I have one that I want to use for a retro carbine, either a 629 or a 653. I've read that they were sometimes used as replacement uppers and may have been originally black.
I have a few questions maybe you guys could help with: 1) Since they were used as replacement uppers are they a "free for all"; meaning they could have been found on either model? 2) Were they used for a specific model as well as replacement uppers? 3) Why didn't they have proof marks? Although I prefer the 629, I'm thinking a XM grey 653 would be more appropriate. I want to get it off to US Anodizing and start looking for a barrel assembly while waiting. Thanks for any input. ETA: I found it. CH uppers were commonly found on 653's. Some late SP1's had them, also. |
