    I entered service in 89. Hard to believe it was 26 years ago! My first unit as well as my basic training unite both used A1s. I remember being given one of these for BRM. After badic, I never saw these deflectors again. I used a Canadianicon A1 upper to build my A1. Figured it was the best option as I am left handed. So nearly 30 years later, I have this small piece of my heritage back.
    If you want any, better call soon. He has less than 10 left.
