| I have an A1 upper receiver,tear-drop forward assist,no shell deflector,with dust cover. It is used,unknown mfg. What is something like this worth? Thanks |
|
Any markings in front of the ejection port?
Is the front takedown pin hole 0.250" diameter or 0.315" diameter? Any pics? NoDak Spud is forging NEW A1 receivers just as you described, so the prices will drop on surplus uppers of unknown manufacture unless there is something that sets them apart from newly forged and anodized uppers. |

Quoted:
I cant post a pic for some reason. There are no markings that I can see. It looks like the standard takedown pin hole. It fits onto my Bush. lower. 
Rebated front take down pin hole so it is more than likely a Colt and the proof stamps in front of the ejection port are likely covered by the DuraCoat. 
Correct ejection port cover and forward assist and windage and elevation wheel. Ones with original finish are going around $150-$160. The coating will detract a bit from the value as it would probably have to go to US Anodizing to be stripped and reanodized. Hope this helps. uxb |
