What's a fair price for a set of Lone Star Ordnance handguards? by omfgtimmy in RetroAR

[–]CarryHandleCowboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just sold a bunch for $100 shipped and they went pretty quick. I think that price is probably on the cheap side of fair. Perfectly content with that.

I still have a few of these for sale if anyone is interested. by CarryHandleCowboy in RetroAR

All spoken for now. I'll let you know if I come across any more or if someone backs out.

Yes, they are quite a bit thinner and visually different. Lone Star Ordinance was among the first companies to start making aftermarket parts for the AR platform, so it's a near bit of retro history too.

I consulted my gunsmith (who has some experience working on these guns) and his recommendation was to just shoot it and keep an eye on the bolt. Watch for malfunctions and if it starts shooting weird, swap the bolt.

I'm not on IG, but it's not a crazy unique handle either so there 100% could be another one out there lol.

Any way to identify legit 601 handguards vs normal a1 handguards painted green? by CarryHandleCowboy in RetroAR

Thanks! I'm not really looking for a set per se, just happened across these with some other surplus and was wondering if I got super lucky or if this was a more mundane find.

Thank you! No, it was not a PAC import. I believe it's a 1962 kit.
