Been doing a lot of reading lately here on the A2 forum and amazed at the amount of info with the archives and what not. So kudos to all for the fun reading. That said, I'm not entirely new to the AR platform as I've been tinkering with them on and off for the last 20 years or so.
Lately however, I've been wanting replicate/build a copy of my old Colt A2. I've been thinking the place to start is sourcing an A2 Colt upper receiver. And to my surprise, I can't believe the prices that Colt A2 upper receivers are bringing. I understand supply and demand, but I'm just amazed at what these used receivers are selling for. Anywhere from $250-300 on average. Just a observation as I remember you could hardly give these away years ago. Everyone falling over themselves for flat tops etc. Anyhow, it's interesting to see. Wish a few more companies would recognize the new demand for all things A2.
Best,
