Sorry, I was unaware that there were more variations than the one I have, I've only seen them with an AR type handle and a rail with sights. Mine is the latter.

That is one of the knock off ones made by either of two companies. Actually its the same company (blackthorne) that changed its name to hide the disaster it was. The upper is notorious for being a POS. You can tell its not a Diemaco/Colt due to the flat texture of the plastic parts. Under the handguards you will find the gas tube is not the beefed up heavy one that was used on the originals. The bipod is also a usually screwed up in that there is not stops for the swiveling. Another give away is they have a forward assist on the upper which the originals do not since a forward assist is dangerous on the open bolt LMG M16. The flat tops all had the bipod mounted off a spigot and is a Parker Hale bipod.

I prefer the LMG uppers like mine
 Attached FileReally both seemed like kind of a silly idea as they were still going to be fed by 30 round mags and would eat through them in no time. |

LMGs should be belt fed in my opinion and I think the M249 actually got it right with the ability to belt feed or feed from mags in an emergency.
Drums are ok but have the logistical problems of carrying them even when empty unless you leave them laying. Links get left in a pile when you’re done with them

The good thing about drums is that if your rifle goes down for some reason, you can hand it off to a designated back up team member who can flip the happy switch and become a temp. to get you through it.

I should have bought one of these while they were available. With those old LMG uppers, I recall it seemed like for years dealers couldn't give them away, then suddenly they became $2000+. |

I have a couple of registered receivers and would like to make one an open bolt gun with that Colt LMG upper.
Anyone know where an open bolt M16 kit is ? |
