Any other Retro Black rifle owners out there?

I guess I need to get on the Nodak Spud waiting list. Saw on another forum a rumor of 2000 M-16 parts kits coming to market. I would love to score a kit which whould add a bit of encoomy and originality to the project.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I took a complete SP1, put it on a California legal Noday Spud 601'602 slab side receiver. Added early mottled furniture. Colt 20 rounder blocked to 10 rounds and a bullet button.

Nice machine! That is exactly the look I am looking for. Looks like yout furniture came from the same bin as mine. I like the "been there" look. Might even wait a bit for a "blem" lower upper from Nodak If I cant find a parts kit.

I am a bit late to the dance, but here is my AR. I need to get the stainless barrel dura coated to match the rest. I built it from a surplus kit. Almost like the one I used in 73.

1-12" twist lightweight barrel?

From who????

**Jayhawkhenry** · 12-13-2012 06:59 PM

I'm not sure of the barrel maker, I purchased the kit from Sportsman's Guide, then picked up a YHM lower and a disconnect. Shoots nice when I compensate for front sight, it's a bit off and needs some adjustment. The barrel was not scored for the sight, but not bad for a first attempt at building one from parts.

I don't have an A1 anymore, but I do still have this A2 clone I built in the late 80's to national match specs to shoot service rifle matches with. Yep, it's got ALL the evil features. bayonet lug, flash hider and high cap magazines.

I fear I may have missed the dance all together. No more parts kits and components scarce to no mas.

My build is"retro-ish",does that count?I ran out of cash,and couldn't find a 20"barrel,so I just took the pic to look like it has a barrel

perhaps I'll find one someday? The lower is a mega gator,and although it is"modern"was cheap and will work.Hope I don't offend too many

Prince the "Force of the Retro" is strong.... Keep looking. I saw a Criterion light weight barrel that just went for about $250 on Gunbroker...
