Cause I think I know where you're going, and I've already been looking at doing a true Prototype lower.


+1 on that! Would you consider not putting any markings on the magwell so we can have them marked exactly like the originals? Even better, is it possible to put the required markings in an even less conspicuous location - under the grip, front of the magwell, etc?


I second the request for inconspicuous markings.

Mike, it figures about the time I run across one of these finally... AR-10B upper with the BCG:




But it sure does give me hope that you guys might be doing a proper narrow FSB, etc.  ANY chance/plans about doing an AR-10B receiver that would take the proper waffle mags, or other AR-10 early-style parts that I could use to build this out with?

No.

I doubt sales would justify the $ needed to do it properly.


I understand. Never hurts to ask, though.

OMG. I,m thinking WAYYYY outside of the box  with this AR-10 / Armalite AR-15 thing.  Imagine if one of you "Machinist Types" got a NDS-32 "Trigger Charger" upper, machined out a slot in the rear of the handle area and used an elevation wheel off of an A-2 upper in this slot as an elevation wheel just like on the AR10? Of course some metal filling will be required first. I would think some of the A-2 sight small parts might also be utilized? (I,m gonna have to dissassemble some of my toys tommorrow and really think this thing out. See what happens when you guys start this shenanagans? I wont sleep again tonight (thanks) thinking about this, Retro Sickness.

I got my sets in yesterday. I was actually surprised at how hefty and solid they were. Now I just need something to put them on.

Got my handguards ordered and they shipped yesterday for delivery Monday–– they will look very handsome on my AR-10B, which came with a set of A2 handguards molded in brown plastic; I was very disappointed. Rifle shoots like gangbusters, though. An old-style front sight would go a long way toward that retro look I'm after. (Hint, hint) I took the opportunity to order an Uzi receiver for yet another science project. Tell Mitch I said Attaboy.

Mine look awesome. My wife threw the handguard cap away though. Sucks.

Talked with Mike today at Nodak, ordered the handguards and a waffle mag. Cant wait for the "GOODs" to arrive. Those guys at Nodak are always  a pleasure to talk to and do buisness with.

I also bought a pair of the handguards.  They will also be going to John Thomas.  While I was at it, I had to buy the trigger charging upper, and some of those cool waffle mags.  I am very interested to see what ideas (hint, hint: Pictures) of what the other group members do with their exciting retro goodies from NDS.

Sherluk and Bushy have them



Cool. Either I'll hit Sherluk up when I order the stock and grip, or see if ya'll have extras when I order the lower, upper and some waffles. I'm assuming the top charging upper will fit on one or your 601 lowers?

Yes, the 32 works on the 601.

We don't have any extra caps, they go with the sets.

Don't let your woman open your packages anymore dude.

If she asks whats in the box tell her its nunya



All that is good news. I can just order from Sherluk, no sweat. I may just have everything shipped to work or my FFL from now on. Move up to Tier 1 RBRD.

Should have looked at this sooner–– since my handguards are going on my AR-10B, which has a .750 barrel, could have just sent you my cap–– sorry. If you haven't ordered one yet, shoot me an IM with your mailing address.
