Fat M4 hand guards would have came factory on any colt carbine past 2008. I have never seen a 727 made past the mid 2000s.
2008 and earlier would have been skinny handgaurds. However I have seen 727s made past 1994 that had fat M4 handgaurds that were ordered this way. The standard skinny handgaurd was the catalog spec until 2008.
Any 727 made before 1994 would most definately have skinny handgaurds as the fat ones weren't invented yet.
It would be plausible for a RAS/RIS to be used on a 727 in the early days of SOPMOD or MWS but have never seen a picture or example of this.
What era of gun are you trying to recreate?
