Boogie Nights......

Been there, done that.

Many parts are genuine USGI.  So, actually, most of the rifle has been there and done that.

 

Tim from Military Arms Channel put out a video awhile back comparing the retro rifles put out by Brownells and Troy Industries. Both retro versions are a good buy. In the second video with Karl and Ian of InRange, they briefly discusses the Colt retro AR and price point with a Colt rep at the 2017 Shot Show. Limited production run was the excuse by Colt.
