Does anybody know a source for the flat type, grey, slip rings? not the wedge shaped modern delta ones.  I cant seem to find em anywhere, Ive used the one off  of my 601 project to make some modified Armalite Retro handguards, now i,ve got three damn retros in the works instead of just two. Thanks.

i found some in the EE for my IDF build. That would be where I would look.



Just searched and didn't see any. Maybe but in a WTB add and see what pops up.



There was a vendor selling them new but I can't recall who it was.

Contact members PrivateSNAFU or Boywonder777. I think they both have them.

I found this last week:

Fast shipping. The parts are new. Black not grey. I can not find the specs on the A1 Delta Ring so I can not measure it. It does fit the handguards and the weld spring. Anyone have some specs for he Delta Ring? I'll compare.

I BOUGHT these!

He relisted them so I may get black ones.
Maybe I'll get lucky.

It's a shame that some of the sellers feel the need to jack the price up on the next auction after someone uses the "buy it now"

Its the exact same picture so who knows what you'll get. Not a deal breaker but I don't care for sellers that do that.

Yea I would have rather known it was a representative picture.

He's preying on our desire for gray!

I don't really NEED these I'm just hoping they are gray so I can loose these ugly black rings!

They offend my mild case of RBRD.

Look up Dean L on Sturmgewehr. I bought a box of flat deltas from him.

One of his ads.

I had contacted Dean about some parts a month or so ago and brought up sliprings. He indicated at that time that he didn't have any, but was expecting some by the end of the year.

Everything I've gotten from him was first rate, and I've bought a bunch from him.

Edit: My spelling finkers aren't worth a damn these days...

Well I got mine........... One was jet black and the other was light black.

I dealt with Dean on these sliprings and he was very patient and fair in his pricing.  I do not know if he will have exactly the color that you are looking for when you want it, but he helped me locate a very nice slipring that I had been searching for in vain for sometime.  He gets an A+ in my book!

I'm not sure if this is priced on the high side, but here's another option. This guy has them listed on eBay here. It doesn't say black or gray but maybe you could ask him.

Already posted this further up in this thread. That is just his ebay link. It is black. Cheaper to go through the website than ebay.
