Ballistic Advantage makes the retro barrels for Brownells. Nodak Spud supplies the upper and lower receiver forgings and the 2-position buffer tubes. Battle Rifle Co. merely assembles some rifles using the Brownells/Nodak Spud receivers. I am not sure where they get their barrels,, but it is possible that they are coming from Brownells as well. They are also using some C7 type receivers on some of their retro-inspired builds. Personally, I am not impressed enough to buy from those guys. You can build one cheaper that you can buy one from them. I guess it all depends on the person as to what they want and are willing to pay and/or wait for. Brownells is also getting ready to release their own line of retro ARs as evidenced by a video I saw this morning from the Shot Show. Brownells is making an announcement at 2PM (PST) today.
