So I was able to get a great FNMI barreled upper receiver.  It is not Colt gray, but a darker, almost black color.  Not the modern darker shade.  I got one of the A2 receivers on order from BCP, which is your typical modern black.  I am needing a BCG, charging handle and LPK.  Is it possible to get these made by FN or is it to lat in the game. If so, what is the alternative?  I was thinking about using a toolcraft cage coded BCG, but that is all I have come up with. Maybe a Colt LPK?  I am trying to keep it clone correct.  Thanks!

I'd try contacting PSA, via their forum.

Why PSA?  do they sell FN stuff?  I know that some of their stuff comes from there, but it is usually marked PSA.

Worst thing that can happen is no response; bet most of their parts are made by FN.

Have seen FN BCGs on EE recently.

Search Colt, as FN is too short to search & was in same EE listing.

You can find FN F marked BCG's pretty easy in the EE.  It will have an F stamped in the carrier and an MPF marked bolt.  Not sure if you'll find an FN lower parts kit.  I just used WOA lower parts and an ALG QMS trigger in mine.

Might be hard fining FN parts new these days since FN is busy supplying the military with the M16A4 and only seems to sell complete rifles to the civilian market. Juat as Colt parts can be hard to find new. PSA has BCG CH combo on sale for around $100 pretty frequently. BCG is Toolcraft.

Any idea where I can get a dark grey charging handle?

I got everything for the build minus the FPK and Lower (waiting on the corrected group buy lower).  Got a great complete barreled upper from the EE. all FN.

I would look around.  The FN upper is available.  It is not common, but is a beautiful upper and the anodizing is as nice as Cerenkote.  Not like Colt (love Colt, but..) with all its scratches.

I found my FN bolt and carrier on Gunbroker. I don't know if there is any difference in basic mil spec. charging handles.

Many years ago I picked up several FN uppers.
Funny is that people didn't want them so they were very cheap.
I cannot get to the storage area they are in, so I found a few pictures I took several years ago.
They are not very good pictures, but this may help some one.
I plan on using them on the A2 and A4 receivers I have coming on a special buy.
I don't have any for sale.

They are from a light shade of grey to black and shades in between.

So I got it all together and now I need money, so this may be on the chopping block.  Can someone IM and tell me what a fair asking price would be for this?
