Canadian m16a4? I was going through some boxes and found this upper...... wondering what that value of it is and what its suppose to be like completed?

Looks like a standard A2/A4 Colt barrel with RAS and flat top upper. It would end up looking pretty much like the other A4s shown in this thread when completed.

Does anyone know anything about these?
Unbranded M5 (and M4) RAS with rail covers, under $200 at Brownells. Markings look like 8FW25, CAGE Code for Prudent American Technologies? I only knew of KAC and P&S being contracted to manufacture these. Good news is they seem to be available and affordable, especially if you get dealer pricing at Brownells. https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts/rifle-parts/rifle-handguards-parts/ar-15-rail-adapter-systems/ https://prudentamerican.com/firearm-parts/ |

Ok, so my Colt A4 is now an A5. That's alright. I have another 20" that will become a proper A4...

Not clone correct but as close to A4 as I'm willing to get right now. Upper is newer Colt, "R" marked chamber bell indicating it was a contracted barrel made by Rosco, which was a little disappointing (at least give me Wilson if it's out sourced!) Upper receiver itself is only keyhole marked and obviously a different shade, also contracted out. Not sure if the RMR will stay there, I just had an extra collecting dust. The larue LT681 mount is perfect for the eye relief I want but is aesthetically less pleasing having the Acog hanging that far back.

Ease of use/correct eye relief is way more important. I’ve seen tons of military photos of folks with their ACOGs positioned as far as possible to the rear - some guys even put their BUIS in front of their ACOGs (if used at all). Also, having your flashlight that far forward gives your rifle an overall well balanced look - to me, anyway. |

I finally broke down and joined the club and got a Colt A4. It was sitting at GT Dist for a while. I saw it in February when I was there. I went back two weeks ago and she was still there. It had been marked down to $899 and they had an additional $25 off on new guns that day. I believe it’s a 2020 production from looking at the serial number.

Firearms safety – no big deal – totally optional. To each their own, I suppose. Live and let die. It's a picture dude 😎 I get it, I suppose I sounded like a dick - figured some folks might take it that way, but in this case the blowback was worth it to me. If I saw someone do that around me in a public place, even in a private place for that matter, I’d definitely say something. Though this is an online forum, it still seems kind of like a public place, as anyone/everyone can see everything posted here. I’ve also never known anyone that knows anything whatsoever about firearms safety to ever do that, let alone post a photograph of themselves doing it in a public forum. I have, however, seen photos & videos online (Reddit, YouTube, other forums, etc.) of people with their fingers inappropriately on the trigger, sometimes flagging others, and the commentary/criticism/ridicule they receive is a hell of a lot worse than anything I said. Anyway, I didn’t purposely offend anyone, but negligence is negligence, even if it’s just a picture. And in a worst case scenario, it could lead to a negligent discharge resulting in serious injury or death. |
