I have a few questions relating to custom builds that are probably REALLY newbish.
First, I notice that on some custom builds, there is what looks like a little rubber piece that stretches along the side of the receiver between the FCG pins. What is this and why is it desirable enough to add to a custom rifle?
Second, I noticed recently that an ad in SGN was selling "Retro" AR lowers. What exactly would make a lower "retro"? I was under the impression that only the upper and buttstock has changed since the A1.
That is all for now. Thank you for your time.
