I did not post this in the retro forum due to the fact there are still GUUs in use in the sand box. I would like to see some pics of these, if anyone has any they want to share. When did the AF start building the GUU? I remember seeing carbines in the hands of SPs when I was in ('98-'02), but I don't recall what they were. I am currently building a clone using the following: RRA lower receiver w/ internals RRA CAR handguards and gas tube RRA Bolt, Carrier, and Charging Handle Tony's 4 position stock ( via Brownells), A1 pistol Grip (USGI) Colt M-16A1 upper receiver(from CDNN), 14.5" Wilson M-4 lightweight barrel (Del-Ton) A2 extended flash hider (pinned/welded on bbl) I realize the true GUU would have either no assist/deflector or both the FA and deflector, but I had the new Colt A1 upper laying around. Any chance the USAF used any uppers in the w/assist w/o deflector configuration on any carbine/rifle? Thanks for any help. |

| i don't miss carrying that POS...haahha....the newer ones had shell deflectors, so is this GUU-5/P gonna be full auto too??? USAF EOD (that's what i did), STS guys (till the M4 came along), dog handlers carried them....can't really remember cops carrying unless you consider doggie boys cops...hahahha.... |
The GUU-5Ps with the A1 upper (FA and no SD) are out there. I don’t seem to have a pic of my own, but here’s one form somewhere in cyberspace. I’ve seen em with all three different uppers, they’re still in inventory in some places, but slowly being replaced by the M4.  My favorite is the GUU-5P with the slick side M16 upper and M4 barrel.  |
