Anyone know where to find any? Someone wants some on there CAR-15 copy and I myself am going to get some for the same thing as well. I used to see them all over but I lost my hard drive and all my gun links.

Not the wooden lakeside ones... It would become my goal in life to catch them on fire with rapid fire.

Please dont make me have to go to the AR-15 forums... I left long ago and swore to never go back.

I'll help you find some. If you'll let me know if you run across a stripped SP1 Colt lower receiver or any small pin stripped Colt lower for that matter. I needs my precious...

Thats a hard one to find...

I can find SP1 uppers all day but lowers are hardly ever found stripped anymore.

Il keep an eye out for one.

That's what I figured. In that case, if you see a deal on any small pin Colt lower, please let me know. I prefer stripped. But beggers can't be choosers. The cheaper the better.

I have enough parts to build another AR, all I need is a lower. I'd like it to be a Colt if I can find a deal.

I might know where some triangles are. How many sets do you need?

Two or three... or I may just get one for him since I have other guns on my list to build for now.

Ordering a 5.45X39 AK for myself right now because of the price of the ammo As if I needed another rifle.. I just got my FA2k less than a week ago another AR-15 lower and another M-44 in the past two weeks.

I spoke to a man that you can contact. Here is his reply to my request for you. If you do not know him already, he is a very stand up guy. One of the nicest guys you'll meet. He's willing to make you some. Read his offer below. I'll PM you his contact info.


"Jeff,

I can make the carbine triangular handguards if they send me a two sets of rifle length triangle handguards. I make one for them and keep a set of handguards for me as payment. If I screw up one of theirs, I use the second and it costs me.

The problem is the rear handguard cap. There are three sources.

Original manufacture: chances are slim to none and looking at almost $200 if you find an original

Hays River Trading: Made reproductions in the 1980s, can be found every now and then and run $45-70.

Total Silence, Inc. : Out of stock, but supposedly making another run late this summer.

Feel free to have anyone contact me that is interested. I am easy to get along with."

Thanks ALOT! I appreciate that, I have a few months to do this project but I will get around to this sooner now.

I was expecting it to take forever to track some down..
