The tube the hand guards are mounted on free floats the barrel. It's what they used to call a DCM (now CMP) free float tube for high-power service rifle matches.

Colt's upper conversion kit. Early to mid '90s.

Sold as kits of the upper receiver grouping . They were sold this way to be able to convert your gun to another configuration without having to buy the whole gun. They are marked on the side of the upper with the caliber for this reason.

As with all things Colt, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I couldn't even begin to guess. The right guy on the right day, who knows?

I’d say it’s a 6700 variant.. like a a 6700DC..
IIRC the 6701 was sold as a complete rifle but the caliber markings on the side of the receiver tell me it’s a conversion upper like Tig already mentioned

Another point.....every 6701 I've seen had the large front pivot (.312)
