My Commercial Off The Shelf COTS M16A2 redition.

I ended up using a black anodized upper and 80% lower since I couldn't find a blank grey one.  

14.5in Remington Chrome lined SOCOM barrel with A2 upper. Adco spacer, peel washer, then I pinned and welded it.  Various parts off the EE.  Waiting on an ugly 80s sling thing for the front sight base.

I just finished a build with one of those Remington uppers.

It's shooting 2.25" groups at 200 yards

Nice looking carbine. I bet it will shoot great.

What finish/color did you use on the receivers?

I lucked out on the anodizing matching, they came that way from different places years apart!

Nice OP. I did something similar on a PSA M16A2 lower with a Colt M4 bbl,  except I used an A2 stock since I like full-stocked carbines.

I'm trying to build one as well. I bought an Armalite A2 carbine upper assembly a few years ago, and I'm trying to find an Armalite-marked lower to finish it (OCD of me, ha ha. The lower receiver is the only piece I need; I have everything else.
