That is a darn good price for all of that.Quote:

What’s up with the staking on those BCG’s? Also, issued guns do not have CHF barrels.Quote:

That’s the first time I’ve seen a Cerro-marked FN M16A4 upper receiver for sale. While I don’t have closeup photos of the specific rifle that I was issued back in 2005, my impression from looking at photos is that earlier M16A4s were marked that way. I probably shouldn’t have spent the money, but it was a great price (most uppers don’t come with a $100 carry handle), and it will get me a lot closer to building a clone of my issued rifle. Thanks!
Gorgeous rifle. Great inspiration for a build I’m doing. Same thing, I’m just stuck with a large pin A2 upper receiver. As soon as I get my A4, she’ll be irons only.
Stupid question... what's the milspec for the adjustable-stock option on M16A4? I know it's coded as coming from ARDEC, but haven't been able to find anything beyond that--is it as simple as the field-expedient "slap on an M4 tube/telestock/buffer assembly" I've read about having been done as an expedient measure in the field, or something else entirely?
