The Dirty Bird Industries M16A1 20″ 5.56 Retro Upper Assembly, only $376.96 + FREE s/h. Not familiar with this company OR whose components they used (Nodak Spud upper...?), but it seems to be around $300 less than the Brownells Retro Rifle (current search on Brownells $$$ for their upper). I purchased one last year, so I know.
Is this for the die hard former M16A1 guy who carried one in Vietnam or in the 70’s/80’s....probably not. It’s for the guy who loves the “throwback” look and always wanted a Colt SP1 but isn’t exactly ready to fork over $1.5 to 2k to have one, and never bought one for whatever reason.
Make sure to use this code: $375.96 after code "OVERSTOCK" (Free S/H over $99)
