This is what I have

20in Colt upper, A1 upper, with a A2 barrel.

I want to switch out the A1 upper for a A3 upper.  

Are M4 feedramps on the receiver or the barrel?

Can I use a Upper with M4 feedramps on that barrel or do I have to get one with no feedramps?

Thanks

You would have a rifle barrel extension, and an upper with M4 cuts... a HUGE no-no.



You need an upper w/o the cuts.
