Brownells is coming out with a whole series of Retro AR Rifles: https://www.brownells.com/.asp...F0QVFOam5iXC9rIn0%3D Pretty Darn Cool! I remember a thread earlier with one of members that had just built one that everybody thought was really nice. Now Brownells is following that trend. AWESOME Remember, this is all supposed to be for fun................... | ||

Very nice. Who machines Brownell's lowers. Is that done in-house? | |||

Reading some of the details of the particular rifles says that the 308's are fully machined by FM Products and on the 223's I looked at said their receivers were made by Aero Precision...... Remember, this is all supposed to be for fun................... | |||

I hope that these are not a limited edition and stay in their line up for a few years, I'd love to have one of each! Brownells is a fantastic company. By the way, there is a give away sweepstakes for these going on each day from the 23-26th! _________________________ An unarmed man can only flee from evil and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. - Col Jeff Cooper NRA Life Member Long Live the Super Thirty-Eight | |||

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
Looks like Nodak Spud forgings with Aero doing the machining on the lowers on the .556 rifles. ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

Oh God! This is going to make me poor! I'm almost done with my XM177 clone and part ways done with my XM16E1 transitional clone....I was thinking about building a model 601, now I might have to just buy it and forget about looking for parts. Would love to have the AR 10A, the granddaddy of the AR 15. What would be cool, is a reproduction of the AR 18/180. The the family would be complete. ARman | |||

My heart didn’t actually skip a beat when I saw the Brownells announcement, but it did do a little flutter. I have a picture of myself in Viet Nam holding my rifle and what I believe was the model the Brownells’ XBRN16E1 is based on.

$1299 on the AR15's and $1699 on a brown AR10. Nice pricepoints for sure. That said, teh furniture is very plasticky, nowhere near the originals if you get any closer than 25ft. Still....very happy they're offering these. I might finally get an AR10 after himming and hawing for many years. | |||

Retro rifles really aren't my style for ARs, however I see the appeal to other shooters. I suspect Brownells will sell every one they make. And there will a waiting line to buy them. So what the heck, I entered giveaway. | |||

Thanks! I entered, I hope to win the model 601 or XM16E1, that would be awesome! ARman | |||

Damn I want one of those brown stocked 308's bad!!!! I hope they still have them this summer. I might be able to afford one then. | |||

That M16E1... I want that. My brother built up a number of retro AR's over the years and I nearly bought a very nice, very faithful Colt 604 copy off him about a year ago, everything that could have been Colt or USGI about it was. I still kick myself for letting that one walk. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

Sweet! Nice to see them offer a couple models that aren't easily obtainable, or able to find parts to build. I wish they would offer a XM607 then I could stop hunting for a stock (unobtanium) and just buy a replica. _________________________________________ Dei. Familia. Patria. Victoria.

Must resist, must resist, must resis.... Mmmmm, M16A1.... I mean; MP5, MP5, MP.... Mmmmm, M16A1.... Yeah. I want one. I’ve been debating on buying their parts and putting one together for the past few months but I couldn’t make up my mind between the XM177 and the M16A1. Seeing them now I think it’ll need to be the 20". But the 9mm SBR will be first. Laughing in the face of danger is all well and good until danger laughs back. | |||
