[Last Edit: PalmettoStateArmory]
Palmetto State Armory is pleased to announce the merger of NoDak Spud LLC into the JJE family of companies!
Effective Jan 3rd, NoDak Spud will become a subsidiary of Harrington & Richardson. Mike Wetteland, co-owner of NoDak Spud will become the CEO of the newly reformed H&R. Mike brings over 30 years of experience in the firearms industry to our team. As many of you know, Mike’s attention to detail and passion for Retro AR15’s has helped grow our hobby. NoDak Spud will cease all operations at their Edina MN facility Dec 23rd in order to complete ship outs before the end of the year. NoDak Spud will then be relocated to West Columbia SC. All customers that had backorders and/or were on the interested parties list for retro lowers/parts will be notified by Harlan via telephone or email. All NoDak Spud retro parts will be rebranded as H&R. Most of the other NDS products, such as Ruger rifle sights will still be produced. Please be patient as it will take time to spin production back up. NoDak Spud will continue to field calls and emails until we get the H&R website and staff up and running. PLEASE DO NOT call Palmetto State Armory to place pre-orders or make product inquiries as the customer service staff has not been brought up to speed yet. Please be assured that we will do our best to contact everyone on the NoDak lists to give them the opportunity to purchase H&R retro products. Thank you, -Josiah |

Let's go Brandon!

Hell!! I’ll keep it simple…. All I want are A1 and XM16E1 lower receivers. Anything else would just a cherry on top of that retro AR sundae!!

I'm eagerly awaiting these coming out - I'm certainly down for a complete lower.
|
|
|
So any news for XM16E1 black recievers and where do we order from website?

I was ringing steel at 500 yards yesterday with a Husqvarna 640 In 30-06. Not as pretty as that however. |

@mike_nds, do you anticipate having grey anodized small parts around the time you start shipping stripped receivers, or will that be later? It'd be a shame to put a modern LPK in a nice new H&R lower!
|
|
|
LPK's will be later.

I thought both GMs and H&Rs were a LOT darker, closer to black. Maybe if you oiled it up. LOL But, I don't know anything. |

WOW!! That upper AND lower BOTH look AMAZING!! I can hardly control my anticipation to laying my hands on a set!

Your dedication to getting it right is admirable

Any update on m16a1 receiver sets? The pics of what you posted on the gray upper and lower sets are great. Good color match as well. I was surprised on how good the samples came out. You said you want a little darker on the finish. When do you think those samples will be back to you? Any idea when these will be ready for sale? Do you have webiste setup yet to place orders for the m16a1 sets? Price range for the sets? Thanks |

Will these show up on the PSA web site?
