I haven't been on here in a longtime. I am very rural and out of the loop. I acquired a strange upper Saturday. It is a bit of an oddity in my book, a 16" HBAR???? The Upper looks to be factory assembled with very little use.
The details are a Colt flattop M4 (above the gas tube) upper receiver with round forward assist, C and Keyhole marked with a Cardinal Forge Carry Handle.
The barrel is a 16 inch HBAR marked C MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 HBAR with an A2 Flash hider and F marked Front Sight Base with Bayonet Lug and Sling Swivel. It has glossy handguards just regular not the big Oval style.
To me it seems an impractical configuration as it sits, a 16" HBAR. Who would want that and what for? It looks like a great bunch of parts to me. If I keep it I think it would make a great SBR cut off @ 10.3 or 11.5 inches. I would have to look into the gas port sizing if I went that route and see if it is even worth doing.
I may try to sell it intact or may possibly remove the barrel and sell it that way. Or SBR it. What do you guys think. What kind of value is it, being in very lightly used condition with no BCG or Charging Handle?
