    New Brownells A1 clone

    Anyone have info on rifle specs, or who's making these for them? If I had to guess, I would say Aero. They don't give much in the way of specs on the website. An A1 clone has been on my want list for a while

    My 7 iron is more accurate than my capabilities. Same with my AR.

    Thanks
    Interesting
    I like that xm177
    But would have been nice if they did a
    762/51 as that is the true original

    The upper and lower receivers are NoDak Spud. you can see NDS under the rear sight. Don't know about the rest of the rifle.

    Like I said above, the link in the original post has part-by-part details for each model gun. Receivers forged by NDS, upper machined by Brownells, lower machined by Aero.

    12.7” 5.56x45mm NATO Barrel with 1-12 twist & chrome bore

    That's a only bit more twist than the Reformation
    I suppose anything higher than 55grain is going to be pretty unstable?

    I shot 62gr out of a M16A1 a few times. Not super accurate but not too many keyholes.

    That said, for 1200, Brownells best include a mixtape of CCR, Smokey Robinson, Hendrix, The Stones, and some Motown.
