Was at the Valley Forge gun show today. It was kinda small compared to the last time I was there, several months ago. But- as I was perusing the tables and merchandise, I saw an A2 upper with all the fixins. It had a FSB wire tied to it, that was complete with post and detent. I looked at the price tag, and no way was I gonna put ti down, lol. $60 out the door

Nice! I just payed 150 for an assembled A2 upper, 60 is a great deal. But you cant post something like this without PICS

what does it say on the FSB? Or what are the markings? BTW: Nice upper, appears to never have been assembled, threads on the uppers are virgin, and the port door pad has no dings from hitting the lower receiver fence. The best deal I got today was another dremel tool for $5.00.....

FSB is "F" marked, and looks like an amateur removed the pins from it. But I'm not complaining at all.

That upper is in awesome shape, great deal. But like hipshot said, that FSB is for an M4

I have a used non F marked FSB that I am either going to put on my new barrel, or I'm going to get a new undrilled non F marked FSB to install.

That A2 upper is in excellent condition and $60 bucks with the F marked FSB is a good deal. All I ever find at our GS are beef jerky & beanie babies

Great price on the A2 upper. I don't think I have ever seen one sold for that little before. Nice find.

Smallest one ever and David must have gotten everything retro in the entire show. Nice score. Last show there both sides were open and full. There was a lot of empty space this time. I would have gotten there sooner but there was a traffic jam on 476 due to construction. I also heard there was a big show in Harrisburg this weekend, and that may have had something to do with a lack of vendors. Edit: I did score a nice OD cotton M1 sling, used with lightly rusted hardware

Back before sandy hook my room mate got a colt take off with m4 ramps that someone wanted an flat top instead at my lgs for 40 assembled (sight, foward assist, dust cover). He said he had a few more in storage, I went back a few months later and he said they were gone (whether they really were or not,I have no clue). I ended up with that upper, a rra a2 stock assembly (tube, spring, buffer, stock body) and a gunfighter mod 3 for 60 bucks, that's what kicked off my budget a2 build.

Those crazies. Nice upper. Yeah, not a brass ding on the deflector. |

Just an FYI you can use that fsb with that upper. The sight will just be cranked down a bit.

I passed on a complete one for $75 at a recent gun show, and in retrospect I should have bought it.

It doesnt even look like it's been fired from what I can see |

It doesnt even look like it's been fired from what I can see I only buy FN A2 uppers and usually like new gray or black ones for $80-$100 each. All from the same person for the past 4 years...He sells on the EE and GB under the same username, anyone care to take a guess who? |

This guy
Seems he's upped his prices lately, glad I bought enough to last me for the rest of my lifetime. |

Looks like my "new" A2 upper is turning into another build. I wasn't gonna build another one, but the damn BRD is biting me hard, lol. I have a new M4 style barrel, I have 3 80% lowers, and enough parts for 2 complete LPK's. I just got a set of handguards off of the EE, and I have to order a stock, and flash hider.
