    This A2 upper from Fulton gives you the option of M4 or non-M4 feed ramps https://www.fulton-armory.com/upperr...ra2usgi-1.aspx

    Check with https://retrorifles.com/collections/...-muzzle-device and see if their 20" A2 barrel comes with M4 feed ramps or not

    Are Retro Rifles legit? I only ask because I’ve never heard of them in this forum.

    Buy a Berreta ARX if you don’t have one; your ARs won’t mind sharing the safe with this sexy Italian beauty.

    I've yet to use them. Some guys on TOS have their noses bent out of shape over RetroRifles because shipping takes a few days longer than they like. RetroRifles has a 10" upper I'm interested in for a GAU-5/A build I'm planning. One reason we don't hear about RetroRifles here is that they specialize in retro ARs.

    Also check with https://www.tntesales.com/ for 20 inch A2 barrels

    I’ll speak with them. They may be able to do something with the upper I purchased. I read their •About Us• and my instinct tells me they are earnest.

    I’d love to see your GAU-5/A when you complete it. I think it and the XM177E2 are the sexiest ARs ever conceived. I was lazy and purchased Troy’s GAU-5/A and XM177E2. My dad carried the former and my grandpa the latter in Vietnam. It was worth buying both of those rifles just to see the joy both my dad and grandpa experienced when we took the rifles out to the range. It was also fun to hear them bitch about how much heavier the AR I had set-up like the M4 I used in Afghanistan was.

    There are plenty of people that claim it's perfectly ok to run a rifle upper with an M4 feedramp barrel. I've never done it, but I've seen a bunch that work just fine.

    AK Doug,

    Oh okay, I thought I gone batsh*t coo coo for Coco Puffs after all of my research last night. I know it’s can’t be optimal but I’d have to go through a few ARs and an ARX before I’d need this one to defend the family et al. Many Thanks!

    So I’ve confirmed with the seller that he will be swaping out the HBAR upper for a lightweight Sporter upper with M4 feed ramps. Cloning asthetics aside, this lightweight Sporter with M4 feed ramps should have no issues being mated with a modern 20” barrel also with M4 feed ramps, correct?

    Excellent. Thank you. Ha Ha Ha! I feel like a derp when you put it that way. It’s just that old Colts make my head spin with their myriad variations.

    The Devil is in the details. Learning the details and paying attention to them will make your life easier.

    We all gotta start someplace.
