Is there a retro forum here?

[Waffenbauer]

If not, why not? Am I just missing it? Should it be listed under PSA products or as a non PSA product since it’s H&R?

We need some place other than arfcom to discuss H&R’s retro product line.

Very nice…I keep looking to see when the upper and lower will finally say “add to cart”, no luck yet…just says “notify me”.

Hey WB,
Beautiful rifle, exactly the way Stoner intended!
I think it’s a great idea to create a RETRO thread.
There is one started in non-PSA.
I’ve always had a soft spot for these early pieces.
They are the ones I saw growing up.
My XM-177 clone is a mix of parts:
TNTE 11.5 barrel pinned and welded
NDS A1 upper
PSA lower

H&R’s parts look awesome.
I recently discovered them buried in PSA’s website.
The barrels and receivers look fantastic.

While Colt built and sold the XM-177 to the Army for $550 each, the Air Force converted M-16A1 to GAU-5A// officially GUU-5P for $315 each. I carried the GUU-5P while stationed in Germany, and deployed to Bosnia in Jan 1996 with this weapon. Our unit was also issued Beretta 9mms.

Good places too start.

Agree! There should be a Retro Forum, where I can dream of an H&R Garand OK PSA, I know about it now, so shut up and take my deposit money

I’d love to have a retro section here. When I served in the US Army Military Police we qualified with the M16A1 and A2s the 1911A1s and M9s. I’ve purchased H&R 635 9mm and the DOE Upper with goals to by the XM177 pistol, a M16A1 retro AR but hoping for an upper of the DEA suppressed (Non NFA, just by looks) if that could be produced?

[GuitarGuy]

Im not sure i like that look. Would be fun to attempt if you had the can.

[Welder]

I have never seen that one before. At first glance, it’s pretty ugly. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Tie a few on and now I’m saying I want one!

[19foxtrot]

It has caught my eye. Dust shield/deflector for one and what is holding the clam shell together at the muzzle? A unique Colt for sure that l knew not existed. In the vintage pic w/suppressor it must be a shorty…would there have been a can/endcap to secure the handguard l wonder? Strange but it has drawled me in

@jmcjr

When I first heard about these, DEA CLET ( Clandestine Lab Enforcement Team) used them in drug house raids not to ignite the rooms when firing rounds. The look has grown on me.

Harrington and Richardson 635 9mm and DOE are amazing shooters. No ftf, fte, takes all ammo and super accurate. Love hitting steel out 100 yrs through their peep sites. Target is 50 ft.

[GuitarGuy]

Standard 9mm shell deflector and 9mm dust cover. The can was made by KAC. Several companies out there making integrated stuff, most notably Innovative Arms here in SC. If they would make a can it could be a fun retro project. Without the can not so much.

[19foxtrot]

Educational for me! Thanks fellas! “Dust shield” ahahaha that terminology is stuck in my brain for one reason. It was a option for the break assembly on Peterbilt’s.
