I was just searching for 733 related stuff, and these guys popped up: https://retrorifles.com/
Looks like they’re assembling uppers with at least some Colt parts?
The website feels a little sketchy, and kind of light on the details…
I ordered an A1 front sight post from them about a month ago. I experienced no issues and it shipped pretty fast.
I did some searching after I placed the order and the general consensus was that people thought they seemed sketchy. So I don’t know, I guess they install their FSBs with set screws and they consider it better than taper pins. :blink:
Bought a couple of XM177 flash hiders (shorties / 3.5"). No problem. Prior to purchasing I had a question as to availability. Called and got the “voice mail is full”. Said screw it. The guy returned my call (caller ID?) about an hour later. Very nice guy. Perhaps a one man shop; just don’t know. I don’t see him being a ripoff type. I’m going to buy more from him. No idea where his parts are sourced from. I do know the open slots in the flash hiders were a bit edgy / sharp. I’m ok with them but would prefer them to be smoothed down from the get go.
Bought a CAR stock from them (fibelite clone). First the thing fits and feels better than the colt m4 stock i had on the rifle. Second ordered wed, had it installed saturday. So I will be using them agian.
According to their website, you can choose set screws or taper pins.
The chromed 20" A1 with 1-7" twist and pinned front sight is interesting.
