Looks nice, I've been kinda wanting an A1 with A2 handguard set-up myself, like the cops had in "Heat" though it looks like your barrel is hbar or gvt profile http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/2/2d/Heat-Mossberg-500-2.jpg/800px-Heat-Mossberg-500-2.jpg correct its a gov. profile, ill working on some grey anodize a1 lowers, with either a2 stock or a1 e style stock. http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/2/2d/Heat-Mossberg-500-2.jpg/800px-Heat-Mossberg-500-2.jpg |

That upper looks a lot better than the pictures posted by seller. But BCG looks like hell  Still a good buy at $425 bucks for a complete all Colt upper.
ETA: Now you have to get a Canuckian engraved 80% to go with that upper  the bcg is just lighter than the darker carriers we see, in really good shape tho. I have a colt sp2 rifle in storage that looks identical to this. these are a funny combo of parts. but still colt. lol. |

should I use a a2 lower or a1? Your call IMO. A1 if you want to call it an early C7. Or A2 lower if later. What lower did the Canadian's use on their A7's with an A1 C H upper? Find out and go from there. The C H upper with brass deflector is rather cool and retro. And I like it! |

Yup, turned mine into a early C7 - but kind of went whole hog and searched out a Diamaco BCG and CS stock. http://<a href=http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/fastswift1/IMG_3852.jpg</a>" /> http://<a href=http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/fastswift1/IMG_3848.jpg</a>" /> Rapidex knob is the schnizzle....as Wes Humpston would say. |

They were developed parallel with the M16A2 from the M16A1E1 project. |

Funny this popped up again. I did alot of research from what was available on the web....there isn't a lot. There is an Airsoft forum web site that has more info on this weapon than on any other. There is also one YouTube video with a ton of pictures and a guy narrating information in the background that I found most helpful.
I just decided to re-coat my lower again yesterday trying to get a match to the upper darker colt gray upper. Think I finally nailed it using a blend of Gray black flat and So-com black from Norelles.
