Anyone here do retro builds?
So my Nodak Spud parts finally shipped (Ordered July 24th and received May 10th) so 10 month wait. It was like waiting on NFA goodies. I ordered two lowers two uppers and two charging handles because I wasn't sure how well the lowers would match my existing uppers.
Anyways I will now need pointed in the correct direction for A1 appropriate parts for the lower and a couple of bolt groups. Probably will need a second full birdcage for one of the uppers.
The two completed uppers are New old stock barrels on uppers I bought at a gun show. The color match is pretty dam close (Ordered the XM Gray anodizing) The "texture" for lack of a better word of the metal is slightly different probably owing to the different age of the parts and the fact there is little to no oil on them yet.
Almost ready to join the cool kids group with one last push across the finish line. So any guidance or otherwise beneficial suggestions as too where to chase down the remaining parts would be appreciated.
