Source for retro AR parts
Don’t know if it’s been posted, probably has and not only am I late to the party I’m also some kind of try hard for mentioning it. Was looking for something trivial (found it there) and found a mountain of AR retro coolness.

Bad reports on the web. Be careful.

It sat in the postal distribution center in the same city it started out in (Reno, NV) until today. The USPS says it will be here (BFE, OK) Monday. Ordered on the 12th. Six days to go from company to distribution center in same city. Kind of a WTF there.
 Just had a part (Bravo Company) ordered on the 13th leave a Milwaukee suburb, twelve hours to Memphis, spent forty five minutes there, go to Tulsa in eight hours, sat there for fourteen hours then get here in under two hours and a day earlier than the ETA. Tulsa and OKC send a lot of stuff to Dallas then back up. I guess they were allowing for a Dallas detour in the ETA. |

There’s the issue, it came from Reno. Probably had to stop at a casino or two before continuing on.

In the mailbox of my country cow shack at 4:40 p.m. In a nice manilla bubble pack envelope in a custom sized zip lock with receipt and a sticker black on white saying Retro Rifles over a silhouette of an M16/M16A1.
It was one inexpensive part so it can be considered low risk. The incubation period at city of origin and sparsely detail tracking information could easily be found annoying. I’ve learned to expect longer shipping times and fewer details from points west with the exception of Arizona based businesses. They get ‘er done quicker.

Go to Thailand Bluntforce. Every single soldier I saw their was carrying our old 1960s M-16s..
Little guys but they sure as all hell looked like troops you did not want to mess with. Ask them nice if they want to sell any parts just don't piss em off.
