Tin Man Riffe Competitor AR-15 Handle
I have seen several older threads showing the AR-15 handle that Tin Man designed for the Riffe Competitor. A friend of mine contacted Tin Man for me and he said that he no longer makes the handle. Is anyone selling one or does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks.

Re: Tin Man Riffe Competitor AR-15 Handle
The prototype that I made some years ago is the only one that I ever made. It's not something that I ever produced for sale, because with the tools that I have, it is way too time consuming to be practical. Mostly, I just wanted to see if I could do it. But I think some other guys have done other handle mods that might work.

Re: Tin Man Riffe Competitor AR-15 Handle
Tin Man, thanks for clearing that up. From those other threads I had gotten the impression that there had been a limited run of them and there might be a few out there. I did contact Phil Herranen about his handle that he makes and will explore that option further. I also showed pictures of your prototype to a friend who is a machinist and thinks he might be able to replicate it. Would you be willing to help us out with some of the dimensions as a starting point (if you still have them)? I ordered one of the Neptonics AR-15 mounts that you designed for us to use as a model, but I am wondering about the dimensions you used for the channel the barrel sits in. Thanks again. Rick
