| Okay, so I'm doing a 727 build. Don't want to rehash the A2's are not retro argument. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether 727's used A1 or A2 flash hiders, whether they used lock washers, peel washers or crush washers, whether they used M4 or CAR handguards, and which stock. Thanks! |

Had one back in 2000-2001. It had an A2 flash hider with peel washer, fiberlight stock on a 4 position tube but with a CAR lock ring, M4 cut barrel with a standard FSB and standard CAR handguards. It had the older side sling swivel adapter with with markings for M16A1 and M16A2. Lower was A2.

I seem to be a little out of sync, FH-wise...I thought the progression was - 3-prong full cage partial cage IMO, only the partial cage would require a peel washer...No need to "time" the full cage... So why would the A2 need a peel washer???  Fixed it for you. 
Solid bottom FH's are "A2", and require the peel washer for timing. |

even though its *not retro*. Pssh! 
The continuing evolution of my "BHD" / RO727 / RO723 carbine, which is actually probably not long for this world, as I think it may be split out into two separate projects, a lightweight barreled 723 and a notched barrel 727.

Don't tempt me. I picked up a small pin 6520 lower a while back for my base. Replaced the commercial M4 stock it was wearing with a NOS Colt 2 position tube and "N 1" stock, and am collecting the other pieces for the project now. I've got a bare 723 upper and a bare A2 upper, both dark gray close to the shade of the lower, and both with the carbine feedramps. Figured once I got each built up (lightweight barrel for the 723 and a stepped barrel for the A2) and could just swap them out on the lower depending on my fancy. Last thing I need is to get another lower...

A2 FH with peel washer CAR Handguards Fiberlite 2 position stock with old style lock ring A2 pistol grip Lower is marked M16A2, but could be either A2 or A1 style forging. HTH, ~Augee The one I was issued in 2000 had a 4 position stock but other than that like you posted above. |
