And by the early 1990s, we had places like Quality parts selling just about every part by catalog, as well as a bunch of vendors selling everything in the shotgun news. It was not anywhere near what we have today with the variety and accessories , but i remember it being pretty wide spread by the very early 1990s. |

Mike, a guy named David emailed me from PSA Warranty Dept last week. I responded back to him that you wanted to look at my 635 lower. I didn’t get a response so not sure if they left it for you or if it’s still in the repairs Dept.

Mike, Hey, just ordered the XM177E2 lower(gray) I hope to form 1 the lower and do a clone of the carbine. What are the odds of a gray 11.5" barreled upper, maybe an option of a grayish grenade ring and 4.5" moderator? That way I won't have to pin/weld and also option to add a 14.5/7 w/o pin and weld for a later model clone using the same lower.

My RMA is 01549566 We got it fixed and I left you a voice message. Hey Mike, I got your voicemail. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to answer your call, they had me working with some corporate guys at work today and just now getting home. I know you said the issue was a clearance issue between the magazine and feed lip assembly, but I removed it completely and test fit the magazine with the original mag catch and the one from my Colt SMG kit and there was no change in the magazine fitment. I believe that you got it fixed, but I would’ve figured if it was a clearance/fitment issue caused by the magazine to feed ramp fitment that removing the feed ramp would’ve changed how the magazine locked up when I was troubleshooting it at home. Either way, thanks for fixing it and personally looking at it. I wouldn’t expect many other companies would be as responsive and involved as you have and I appreciate it. |

Dove into the Norell's Moly Resin and painted my Luth AR slick side upper.
The gray covered a lot better than the FDE I used first on a non clone build as a test. Color match is pretty close to Colt, very close to my NDS lower, and a little lighter than current H&R. Attached File On H&R lower Attached File Colt upper top, Norell painted upper below Attached File On my NDS lower. Attached File On a black Spike's lower just for comparison. Attached File NDS lower with some H&R parts, Luth AR upper with H&R barrel and A1 sights. Vintage delta ring. H&R charging handle and H&R chrome bolt with no forward assist notches. TNTE stock set. |
