What do you guys think about the uppers on these A1 parts kits at Apex? Do they look like H&R or Hydra-Matic?

Looking at the 4th photo, I can't see forge flash sticking out on the front of the carry handle. With that and the shape of the pistol grip, it makes me think that it's a refurbished GM upper.

Maybe, I couldn’t see a photo that showed the front well enough to see forge flash.

It shows 9 in stock that means you are not necessarily getting the one pictured. All of the photos listed for those M16A1 parts kit (3 separate pages) pictured appear to be arsenal refinish type (black spray paint).
