[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Who makes these upper receivers?

Posted: 9/2/2005 6:07:03 PM EDT

I know it's almost impossible to identify the manufacturer of upper receiver, but I'm asking for intelligent opinions, speculations had
1. This a 'cerro'-like keyhole forge mark on the right side, but has no 3-dots inside the keyhole. T marks are pronounced and large white, and 'deeply' laser etched.

2. This has no forge mark. T-mark are relatively smaller than above, and more lightly etched.

REALLY hard to tell.

Actually, impossible.

Do they have M4 feed ramps?

If you don't have them attached to a parent, factory rifle, it is really no use in asking.

I have absolutely no idea how anybody can say they look like CMT from the relatively poor pics provided.

The could be Bubba's Machine Shop just as easily as they could be CMT.

I know it would be like shooting at the moon hoping
I tried to compare a CMT image with the #1 upper, but the laser marks are relatively different...and NO M4 ramps either on both.

Another friend of mine commented that #1 was Bushmaster, but I have doubts.

The lower one (#2) came with RRA barrel (midlength), but it didn't came as upper assembly, but as parts.

I compared my CMT upper to both pictures and it resembles the first picture the most.

that top one was probably not laser etched, but just engraved and painted in. I think I remember one dealer selling them non-colored for awhile about a year ago.

Top one looks like LAR (maybe?)
They have sold them with the T-marked filled in paint, or it would be real easy to do the painting at home.

My LAR upper reciever had NO paint. The "T" markings where just ingraved.

Yup, most do not come with T-marks painted in the engraving, but a small percentage I have seen did have them.
