A1 Upper on my porch today!

[Cal30M1]

Ohio Ordnance Works had these on sale for $244 last week and I got one of the last on Friday. Showed up today.

Some guys were getting Colt uppers and or barrels. I got a FNMI chrome bore barrel and I don't know who made the upper yet. No proofs and no forge code. Rebated front lug.

Great bargain for the bucks!

Brian, have you ever talked with Frances at the Bradenton gun show. He has alot of parts for the ars. , What is the plan with this one? You already built the retro , right. Nice.

I have a early 80's SP1 carbine. This one is going to be a VN era XM16E1/603 Model Retro Black Rifle

I have a Colt 603 receiver but it's pitted and needs to be re-anodized. I may forgo the authenticity for ease of completion.

All I needs now is the Bolt Group, Partial Fence Lower from NoDak, Lower Parts Kit from DPMS, Naval Jelly to make the DPMS parts gray, Type D Stock Group.

All told around $650 for a M16A1 clone.

I'll still have a spare upper receiver and a pencil barrel so I'll have to build another one eventually. Thinking a 605 Carbine with it.

I'll check for Francis the next show, I think he was the guy right inside the door and to the left last show? Whoever was there has a nice early Colt upper for cheap but I was broke. I think he wanted $250 for it AND it had the Type D Stock and A1 pistol grip!
