[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help identifying this Upper Receiver?

Picked this up at a show. CK stamped. No other markings that I can find. Does not have m4 cuts. What rifle do you think it came from and what would be an appropriate configuration if I wanted to use it in a future build; if I wanted to keep it somewhat correct?

Thanks in advance for any information.

looks like a colt c7. the canadians used them.

Yep. Colt/Kaiser Aluminum IIRC. Real Colt C7 uppers aren't real common. Since it wasn't made with M4 cuts, I'd use a ltwt barrel and build a Canadian carbine out of it eh?

Thanks for replies. I noticed that it does not have the Colt Proof stamps near the ejection cover; would this be due to being used in another country?

not sure when the proof marks ended, i haven't seen one on an a2 so it's feasible they ended around the c7 timeframe.

Uh....sorry. Morg mentioned Canadians, and I may have a mild Strange Brew obsession.

Apologies for the hijack....

Ahh, it has been years, uh decades since I saw Strange Brew, eh.

You hijacked the thread you hoser.

i checked and my Colt C7 has proof marks. mine came with a m4 1/7 barrel with newer matte m4 style handguards.
