Traded for several NoS M-16 barrels.   Had some other parts here and there.  Then Brownells had their sale......

So I ended up with this rifle when I was done.  I find it to be kind of ugly.

A2 Flashhider
A1 1-12" Pencil Barrel
A3 Upper Receiver
A2 Lower Receiver
A1 Buttstock

All on top of the first stripped lower I bought back in 2006 or 2007.  
I have an A1 grip that I should have installed.

To bring it into the 21st century, I added a Gasbuster charging handle and YHM freefloat.
If I ever shoot it, I'll probably put some sort of red dot on it, but for now, I had the carry handle gathering dust.

Looks like an A4 to me, but the A3 I shot had a fixed carry handle.

When the M16A3 first came out, it did have a fixed carry handle, and only the A4 had the flat-top.  The only difference between the A2 and A3 was that the A3 had AUTO instead of BURST.

Colt jumped the gun in the early 90s before the military officially type-classified the A3 and A4, and called some of their flat-top commercial models AR-15 A3's, while other commercial makers like Armalite kept their nomenclature aligned with the military.

By 2008 (maybe sooner), the military had revised the specification and reissued the TM -23&P for the M16 series, and the A3 and A4 were then both officially flat-tops.
