The gun industry is full of fads, and I don\u2019t mean that in a bad way. A few years past, everything was M-LOK and operators, but slowly the retro rifle fad has taken over. It\u2019s on its way out the door now, but it was a good ride. That Retro rifle wave is how I ended up with a replica M16A1 made from an LRB<\/a> M16A1 lower and mostly Colt surplus parts. At the peak of M-LOK and operating, someone decided retro was the way to go.<\/p>\n

At this point, most of this generation had likely been more than exposed to modern rifles, and some were likely curious about what it was and how much it had changed. That\u2019s what lead me to build this gun. That and the fact someone sold an LRB lower for a song. LRB is a neat company. They are the masters of the M14.<\/p>\n
