Some of these guns are now available on PSA website.

They had some complete M16A1 marked lowers for sale last week. I missed my chance to grab one, but from Reddit, the quality of the buttstock leaves much to be desired. The lower itself seemed good, however, so I'll probably just wait until they have a stripped one in stock and grab it.

Exciting news from the new H&R. Some guys were down in the basement of the old plant working on the boiler which was the same one that's been heating the place since WWII. The pipe going into the chimney was rusted completely through and they had to bust out the wall to get to the base of the chimney. Well the broke into a large store room that had been bricked in decades ago. In that store room were cases piled high of H&R M1 Garands that never shipped because the war ended. Towards the front were H&R Vietnam-era M16's, a special run in semi-auto only. They never shipped because that war ended.

Oh yeah and there were thousands of pre-embargo Cuban cigars and some prohibition-era whiskey in a hermetically sealed case.

That’s way better than Geraldo could have dreamed!

Any details on their condition, how many, and what they plan to do with them?

I know it's in jest, but the H&R M1s were made from 1953 to 1956, after the end of WWII and most after the cessation of hostilities in Korea.

Well, I ended up trying the foam method on my early PSA/Brownells buttstock. Bottom line, it worked, even if I could have done it a bit better. Very tight fit on the receiver extension now, but it lacks the hollow sound it had before. The stock also is a bit sturdier, and heavier to boot.

After filling with foam, while waiting for the foam to cure:

Nice. What kind of foam did you end up using?
