Amazing work!

OK. Wow.
I'm usually totally not into retro AR's, or retro firearm builds in general, but like Mr. Vickers said, those are so authentic they look like they were taken from a museum. They're so pretty I'd almost feel bad for touching them without white gloves, lol.

Truly beautiful work! I look forward to seeing more in the future.

And thank you for the history lessons, too. Very informative.

Thank you very much. The top charging handle uppers are made by a company called NoDak Spud. They are very nice parts as is, but I do make some minor modifications so they better match the "slab side" lowers.

[QUOTE=jntmjt1;1472372]Although it isn't AR15 related, some of you may appreciate another replica that I made (pictured below). From the Cold War era, it is a replica of an uncommon military issue pistol, the Hi-Standard HDM, silenced pistol. It was used by the OSS, and other "special" individuals.

I very much appreciated this thread, thanks for sharing. Looking at the retro AR's was like taking a trip back in time, and very much resembled the models I've admired in "Military Small Arms of the 20th Century." .. The suppressed High Standard HD has always intrigued me. Nice work!
