I finally got my 10 1/2" upper that was included with my m16 today. I was told and expected the handle to be cut off, the dealer had already told me this. However I didn't expect the other things. See how many things you can find screwed up with this upper. It has to be the ugliest I have ever seen. I had to laugh!
   or SEE BELOW FOR PICS Couple of questions: The most important question is: Why the hell would anyone do this to a upper? The only thing I could think of was a laser mounted on top and it shined through the hole in the front site post. Good god, if the guy would have asked I would have paid for the proper parts to save an upper. How can I determine if the barrel is a 5.56 or a .223? I saw no makings on the barrel. Who made this poor upper? The only marking i found were a C W in front of the rear site post. Anyone want to buy the upper only? I have already ripped it apart for parts. |

Lol I wouldn't take that upper if you paid me $10 for it. Just what you need on a $10000+ machinegun. An upper that looks like it got run over by a bulldozer.
 Maybe the previous owner did it to make it look less valuable and trick any burglars rummaging around in his safe? |

Damn. I usually choose function over form, but yeah, I'd say that's the ugliest upper ever...

Ah, yes... the fabled precurser to the A3: The A2.5
Note the Weaver base and 2-tone contrast design... An absolute classic. You can co-witness optics and the fixed rear site is far superior in stability than some fly-by-night BUIS. Even the flash hider has an air of panache, with it's salmon colored accents. A must have for serious and silly collectors alike! |

Strangest/out of place thing about it?
The $400 pricetag. I hope to god you didn't pay anywhere near that much. |

I'm afraid to ask what kind of condition your lower is in.

That $400 price tag also made me laugh. At first I was a bit pissed, but the more I thought about it I just laughed.
Technically it cost my upward of $9500, but actually I consider is a free-be. The upper that is currently on the M16 a very nice fluted 16" A2 is great condition, and the lower is in great condition also with only very minor use imperfections. Thanks again M4Kid for hosting. |

Why the heck would you spend $9500 for a registered lower and put something like that on your upper? Spend the $550 and make it right.

I wouldn't and didn't, that is why I tore the upper apart. The only usable shit is the barrel, foward assist, rear site and dust cover. Added: I was also able to save the flash supressor, it is amazing what a little WD40 and wire brush and some 1200 degree paint can do. |

Sweet mother of God!!!! That is truely the ugliest damn thing I have ever seen! I mean the rails gouged into the sides are simply.... well.... they are sad. How in hell did someone expect to get $400 for that.... that.... thing? I have to go cry now. It's just not right. |

Well, I have heard that back before A3 uppers became available in great numbers, certain gunsmiths, when building scoped varmint guns, would machine off the carry handle and drill and tap for a weaver base. However, when they did that, they did it on a mill, and touched up the parts that are shiny.
That thing is a abomination, though. |

I kinda have a feeling those got left out, but since not in the description, not much I could do. The other upper did have a bc,b,ch. |
