    What's the other side of the gun look like?

    Big difference in SN between those two rifles, 5.6 mil and 9.2 mil.

    Colt did a bunch of weird shit. You will see a1's done off a2 forges and a2's with a1 forges and a1 uppers. They also sold a2's marked burst with factory full auto triggers in them(the 727 comes to mind).

    Now if you see a1's and a2's off the later a4/m4 forges they were ones remade at colt. There is a long thread out there(might be on tos) about a guy at colt buying transferable's out of their tool rooms and remaking them on new lowers even after the atf said it could no longer be done. Few of them are stamped wrong too in regards to the MFG info. Its how you see transferable a1's done in factory black on a a4 forging.
