Colt or no?

[fordemti]

Splintered A = Anchor Harvey Aluminum Forging. Used by a couple different mfgrs. If there isn't a C in a square or a triangle forward of the ejection port it probably isn't a Colt upper.

Well that sucks. So somebody took a random A1 upper and put a Colt barrel and other parts in it? Kinda retarded.

Why is it retarded? Maybe you should do your research first...then buy.

Well considering I paid $400 with a semi bcg and just bought it two weeks ago, who gives a shit who made it? I was hoping it was Colt but hell even the crappy uppers are going for more than that now. I sold the bcg for $175 so basically I got a complete upper for $225.

The small forward assist and brass deflector are newer than the examples on my A1; what exactly do you want to make of it?
Do you have a lower?

Personally, I'm a pencil barrel fan.

Yes. I have a couple of lowers. I'm just going to make a 20" rifle out of it. I figured why not. Might as well use it. I believe this to be a pencil barrel as well. Definitely not an HBAR.

This quote makes me think you bought it thinking you found a Colt upper. Then you came here to confirm it. Random upper and Colt barrel = retarded to you. Others may think otherwise.

Well I just find it odd why you'd spend money on a Colt barrel and front end basically to put it on a non-colt upper. But like is said, I'll use it.

Not to argue the point...or take this thread sideways...but what does it matter?

Does the upper make a difference in accuracy? Or does the barrel make accuracy? Anyway you parted it out. Good job on making some coin.

[fordemti]

You have a point. The barrel is where the accuracy is. I'm keeping this upper and I've already slapped it on a PSA lower with A2 stock. Looks good and even though it doesn't handle as quickly as my M4, it feels really good in the hands.
