I notice that AU has some stripped M5 CM9-10H uppers, there is no mention if they are new or used but they look used in the pictures.

I have a 16-inch AR6951 and was wondering if my existing bolt and charging handle will work in this upper? If so I may do a form 1 and SBR my existing lower.

I hate to buy another BCG/Charing handle if I don't need it.

I emailed AU and they claim they are new from Colt. Still not sure if the BCG and lower are compatible with my AR6951 lower.

I would think they use the same BCG but you never know.  Looks like it fits on an M5 style lower.  Man those pics on AU don't look new lol.

The pictures looked used, you can see scrapes on the rails and other little marks on the upper. I am not too worried about the looks as much as wondering if my BCG will work with the M5 upper.

I would assume it will work on standard milspec lower & uses standard BCG/CH just like the bigger brother in 556… so that existing guns can be upgraded like the italian army did in 2023
