I am looking to either make or buy a Colt 20" A2 rifle in 5.56 with the 1/7 twist with bayo lug,. 0.154 FCG pins and standard push pins (not the oversized front pin).
I cannot seem to find one. I know I can buy a FN upper and mate it with a bottom of my choice, but I did not know if there was a Colt out there that fit this criteria. What about the AR-15's that were called the Government A2? Are the FCG pins .154 or the larger ones? Basically a M16a2 clone 20" |

I was looking for a 5.56. I thought you can fire .223 out of a 5.56 camber but not a 5.56 in a .223 chamber. I think the barrel is chambered in 5.56 but I was saying replace the barrel. The barrel is a h-bar instead of the standard government profile. It also has a comp on it instead of an a2 flash hider. http://www.ohioordnanceworks.com/ Sells 1/7 twist colt m16 barrels for like 230 bucks. Buy the complete rifle, a barrel, and cruch washer and a2 flash hider. Replace the h-bar barrel with the government profile barrel and sell the brand new barrel to help offset the extra costs. Another option. http://www.autoweapons.com/photos/accys/colt.html I don't like to recommend them as they generally seem to be very expensive. For right under 900 bucks they have new in wrapper colt m16 a2 uppers. I don't know if that has the bcg in it or not. You could get one of those uppers and add it to any lower. Since you wanted a colt I'd buy a complete colt rifle and just sell the upper and put that one on. A few places sell just the lowers but generally for the price many of them charge you could find a complete rifle and sell the upper and come out ahead. Add an a2 stock and call it a day. |

Thanks for the options ccosby
Why can't Colt just make what I want LOL. I want a retro Vietnam rifle and I already vented about that earlier this year.. Well what about an A2 or a flat top Government 20" 1/7 barrel with the 154 FCG pins with A2 flash hider. Seems pretty simple to me. INCREDIBLY SIMPLE! I could be wrong as Shawn likes to point out, but I would have to think there is a market for the Military clones 20" rifles. |

I want to say specialized armament had asked on here about having colt do a custom run of flat top 20 inch rifles. They were asking about that and a flat top 9mm. Don't know if they ever got the interest to do an order. I have seen a few colt m16 a4 uppers hit the market as well. You do have a few vendors that are working in the retro area. Nodak sells a bunch of retro uppers and lowers for instance. Honestly if you want a quality a2 for a fair price find one of the fn uppers. Put it on a lower of your choice. I know it isn't what you where looking for but it will be a good bit cheaper. That or the colt with the replacement barrel I recommended. |
