Mike - as you source retro furniture, please add midlength triangle handguards to the wish list.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gunnut284: M4 Survival rifle clone down the road, maybe? I still have the NoDak SRS-M chassis in inventory. But with no Marlin youth model XT-22 rifles to build them with sales were poor. To make a clone of the original H&R M4 is a fool’s errand. Braced pistols have become the new compact “survival rifle” |

Hi Mike, I'm really looking forward for the release of your products.
I'm wondering who is doing the anodizing and if there will be a non H&R marked retro lower available in the future. Similar to the PSA stealth lowers or m4/m16a2/m16a4 lowers but with A1 profiles. The reason is because I own a colts part kit that I've been wanting to build. |

GUU-5/P would be awesome, but any A1 with a pencil profile 14.5 P&W 1/7 twist wold be cool.
Looking forward to the new line. |

@mike_nds will H&R have a CAGE code? Asking in case anyone wants to get a UID label for their lowers.

Lead times are long right now, so I don’t know exactly when we’re going to get them. But it is happening. I’ll post updates when I have them. |

If you're able to price these in line with PSA's modern offerings I'll probably end up with one of everything from the retro line. |

People who care enough to nitpick about how you got the markings on the lower would rather fill out a Form 4 than have a barrel that is several inches out of spec and the bottom of the muzzle device blemmed on purpose. You probably still wouldn't sell a ton of the complete rifles, but the uppers will probably fly out the door. I personally am waiting for the 653/723 type (not picky). I would prefer a 16" OAL with P&W, because its only .2 inches of barrel in that case. I'm one of those weirdos that actually believes 14.5" is the best all around length for ARs that don't have some kind of special purpose, 14.7" is close enough, and there is virtually zero chance I would ever want to take the muzzle device off. |

I think the 653 and 654 are the best versions. Hopefully it happens, at least uppers... |

DPMS and PSA will be doing black only. |
