    Anyone know where to get retro/repro M16 Parts?

    I'm trying to locate an original type 1 duck bill three prong flash hider for my retro AR15 but the only guy who ever made them (reproductions) has seemed to have disappeared? Any one know where to get retro M16 Parts?

    I have an original one hiding somewhere in all my crap, if interested, let me know. I have no idea as to it's worth, so shoot me an offer! Or trade goodies.

    I like trade goodies myself... always so much more fun.

    Nope.

    I did find a guy on google who was making REPROS of them for all the Nam Reenactors/Nam Collectors, but he seems to have disappeared




    Oh Baby! To retrofit one of my AR15s to an XM177E2!!! That's the SHIT man!!!!!

    Looks a lot like my AR18 flashhider.Think though the AR18 is slightly longer..were they the same? Wouldn't surprise me considering Armalite was the original. They are the same threading BTW. I have to remove my AR18 flashhider and substitute a later A2 Ar15 flashhider to shoot blanks with the adapter in my house and piss off my wife on new years.
