McKay also makes lowers. Brownells also has them from time to time.

Not sure if my hand guard set is retro, but they are in the movie Predator.

I’ve got an old Mossberg 500 and been wanting to do that!

After changing the delta ring out for the correct slip ring tonight, it's obvious why the update was made. I should have left the old softer spring in the cup instead of using the brand new one that came with it! Man!!

Nice catch on detail, I did not think of the slip ring, didn’t know they had change it.

Interesting kit. Not 100 percent correct, but it's a good start.

Very cool! Just not $630 cool.

Any other retro or 'nam kits out there?

Whatacountry is supposed to be getting some in, they'll be more expensive but they're real Colt.

RGUNS has A1 complete uppers and stripped uppers. The stripped ones are green though.

JSE has stripped A2 uppers in stock for the moment at a good price but I don't know which forge mark it has.

Not sure who else has anything...
