Bought it at a show. Looks to be Colt upper and barrel in unfired condition. Seller claimed they were off Sheriff Dept M16's that were that were decommissioned. Whatever What have I got here? Sorry for the f'ed up way the photos display

Is the upper gray, or black? As nice as it is, I'm wondering if its not from CDNN. Do you care to disclose the price? His police story could be accurate. A lot of military A1s went to police departments and once they upgraded them they sold off the uppers. Nice find.

Thanks Joe and Quib

It is certainly more black then grey. I paid $100 for it. Am I correct that both the receiver and barrel markings are Colt? The seller claimed it was a standard barrel with 1:12 twist. Does this jive with what y'all see? Are the handguards original or reproductions. They are in too good of condition in my opinion to be original but I suppose its possible if it sat in a rack for many years

All Colt. Chrome 1/12 barrel. Very nice and NICE price!!

ETA: The HG's are original. No one makes "reproductions" AFAIK.

You did very well on the price. $250 would have been a fair price. It is surprising the condition of some of these given their age. I've seen and heard some good deals, but yours is at the top. Good job.

Great price! Now why can't I find deals like that?

Former PD, or former U.S. military aid to Central America, most of the A1 uppers available nowadays are in very good to excellent shape.
