Wait until you see if the FA bolt carrier works; if you have a sear block, it may not.

Thanks! I will. It cycles and passes a functions check. The lower is a new M4 marked Colt.

I'm still using my half moon carrier; will eventually replace, but save as a spare, in case I pick up a Colt with a sear block.

Post pics if you cut it to 14.5". I can't quite bear to do that to my 6520 despite preferring 14.5" to 16" with a carbine-length gas system, if it we re anything but a semi-vintage Colt I'd probably have it done.
I did swap out the "half moon" bolt carrier and M4 waffle stock for a Colt FA carrier and Colt "N" CAR stock though.
Plus I've done a couple other "retros" that aren't 100% correct, but I still like 'em.
Same gun as above but doing a Fallout: New Vegas service rifle impression with a Brownells brown retro stock set.

Sold it north, after the ban sunset.
