Let’s see your retro AR’s

[lerch641]

Anyone have info on the wire / paracord front sling mount? I know they come with the Troy rifles but where can I pick one up?

EBay? I believe they're called a Top Sling Adapter.

Make sure you don’t loose the safety detent!

I have that too, I put them both in a bowl for safe keeping and then forgot about them.

I need that 3 pronger flash hider to complete my Retro, please help. Also with Brownell's latest effort, it shows that there must be a market for this look. Sometimes the AR scene becomes a little redundant, more snap on crap then you can imagine. Brownell's price of $1299USD might be a little proud for some, but I do like the comeback.

Aaah, It’s all in the terminology! I found and ordered a couple! Thanks. I was googling wire sling adapter and that is a no go for a top sling adapter. Cheers man!

I used a large flat head screwdriver with masking tape on it. Pas it through sideways in the teeth.
Anti Seize the threads and torq that sucker on until the crush washer flattens enough to line up the slots with the barrel.

Does anyone know offhand if Brownells is able to ship A1 furniture to Canada without an import fee? Or if there is a Canadian distributor? I haven't seen one in my research

There is no import fee. You may get hit for GST/PST and of course shipping.

You only have to worry about that import licence if you're getting more than $100USD worth.

Where did you get the original charging handle?
That is one rare piece of kit Sir.
Very rare to see those anywhere.

Not so any longer. Brownells makes a new-manufacture Triangular Charging Handle as part of its "Retro" parts line. $59.99 USD gets you one in a gray anodized finish just like the Colt original. The bottom has fallen out of the retro furniture market thanks to Brownells' "Retro" line, and now they are going to produce complete rifles...

Wrong, the limit is now $500. However some items require an end user certificate regardless of value.

It is scary accurate and utterly reliable.

I can attest to that. It's also so light you can shoot it one handed. I had a hoot firing it that way when I'm used to the 11lb C8IUR at work.
