Brownells has produced a substantial line of retro AR-15 pattern rifles, from the “Proto” with the trigger-shaped charging handle to the M16A1 and XM-177 rifles and carbines. Today I am joined by Paul Levy from Brownells at RIA to discuss how these rifles came to be, and what the future plans are for the line.

I love that they have done this, all of them! I lust for the rifles now as when I was young , the A1 and M177E2 in particular. The A2 was too long in the stock for me, I never could warm up to it. Why did these come to market when I am sick and on a pension?!?. Dies Brownells have a blemished parts section?
My first AR was a 20″ Bushmaster XM-15 (back when they were REALLY Bushmaster). I put surplus M16 triangle handguards on, and the thing looks just like my issued M16A1, other than the happy switch missing. Has A1 sights, even. Still my favorite.
BTW….Brownells….STILL WAITING for my KE Arms Poly lower I ordered in March….or was it April?
