It was an AR upper that was to be imported to the US from the Philippines think.
Around $500.00
No Fwd assist.

What was it?

currently in front line service.

I have several AA uppers and all have run great - no happy switch sadly, but that's another issue.  How's the support going to be from Taiwan on these uppers? What handguards, charging handles, etc will fit them?

Sure, the AA is "commercial" but it's also built around the milspec upper.... this looks interesting, but more SIG 550-ish in that it's not terribly compatible with milspec stuff other than the interface to the lower?

OK so I just grabbed the one I have laying here

Geissele charging handle dropped right in....so charging handles are the same
firing pin, cam pin, firing pin retainer and it looks like even a GI bolt would work as well
along with using standard bolt parts.......

Muzzle has standard threads so you can stuff whatever you want on it.......

handguards though are proprietary........

front sight is standard

No bidding....just one supplier: the 205th Joint service Arsenal with history traces back to the imperial time. There's no incentive to making it cheap for the ROCA.

If I wanted to make a case for it I'd add in

it has a cold hammer forged barrel......that is pretty incredible too if
you price what a good cold hammer forged AR barrel costs

look at what an FN cold hammer forged barrel runs
http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/barrel-parts/rifle-barrels/ar-15-m16-5-56x45mm-cold-hammer-forged-barrels-prod71548.aspx

so for $599 it seems like a pretty good deal....

Is there the sling attachment eyelet on the upper you have? It is a small piece attached to the side knob for the gas piston.















 



Also, can yo do some detailed photos of it? I'm really excited about this.

If you mounted this on a lower receiver with a foreign made pistol grip, foreign made stock and an HK steel mag would that constitute a 922r compliance violation?

Who would be held responsible for fixing tens of thousands of units if they fucked something up.  And cause it is Tiwan they would probably get suicided for fucking up too.

Excess gas bleeding out near the front site and muzzle most likely. That and a lot of rapid shooting at the demo. I wonder what the barrel life expectancy is?

Sadly, the K2 upper is longer then an AR.

I always had the idea of a SIG 55x AR upper, but its the same deal.
