[ARCHIVED THREAD] - H&R M16A1 Shot Show (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 1/20/2022 7:32:32 PM EDT
Just saw this on YouTube fast forward to 7:30ish for the A1 discussion Failed To Load Title |
| Mike stated in other PSA_NDS acquisition thread that they will have to start out with readily available parts on the market. Just a wild guess... Giving the continuing business arrangement to supply Borewells their forging, I wouldn't be surprise H&R goes with Brownell's furniture (I know there are some negative reviews out there) to ramp up initial production. Brownell's got the full house retro parts. Either that or H&R need to find contractor(s) that can tooling new molds or still have original molds. |
|
Quoted: Interested in the A1 and the CAR15 w/1/7 twist. I wonder what the price will be for the M1 and M14. FWIW, I recently bought a PSA 16" pencil bbl upper and while I didn't mic it or anything, it's a tad thicker than other pencil bbls I've seen. I assume their A1 repros will be milled the to whatever the original specs were. |
|
Quoted: Yes we will be using Brownells furniture to start. Eventually we would like to make our own. It will take a long time to get there. Probably a few years. @mike_nds When will complete 20” A1 rifles be available for purchase? Will there be a website to order from? |

Quoted: Yes we will be using Brownells furniture to start. Eventually we would like to make our own. It will take a long time to get there. Probably a few years. PLEASE DO. Brownells furniture feels cheap as hell, if you can make it feel like the real thing that would be amazing. |

I would assume that the barrels will be 12.5ish so a pinned moderator will get it out to 16”. If so, will the XM177E2 moderator be attached/pinned in such a way that it can be removed so the the barrel can be adjusted to its correct length if we want to SBR the lowers? Or can correct length XM177 and XM177E2 uppers and retro lowers be purchased separately so we can SBR them and then purchase the correct uppers. Thanks |
| Yep, my CETME LC's come with an pin/welded extension to bring them to 16" and also come with the correct FH to swap on if you F1 it and drill out the weld (which is conspicuous so as to make it simpler). Making an XM obviously pinned/welded serves two purposes; if there was ever a question about legality it's obvious it's done properly and then of course giving you an easier path to remove with a properly registered lower |
|
Quoted: Or a stripped and matched upper and lower ? kwg Quoted: Quoted: At what point will stripped H&R lowers be offered ? Or a stripped and matched upper and lower ? kwg Had a good meeting with my machining people today. Working out the tolerances. Probably start cutting parts in 2 weeks or so. I’ll post updates as I have them. |

Quoted: @mike_nds If I didn't tell you before when you hooked me up with that Izzy K98, you are THE MAN, lol...I'll be in line for the M14 and the slick-side bolt carriers for sure. Best of luck, but I see this working out very well for y'all! Thanks Lots of work ahead of us. |

I for one am excited to see what offerings H&R provides. It's good to see the name revived and in business. Kind of a wild tangent considering this forum but...are there any plans down the road to offer H&R M14 receivers? A more niche market I know but it sure would be neat to have a H&R parts kit built on a H&R marked receiver! |
|
Quoted: Are there plans to offer lower and upper parts kits in XM grey to go along with the receivers? Yes, eventually I plan on having retro specific LPK’s. And all the parts I’m ordering are parkerized with Manganese Phosphate and anodized gray. The Brownells port doors come with a black oxide finish, but they’re the only game in town. It will easily take until summer before we have things rolling. So many elements need to come together. |
