Here is my attempt at Proto Uppers. I was a little late to the Brownells party for a complete Firearm, so I had to piecemeal two together, scrounging parts where I could find them. I realize one upper isn't aesthetically correct, but round handguards with a heat shield were none existent at the time. The FSB was fabricated by a friend from pictures and his knowledge of the AR-15/M-16

That’s where you’re wrong… here’s #4 in current condition.

Nice uppers!

Thanks!  Did you just modify a basic FSP or build from scratch?

I sent my buddy that exact picture to build my FSBs.

A member of the retro forum sent me an ORIGINAL.

I did the drawing I posted, but we never produced them.

I apologize that I don't remember who gave it to me, otherwise I would give them a shout out.

I thought I had that thread linked in my prototype thread, but for the life of me I can’t find it.

I have talked to that person too but can’t remember who it is!

EDIT:

Well, here’s pictures of it but I don’t remember the owner.

Checking in late to the party.  Yes, the one in the photos is mine and I still have it.  But there must be at least two of them out there as I never sent mine to Mike for him to measure.  

Now I'm curious and will get mine out and compare dimensions from the print.
