Hmm, what could I say that wouldn't sound whiney...
Dammit man, my wallets not getting any fatter!!! I may have to buy some if any are left after Christmas! |
|
I feel faint. Hmmm. Maybe a faux-prototype dream gun with you trigger upper! I think I need to buy a set just to have! I call a set, if I don't have to mortgage my kids.
|
|
What kind of hand guard cap will it need? It looks from the picture like the more modern round kind. Will it fit on the triangular cap?
|
|
that prototype rifle is looking like a feasible build more and more each day.
|
|
Yessss... We wants them we do...
Great move, Mike. Nodak keeps ahead of the curve! |

We are working on getting the round .625" caps right now. They will be included with the handguards.
The price for the set will be reasonable. I'm also going to design a funky slip ring that will be offered later. |
|
Quoted:
cool...do they have heat shields? No, they are just as offered before. I have shot our rifle extensively with these handguards and heat is not an issue. They do have the support ridges on the inside that could be notched for handguard tabs if somebody wants to fabricate their own. |

|
Maybe, but I don't have a set here to check it against.
I'll take a look later. |

Hey Mike, you dont need to design a slip ring, my65pan had lots of different designs already.
I know I have a couple I am waiting to use on builds. |

And just when I was under the misconception that I was at the "end" of my retro building for awhile
|

Outstanding! I'm glad you were able to make this a reality. I wrote ArmaLite about this about 18 months ago, and they wouldn't even entertain me. You've got the clout!
Thanks very much, and set aside a set for me. My money will be headed your way as soon as you put them up on your website. John Thomas |
|
Hmmm, can we arrange direct shipping of our handguard to John Thomas?
I imagine many will be headed that way. |

Wow. You guys! Hey howz the FSB project going? Any verdict? Things are moving forward. |

These the same as the AR10B ones they used to have or are they modded for 5.56 use?
EIDT; I kan spel! |

Looking forward to seeing handling these. Fixed it for ya. |

And just when I though I was doing well with recovery you make me go and fall off the wagon.

Quoted:
What, none in midlength? I might chop a set for one of my builds. |
|
NDS you guys are truely amazing! I'm glad to see you guys were able to convince Armalite to build some more AR10B handguards specifically for us retro heads, because they would NOT give us little guys the time of day. You guys truely rock.
|
|
I have no plans whatsoever of doing a prototype rifle, but I do love that style of handguards. If I can afford them, I definitely will be ordering a set.

I ask because I have a buddy with an AR10 who wanted the old-style handguards but missed the window where Armalite was still selling them. |

They are exactly the same handguards offered in the past on Armalite AR10B rifles.

Excellent! Yup, funds are going to be diverted from secondary considerations like food, transportation...

For a small, niche market, you fellers certainly don't mind going out on a limb taking a risk on low volume stuff like this. must be the result of love for the weapon system.
|

I'm definitely in for a pair, they'll be going to JT for his art. There was a reason that Providence kept me from sending him a set of generic A1 guards. I'm doing windshield time most of the day tomorrow but I'll crank up the laptop at a gas stop.

Yes, it comes from countless nights out in the woods with an M16 tucked inside my sleeping bag with me. We have a "special relationship". |

Mike
Can we call up to order them today or do we need to wait until they are posted on the web site? |
