Well in that case I would max out my credit card.If I can’t buy gun stuff I would have plenty of time to pay it off.

Tribalistic? Yes, but every Iowan knows the best steaks come from someone’s backyard, never a restaurant! We all know a guy and buy a side and cut it up while the charcoal burns down. Applebee’s is for sad singles who don’t know how to grill.
Back on topic, I hope it works out for you and I’ll cross my fingers the legislature doesn’t continue to erode your Rights.

Decided to make this a build from scratch project. Picked up an NDS partially stripped retro upper that somebody had started as a project. project and didn't get very far. Going shopping for pencil barrels at the local gun show this weekend. My biggest dilemma at the moment is whether to go for a 3-prong or A1 bird cage. I'll do the three prong on the NDS, and probably a birdcage on the C7 receiver when I get to that one.
Just as a postscript, I checked in with Brownells. To verify they received the return item... They noted they were extremely backed up on returns and I could expect my refund 2 to 3 weeks after they log the return in receiving.

I’m sorry it all went down the way it did but pleased to see you’re keeping the momentum going. Reminds me there’s a gun show in town here I may need to haunt for more winter projects.

I have found that there are a bunch that get hooked up on building a correct retro gun.
I carried a few different M16A1’s and can tell you that some were a mix of parts. When I’m Okinawa, back in 1983 we had A1’s that had been rebuilt several times. We had three prong and birdcage flash hiders.

Same here. I was the armorer when we got A2 handguards to put on our A1s, long before we got A2s. But that was in a Guard unit. Don't know if they did that in RA.
