I thought they were already up, but I can't find them on the site. I just got a promotion and think a celebratory XM177E2 pistol is in order. The IDF is a 2 position, the ad copy is wrong.

Are the IDF clones going to be gray on gray with the BFPU finish or a grey and black receiver combo?
The sample one in the pictures is almost two tone. |

I thought about trying to find a stamp to do that myself. |

Ah darn, looks like I just missed out the late 723 16" upper being in stock.
 Any luck for a restock soon, or is it gonna be a while before another batch is ready? |

We’re not going to ship any IDF pistols until I get the stamp.
They will be hand struck, so expect some variation.

Any update on when complete XM177E2 pistols will be available? Mike's post on 6.7 said Monday, but only complete rifle (with pin/weld muzzle device) seem to have gone up at this point. I see XM177E2 lowers, and XM177E2 pistol uppers with 1:7 barrels, on the site but they have been listed as OOS since they showed up. I don't see a XM177E2 complete pistol on the site yet.

So, Im super interested in a XM177, but im wondering when you are going to be putting out the stand alone 12.7" Pinned uppers. Or have you and Im just unable to find them? I found 10" and 11.5" But they are all given a warning that they are pistol uppers.

Greetings all!
Anyone know where to get some sort of wrench that will allow me to torque down a castle nut with round holes, like the H&R two position buttstock set comes with? I used to have one of the Brownells AR-15/M16/M4 Buttstock Tools, which was perfect, but like everything else it was stolen in the burglary. And it’s apparently permanently out of stock with no backorders available, so I can’t replace it. :-/ |

kind of random, but did PSA get any of the old documentation from H&R with the purchase of the company, or just the brand name? I'd love to see any surviving internal documentation on H&R's part in the SPIW program.

I'd love to see any surviving internal documentation on H&R's part in the SPIW program.

It fired triple-flechette "trounds" taped together from a 20-round container at a rate of about 500 rounds (1500 projectiles) per second, with a three-shot semi-automatic grenade launcher mounted under the barrel." |

I’ve used paint before to fill in roll marks, but never a wax pencil.
Does the heat of firing make it melt out? I guess maybe the magwell won’t get very hot, but the receiver? |
