    RETRO AR15 who has some?

    So my neighbor down the street showed me his RETRO AR15 builds, the ones that were probably used in Laos and Cambodia in 1971-1972, the Secret War of Vietnam by our special ops forces, Green Berets and other non-reporting, never happened, did not exist nor nobody has any recollection of that sir......combat missions.......

    Does anybody else have RETRO AR15 they can post photos of?

    They are super cool!

      The one on top is about as retro as a flat screen television.

        Not "retro", but in the spirit of a past era.

                Look authentic down to the missing forward assist. Did it come with a crappy jamming BCG too? Non-chromed barrel?

                        I actually heard R. Lee Ermey scene from full metal jacket when he found the jelly doughnut in Pile's footlocker when I saw the A2 carry handle on the top rifle. Substitute Jelly Doughut for an a3 receiver with a carry handle.

                          This is my retro "605" clone. It's not exactly correct, but good enough for me.

                            A lot of things not retro with the top one.

                            Bottom one has the wrong flash suppressor, but isn't too bad.

                              If it's good enough for the owner than it's good enough for me.

                              Lets se...

                              Barrel length
                              No bayonet lug
                              reinforced lower
                              finger grooved pistol grip
                              A2 stock
                              There a do-hickie on the forward end of the rear sling swivel.

                              But it does look good on a flat screen television.
