's up for grabs. |

Either way it's up for grabs. I had the same issue with my 16 selector. I opened up the channel a bit with a Dremel tool and polished it afterwards. It works fine now. Someone would put it to good use with a bit of work! |

| I'm putting up a mil-surp A2 stock body (yellow foam-filled) that's been there & done that. Someone hit with Krylon in the past and I removed most if not all of it. Hit me up if you can give it a new home. Lord knows if I keep it, it's going to turn into another build. |

| I'll tack this and see if that helps keep it going. |

Done Or use USPS online shipping, do it all at home and drop your package in the nearest mailbox. I used to ship regularly from the PO ("nothing liquid, fragile or potentially hazardous") but now only go inside to either get a money order or pick up something that requires a signature. You can get a slight discount buying the postage online, and flat rate boxes make it very easy. |

I guess I'm old shool or just anal, I need to see my customers package being scaned and thrown into the correct bin. The small flat rate boxes with free tracking is the best bang for buck size they have, the cushioned ready post packages are good as well, I can get 2 A1 pistol grips in one for $2.40 shipping. The small flate rate box can fit 6 but usually 5 with bubblewrap comfortably. As you can tell I'm selling 279 Colt A1 pistl grips in the EE right now, most are new, never installed. Only 253 more to go before I sell out....lol |

Jut got the CD of the TM's from Combat Diver all the way from A-Stan. I'm a bit shocked that it didn't take 3 months or so to get over here. Thanks again CD and thank you for your service!
I'll dig around in the parts bin for something to put up to "stay ahead"
