The long-nose aesthetic of the XM177 is iconic in retro circles, but easily recognizable by most for its pop-culture prowess. So began the Sleeper Carbine, a gun with groovy retro-style powered by modern parts under the hood. We love retro style, but we also enjoy the benefits of modern engineering. True retro AR clone builds take weeks or months of research and scavenging, depending on your level of dedication, to find period-accurate ev-er-y-thing down to pins and screws. Whether replicating prototypes from the 1950s and ’60s or reproducing the specific guns of special units, cloning is more popular than ever. Whatever the reason, rebuilding black guns from bygone eras is a thriving subculture of AR owners. Retro and clone AR builds have exploded in popularity over the last decade.
