Brownells Reintroduces the BRN-601
Grinnell, Iowa – (ArmsVault) – Brownells is excited to announce the reintroduction of the BRN-601 Retro Upper Receiver. The BRN-601 addresses the long-standing challenges faced by retro AR-15 enthusiasts in their quest for authentic, often scarce components.
The BRN-601 is a detail-accurate replica of the upper receiver on the first AR-15 type rifle adopted in the early 1960s. It features the correct “slickside” receiver, fine-quality matte gray anodized finish, a 20″ 5.56x45mm NATO barrel with a 1-12″ twist and chrome-lined bore, chromed slickside M16 bolt-carrier group with a robust 9310 steel alloy bolt, and the distinctive original three prong “duckbill” flash hider.
