Has anyone built a "retro" OLL AR-15

Here's mine



I have a 3 prong flash hider to install but cannot remove the existing one. Any hints for resolving this?

to get mine off, I immersed the flashhider in WD-40 (I should have used KROIL but I didnt have any) and I got a long adjustable crecent wrench, I had my brother hold the upper as I rotated the flashhider off. Simple 5 minute job

Ok, I'll give that a try. What tool is used to tighten the 3 prong unit since it is round and has no flat area for a wrench? Thanks.

I almost finished mine I have a local source for parts and soon to be lowers.

You guys really need to get NDS lowers.
The A1 uppers just look wrong on the black A2 lowers

Ah dude come on!!! Refinish that lower for crying out loud. Fill in the dear head and spray it with Norrel's. I'll even donate my extra. A promag would look good too.

Some beautiful guns here!!

I've posted these pics before...

Ever since I bought my first AR I've wanted to recreate my favorite toy gun from when I was a kid... a metallic blue and black M16.


Well, I finally have the gun together!


Now I am just getting ready to ship it off to be finished in a nice deep metallic blue!

I am going for the flat side lower as soon as it is available. Like I said I have a local source. I would go with the nodakspud but I have a feeling it will be waaaaaaaaay worth it to wait.

Thanks for the offer of paint. I love this forum.

Nodakspud lowers are fan-fking-tastic. They are identical to original colts but don't require large front pins or large trigger pins.

Yes I am a total fanboy.

Large trigger pins
