Finally got the XM177E2 complete.
All parts are original Colt thanks to genofromreno, boywonder, and another member here. Flashhider/grenade ring is Brick. Barrel work was done by John Thomas. Lower is an NDS A1 blem from a member here. I staked the castle nut after tightening, and found a dab of automotive gloss black paint is a perfect match to how Colt covered their stake marks.

You forgot to mention the E1 has a partial fence and the E2 has a full fence. |

I also thought E1s lacked the forward assist where the E2 added it. 
609 - XM177E1 610- XM177 and inch and a half later... 629 - XM177E2 630 - GAU-5 Air force slick side explination |
Thanks! Not surprised to find I've always been wrong about that. 
Awesome pics too! I love the upside down BAR belt. 
I think l need to start hunting for 610 parts. 
Already have a flat slip ring in the parts box. Get on the NDS list for a partial fence 80% lower and get it properly engraved. Quick! Somebody be a pal and talk me out of it!
