Think nothing of it Alan. We share what we can when we can. I like the older AR's too. I've been wanting to build an A1 myself for quite some time now. I do have a factory Colt AR15-A2(HB) that was a transitional model. It has a slab side lower on it. I don't want to break up an original rifle though, and will make my own lower for the A1. One of these days..... 
I even have an extra set of M16-A1 furniture sitting here if your son finds he can't locate any. (Short stock, straight pistol grip, triangular hand guards.) FWIW, I've seen some pretty cheap prices on stripped flat top upper receivers lately. I don't think you'll have any problem finding one if you want to do your own build as well.
Best of luck in your quest!
