Taper pins? Honestly nothing better than Colts taper pins. Or a shaved FSP. You can re-pin with the original FSP but you cannot use a different FSP and get it to fit rock solid. They recommend that you replace the taper pins with fresh ones after two installations: so on the third removal. Ken Elmore of SAW used to shave FSPs. And I believe ADCO may shave them?
I would keep it, I believe you might be kind of guy that miss this upper in future. Otherwise, sell especially right now you can get good price for it and put the money toward something you really want. Maybe you need a nice scope, a really nice one?
Good advice. When he said upper I initially thought upper receiver. Since it's the upper assembly, I recommended he keep it. The value will only go up at this point, because Colt Defense may not be selling anymore in the foreseeable future. I would not part with any Colt parts.
Wow I am glad you guys told me to keep it. I can always save more money to buy new things so selling will not make much different.
Anyway here is how it’s looking right now:
MI drop-in quad rail
Holosun 510c
DD fixed rear sight
CMMG ambi charging handle
BCM grip, fore grip, and trigger guard
Larue rail covers on top and bottom
Magpul rail ladders on the sides
Magpul MS4 sling
Streamlight Protac 2HL (not sure if it holds up well - only 200 rounds thru it)
Love the look!

Nice. I like the pinned FSP better than a low pro gas block any day. Unless you are running a SPR or DMR the pinned FSP is optimal from my perspective. My 10” has a FSP I considered swapping for a gas block but whats the point? Id have to buy a high end hand guard and float a barrel that cant shoot beyond 200 meters anyway. No point. A Colt FSP is battle ready.
