| I don't know if the there's been a consensus as yet to distinguish between HR and GM uppers. ?? I have one that looks identical to yours in color, but will have to look and see if it has any other characteristics. Judging by the loose grinding tolerances in the ends of the carry handle channel, I'd guess at it being an H&R. |

From my research and the examples that I have and have handled, I agree it is likely not a GM. And not like any Colt I've seen either. I would speculate it is an H&R.
Really nice piece there Veltro, interesting forging characteristics for sure, lots of square angles and sharp corners, flashing, etc. And of course the finish is beautiful!! Wish it had its original barrlel, that would help ID for sure. Nice score my man!! |

Cool upper. I think that receiver is most like one that member JoeBud has, maybe he can post some pics. Here are some other posts that might help:

(am I imagining this?) I don't think any other type of upper has that combination. Look at the shape of the arrow and "R" too. ETA: Another helpful thread, more pictures of JoeBud's uppers here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/572810_.html |
