That’s a great looking rifle! I do wish I had the proper select fire markings, but since it was a Colt, I decided to use it. It is odd though that on mine it says M4A1, but I’m not a perfectionist.

Ok, I've got to know the secret. How can you tell if it's a Colt A4 hand guard?

The rail or standard? If its the rail it should say Knight Armament Vero beach or P&S products

I don’t have a link handy but in the big GD thread “PSA has lost a customer.” Josiah said they’re working on an M16A4 clone lower receiver and he’s asking what serial numbers people want.
