Not an A1 upper. It will work for a C7 build if it's in spec (DPMS "had" issues).

I might be incorrect, but the XM carbine is probably one of the only configurations that style upper was "not"used on.
Edit: I forgot the critical "not" in that sentence |

My first AR was a 16" heavy barrel with that upper rec. Probably and airsoft stock. No flash hider either. spray painted camo too..
I shot the hell out targets and didn't know the different. |

That upper receiver is an A2 upper. Upper Receiver M16A2-Field Sight, not to be confused with the more well known Upper Receiver M16A2 -Target Sight

You have all the parts to build that upper except for the receiver, which can be had off the EE right now for $100.00. I've been trying to get you to build a KISS Carbine for a while now, well this would be a perfect start/intro to retro builds for you. Sell off all the tacticool parts on that spare M4 upper you have, build a 723 and you will still have money in your pocket when your done. |

Edit to say never mind.... Dumb question |

If so thats the same barrel as that upper, you have that CAR stock to use, I can hook you up with a Colt CH, you'd need a Colt BCG, those are cheap right now...I see them anywhere from $100-$150.00 based on condition, I may even have spare MPC bolts to lighten your costs, you will have another LPK soon when I trade you one for those HGs, You can find A1/A2 FH's in the PIF threads(A2 is the correct FH), so all you need to buy is a cheap A2 lower, (Brownells is selling Bushy's for $50.00) a Colt BCG, and a cheap set of 6 hole RRA CAR HG's. You can build a 723 clone for under $400.00 with the parts you already have/will have. |

The A2 upper is barrel-less, but my other other m4 upper is fully built and has been flawless for a thousand rounds so I dont want to rip it apart. When I do this im just gonna buy a c7 upper as well as either a 14.5 or 16" barrel. Prob 14.5 w/ A2X |

I prefer the CNC warrior spacer, pinned with a regular A2 FH, myself - I think it looks better overall. John Thomas did a great job. Close as you can get IMO.

Morg, that does look very natural, I might just order 3-4 of those to justify shipping fees.Where did you find the gray delta ring? I've been looking for 2 for well over a year with no luck.

I had it on the shelf. Bought it a couple years ago off the EE I think. Grey Deltas are pretty rare, so I snatched it up. If I had the same problem, I'd probably just use grey rustoleum and bake it on the roof for awhile. I really dig how the spacer looks. For $4.99 it's ideal I think. Check out the 1st pic of the 1st carbine on the 1st page of the IDF/Kiss thread for a better idea of how it looks. Best option for a 14.5" IMO. I think it would work with a pinned Nt4 for suppressed work but I'm not absolutely sure. |

I just spoke with Dan from Blue Panda Cerakoting, I'm gonna send him 6 Delta rings to have redone light gray, I'll prolly use 2 and keep 1 for a future build and sell the rest to cover the cost to get them Cerakoted. |
