    Ah, that explains it. I was searching for "waffle" and I guess Brownells search only looks at item name. Plus on my phone there is no ability to filter by manufacturer. Thanks!

    You may have seen all this but Brownell's has a -10A and a -10B. Guns are generally identical other than color of furniture. Also, the A has a fluted heavy barrel and 3-prong flash hider while the B has a lighter profile barrel and a birdcage hider.

    In addition to two complete rifles Brownell's is also selling parts. We can now buy uppers, lowers, a couple different barrels, etc.

    Using pics on the site below and Brownell's parts it should be possible to come up with a clone (or two) of rifles that have previously never been available.

    Have heard FSBs are sometimes canted, and furniture is flimsy - is this true?

    As stated above, not much market feedback so far...
    My Brownell M16A1 does not suffer from these flaws. Furniture is remarkably like some SP1 stuff I compared it to.

    The most interesting part of that, to me, is that B5 is making the N1/fiberlite stocks for Brownell's. Maybe that means we'll get the full spectrum of B5 colors in them, too....

    I can agree with this 100%. While I’m not too impressed with the current type D stock reproduction scheme I think the grip and handguards are well-done. Not the same chop-gun fiberglass material used back in the 60(s) - 80(s) but the same or better in strength without being as prone to chipping and somewhat lighter too. I’m very satisfied overall. The current light lime-type green used for the current 601 furniture needs to be changed ASAP.
