I need an opinion of someone with more knowledge than myself! I have the chance to buy what looks like a Colt AR15A2. Then I found out it was a bit of a Frankengun. It has a 100% perfect AR15A2 slick side lower. Forward pin looks like a screw instead of a pin like the back pin. The upper is what I'm told is a Colt M4A1.
Ser.# GS0072XX. I broke it down for a quick looksee.
I don't think this firearm has had more than a mag thru it! It looks perfect!
I come's with Green Label box and three mags.
Do you think it's worth $1,200 bucks?
Thanks gentleman!

That lower would have a 16.1" barrel that would not be either a M4 or M4A1 profile.
Is the existing upper 14.5" with M203 slots and medium contour under the barrel? That would be a M4A1 barrel.

16 -inch barrel. It looks like medium contour M203 profile for grenade launcher.
Is there anything else I should be looking for?
I'll check it out tomorrow morning. I'll be the first in the door!

Whether it is worth it or not is up to you.  Personally, that is too much for me for what you are describing.

A2 lower should have a mag release fence, no?
Seriously, a tractor dealer from Possum Trot, KY has to explain this to you, a lawyer? - JPL

Win if you can, lose if you must, but always look good for the crowd.

I passed on it! The lower was all Colt A2 but the upper was made by Aero Precision.
