patiently waiting, _DR anyone think it would be a good idea for the site management to host these in their Information section as a reference item? There is little more that identifies the AR15 than the rollmarks and other markings. Seems like a natural ..............to me at least. [on my way to the Site Suggestions area now] |

I have one of these also, yours is the first I've heard of other than mine. My serial number is in the same range as yours - what else can you tell about the origins of your gun? Do you know if these were supposed to be patrol guns, or what? The story I got from the guy at Hoplite - he had some of these but I acquired mine elsewhere - was that Colt made these for some LE department rifle team. |

I have one of these, too - do you know anything about its origins? AFAIK, almost all the LEO - stamped guns were carbines. I was wondering if these were early patrol car guns or something, or if they were made for LEO rifle teams, as one story has it. |

From kjedmondson182's posting showing the markings on an FN's carry handle. I saw the same marking (crooked triangle-like) on a Bushmaster, and a S&W AR/M4 upper this weekend at a local store. So who's OEM forging is this? Thanks. triggerz |
Nice pics! A new acquisition? |

Still no JOY with the links... I could probably host the info if that is a problem... depending on data traffic. I'm sure it is not highly hit like ammo oracle or the like... I sure could use some of that info right now... I'll ask here too: Is the "broken A" upper an Anchor Harvey forging? Rmpl |

I wasn't sure what to get for the girl who has everything but a rifle, so Anvil Arms helped. My daughter is moving out for college this fall. This receiver set is for a rifle build. I've got all the parts specced out, and she'll build it with her grandpa. It'll be a fun project for her.
