I didn't buy it but I see a dimpled takedown pin, rear sight, and selector that can all be salvaged. I wouldn't have bought it but when you add up the cost of those parts it's not bad I guess. |

Ofcourse someone will pay that money for a real take down pin. I don't even know if the forward assist was saved. Atleast it comes with the take down pin spring...

I did not buy it, and do not think it was worth what the buyer paid for what is there. However, as far as you being able to "make" a dimpled pin, some of us ONLY use REAL parts for our builds. Reproduction parts are MUCH EASIER to source or "make", but they will not be found on ANY of my weapons except for my prototype build for which original parts are virtually impossible to find (but I AM still looking - I have an original handguard, buffer, and firing pin so far).

Seems like Dave has problems playing with others.
Yes that is Indiana Surplus. A couple days ago Slim told me they have a huge pile of that stuff. The real fun in retro guns is the hunt for parts. The better the parts the better the rifle. Real parts are rare and costly. All facts. What i cant figure out is, why would anyone that is NOT down with the program be hanging around a forum like this? |

Personally, I use clone parts to complete a rifle because I like to shoot them. It allows me to keep searching and over time get my rifles as close to original as I can find and afford. In the end, they are all clones unless you are lucky (and rich) enough to buy an original. Having parts made to as close as possible, but still marked as a clone is a hobby onto its self.
Since I am waist deep into a prototype build, I have to ask... where in the world did you find a real prototype buffer? I have been trying to find someone to make one for me as a clone and there have been no takers yet. I only have a couple of pictures of three different styles and I'm not even sure they are correct. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Finding REAL parts is half the fun (if not more) of MY builds. I don't claim to be on a high horse, that is just what myself, and others do. If YOU want to use reproduction parts for a shooter, I will not knock your decision or tell you to "step up and get off of your LOW horse", because that is YOUR decision. However, what I choose to do is to spend the time, and unfortunately, the money to locate REAL parts. Sure, you can build your rifle in a few days with repop parts, and mine might take years to build. But, that is my CHOICE to do, without a high horse. You can slap a BMW data plate on a VW bug, but you will always know that it is not even close to a BMW. I, and others, choose not to go that route. If I do not want to spend the money on a REAL BMW, I would prefer to take that same VW frame and put all real BMW parts on it to get it as close as humanly possible to the real thing. I will know that the frame is not real, but I will have had the enjoyment of sourcing the real parts and building something as close to the real thing as possible. To each his own. |

So.........what happens when I step up to the plate DaveP1? I'm with M16indiana on this one...............finding the real parts is the fun part in all this. Why would aspiring to get your build as close to an original sans the receiver put someone on a "high horse"? Just because I don't agree with your opinion, does not mean I am wrong, we express opinions on these systems when we have conversations, apparently others don't like my opinion, that is okay, I still think that is about the worst of the demills I have seen. |

Hmm this is the first thread I've seen in the retro section go like this for a long time. Shame really I'll say this I build with authentic parts whenever I can but if I have to use repro for placeholders or just because I do. However any item is worth whatever someone will pay for it stating anything else is simply opinion.

To each their own when it comes to builds. I have some all correct except the receiver, waiting on an all correct XM16, have my mitts and what I call "retro inspired".
It's all about having fun, sharing and expanding knowledge. |

They have a web site. There are no links to these parts however. You must consult the oricle they call Slim.

Things that would be interesting to see:
Better pic of the sight wheel Are there casting marks on rear sight aperture? Are there casting marks on the selector? Single set of star washer marks inside grip, this would be another example of a "number in circle" grip on a H&R Things we can tell from the listing:
Seller says no casting mark on back of forward assist Double dimpled rear pin As for value, you have to ask what it would cost to buy a grip, rear pin (if not bent), selector (if not bent), forward assist (if not bent), and rear sight assembly, plus the cool crushed receiver chunks you can hang on your Christmas tree. |
