I picked up this 12.5 upper super cheap with the plan to sbr it. I figured I needed to put it on a pistol lower until I got my paper work in order. Bought a PWS RE and installed it on a new lower I had in the spares box. First time I have played with these without a stock attached, I like it. Now I want to do a 7.5' on a flat top upper when my paper work arrives and 12.5 becomes a sbr. I'm looking at my 14.5 and thinking "man, that barrel is long"
I'm not positive but I think this A1 upper is all Colt.

Quoted:
Was the lower sold to you as a rifle or "other" before you threw it in your parts box? Other. I picked up four of these when on sale for $50 each last Xmas. I should have my "trust" finished next week and then I'll start dealing with the atf form. Quoted:]7.5's make every AR you own seem outrageously huge from that point on.
No kidding, this is going to feed the addiction

No kidding, this is going to feed the addiction Just wanted to make sure you didnt build it up as a rifle at first. |
| I have a similar upper on my DPMS lower, I haven't been able to find any kind of stamps or markings on the barrel or the upper really. Only difference is someone put a larger sized forward assist on mine. I have no intent of making it an SBR but I am planning on building one. Love your set up! |
Thanks. I'm seeing a lot of AR parts being listed in my local gun forums, some pretty good deals. I picked up this ACE ultra light RE for $40, should be good for a sbr or pistol. A A2 stripped upper, missing the flip aperture with a new BM BCG for $100. I've got the aperture and dust cover so $12 for a FA and it's complete. I would like to find a deal on a 7.5 barrel, need to order lowers.
