Hi All,
I am trying to get some examples of original XM177 and XM177E1 lower receivers. We are wanting to do some clones of them, but pictures are not that prevalent. Any help would be appreciated. We are also doing the XM177E2, but I have seen enough pictures of it to decipher a correct clone. Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks, Josiah |

I’d recommend looking into getting the Vickers Guide Ar15 Volume 1 reprint they have on sale right now.
If you guys plan on doing some clones, can’t get any better pictures than those and that have literally everything in that book |
|
Well, I don't have any pics for you, but I do love that you guys are looking into this. The M16A2, M16A4, M4, and M4A1 lowers were all very cool. Looking forward to seeing you guys get a bit more retro!

Does this help? The other model is listed there too. |

That's cool that PSA is looking into doing some retro carbines! I'd be interested in an XM177E2 and it's about time I finally get a PSA lower after buying six of your uppers over the years!
|

How correct are you planning on making them? Enough to require a license from Colt? M16-cut inside? If you went with 100% correct exterior markings, where would PSA's marking be at?
One thing I really want is a correctly-marked GAU-5A/A lower, but as I recall, someone here outed Braceman to Colt, so that's done, and I don't know who else can and is willing to do them, and one of the Colt re-issues is entirely out of the question, since I live in CA and it's on the ban list. I also don't expect to find a cut receiver capable of being welded back together or to an 80% rear half of this model, and if I did I'm sure it'd cost hundreds of dollars. If PSA is planning on doing sufficiently correct retro clone lowers, that gives me some hope here. Y'all have piqued my curiosity with this inquiry, for sure. |

Some good pictures here: http://retroblackrifle.com/
Another good resource is "The Black Rifle" by Stevens & Ezell I'm looking forward to seeing your retro product line. |
|
I have a pic somewhere of a really early XM177E1 that actually used a 601 lower. A partial fence lower would be more correct for an E1, IMO. I'd like to thank Palmetto State Armory for building great guns, bot ARs and AKs, and doing it IN THIS COUNTRY. You guys get a lot of crap, but all the stuff I've seen and helped friends build has been good to go.

I suspect they will be A2 lowers with cool markings. The A2, A4, M4, and M4A1 lowers were all beautifully done, but I do suspect that some re-profiling will be in order for XM177 lowers.

Quoted: I'm not PSA, but recently ordered one of their M16A4 lowers, and here's what it looks like: https://palmettostatearmory.com/media/catalog/product/cache/7af8331bf1196ca28793bd1e8f6ecc7b/m/1/m16a4_clone_advert_file.jpg View Quote Hmm, the only way I'd go for that on a clone build would be if the Palmetto markings were somewhere really discrete, like on the underside of the magazine well in the smallest legally permissible font size (I've seen it done on AR receivers) and if I could find someone to complete the engravings to make it look close enough to the real thing, but finding someone who'll do that is part of the problem right now. |

I have one of each of the A2, A4, M4, and M4A1 lowers. The rifles went together without issue. I like the retro vibe of them and have built pretty good clones with them. I have a a franken gun that is kind of an XM177 that I would turn into a better clone if you come out with a receiver for them.
Thanks for doing what you are doing and please keep it up. |

Since yall are now sister companies with H&R, would this be under their logo? Because that would be cool......

Colt 607 (top) aka CAR-15 I'd go with these GX markings because they look cooler (but commercial examples were also marked MOD. 07 or MOD. 07A and possibly MOD. 07B) Larger photo here: https://i.imgur.com/zG3yrIU.jpg These won't sell as well as other retro carbine lowers (because the specific parts needed for a 607 repro are rare) so I'd plan on producing them last (or after any XM177 options but probably before the USAF stuff). Colt 609 (middle) aka XM177E1 Early examples were partial fence, while late examples were full fence. (This is also true of Model 610 aka XM177 aka USAF GAU-5/A production.) I'd prefer partial fence, personally. Attached File Attached File (This is a commercial Model 619 but it better shows how the COMMANDO marking was spaced and centered over the caliber engraving.) Colt 629 (bottom) aka XM177E2 These were all full fence (and the USAF model was marked GAU.-5/A/A) I'd sort them in this production priority: XM177E2 (full fence) COMMANDO (partial fence) COMMANDO (full fence) GX-5857 (partial fence)* *If you guys decide to reproduce this model's specific stock and handguard you'd increase demand for the lower, but I can't advise if it'd be worth the tooling cost(s). I'd guess probably so for the stocks (or maybe just the aluminum components offered as a DIY kit for people to cut down and fit their own stocks to.) GAU-5/A (partial fence) GAU.-5/A/A (full fence) GAU-5/A (full fence) (I doubt the USAF-specific markings will see as much demand.) I'm really excited about the possibility, and appreciate that you're exploring this. Maybe you could work out a deal with CZ/Colt |

For the most part, the XM177 and the XM177E1 used the same “partial fence” lower receivers as the XM16E1 rifles. This type of lower receiver is fairly accurately exemplified by the Brownells XBRN16E1 and the Nodak Spud NDS-XM16E1.

Can you also produce these with the correct lock nuts in place of the castle nut, as well as anodize the receivers/buffer tubes the proper XM grey, and make sure the tubes are 7075 and 2 position.
As far as aluminum stocks, Double Star bought the tooling from Essential Arms to produce them if you guys could work something out with them. |

@palmettostatearmory
You could maybe do something similar to how Brownells did it and buy the forgings from Nodak Spud. @HarlanNDS @mike_nds |
|
With the proper re-profiling of the lowers into XM16E1 and A1 receivers, you will have a winner!!
Also, if can engrave them in the same manner as your M4A1 marked receivers, but with “COMMANDO,” “XM16E1” and “M16A1,” I’d buy at least 2-3 of each!! Is there any legal issues with simply going with an engraved “PSA” over “PALMETTO STATE ARMORY?” IMHO, “PSA DEFENSE” would be a nice touch as well. Honestly, it’s the engraving that will win a lot of people over... “I” like the font size and the uniformity of the depth of your engravings on your current M4A1 receivers, which is far better looking than say the markings on a Brownells retro lower receiver. I’m not a purist, but something that looks “retro correct,” I’m more than good with that!! |

Dear PSA,
Would it be possible for the company to create roll-mark tooling rather than engraving these markings? That would be very very cool. I would love to have an XM177E2 lower for my current build. What kind of timeline are we looking at for this kind of thing? Thank you for engaging with the community on this. |
|
I hope this goes through since I'd be in for 2-3 Commando and another 2-3 for the XM16E1 receivers... Any chances of an M16A1 lower receiver to round out these retro series of receivers??
I have enough uppers receivers for these, but can't wait for more A1 1/12 barrels to return back to the market as well. |

The XM177 (without forward assist) and the XM177E1 (with a forward assist) were developed simultaneously, just like the XM16 (model 604) and XM16E1 (model 603) and delivered to specific branches who either required the forward assist (Army), or required that it be absent (Air Force). The USAF did not have any forward assists until they adopted the M16A2. Both the XM177 and XM177E1 (models 610 and 609, respectively) entered contract production in 1966.

Is PSA going to be machining lower receivers to partial fence and/or A1 profiles, or will they just be engraving retro model numbers/info onto modern A3/A4 lower receivers?

Partial fence vs. Full fence: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Colt_AR-15_Identification_Guide#Partial_Fence Best Regards, KB KB, I have not received any messages. Thank you for the info. I have already submitted the other variances. I am submitting the GAU one as show below. I added a "0" in front of the 9 since we already have two variances with SERIAL900000. SMG GAU-5/A 5.56 MM SERIAL0900000 Thank you, Josiah Would it be possible to start them at a later serial range instead of adding an additional numeral? i.e. start them at SERIAL903000 |
