t15, Any update?

yes, i have received the upper! all went smoothly and i am satisfied. bolt was dry as a bone and there was quite a bit of carbon around the bore. barrel looks good, far from being shot out. passes the head space gauges and everythings marked colt!
i hope it is a shooter, it will be a while before i can spend any decent amount of time on the range. mine seems to have more wear than yours especially on the deflector and top of the handle, but thats ok. has tritium sights installed and the same green paint under the windage screw.

Awesome! Now you need some skinny 6-hole hand guards and an N1 fiberlite stock to 'finish' the M733 look.
Mine is surprisingly accurate. At least, it is at 25yds. The green paint is a strange trait to have in common.

i think i am going to try the rock river arms carbine hand guards are they are said to be very comparable to the colts @ $20 ouch! the stock situation is a bit worse as model 1 sales seems to only sell them as a kit with buffer and spring for $40 :-(
M&A Parts has just the stock body.

Howdy,
This thread has caused serious flashbacks.
Back in the "Day" I carried a 11.5" barreled CAR-16 Commando w/ A1 flash hider ( removed the long birdcage unit ).
Back in '82 during a field day at the armory I came across a chrome lined 14.5" 1:12 twist Commando barrel and was told to "shitcan" it. Instead I kept it and one day I'll do something with it. I thought about building a dedicated .22LR upper ( I have 2 Ciener kits ) but lately have been thinking about a Commando clone
Here's a pic:
It even has the caps for the old triangle handguards.
