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.
Prototype
Barton Jenks’ Model 1867 Rolling Block Trials Rifle
These are lots #133 (from-scratch rifle) and #134 (muzzleloader conversion) in the upcoming RIA Premier Auction. It was scheduled for April, but has been postponed – check their web site for upcoming Online Only auctions […]
Artillery
37mm Gun, Bethlehem, Semi-Automatic (Video)
The 37mm gun was found in many guises during World War One – that caliber was the smallest allowed to use exploding projectiles by the 1899 Hague accords. Every nation in the world, it seems, […]
Flare gun
Manville Gas Gun Video
Charles Manville developed this weapon in the 1930s as a riot control tool, and they were built in 12ga, 25mm, and 37mm. We should point out that the 12ga version was for tear gas rounds […]
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?
