Once we have a version in place, we can toggle back and forth between models.
I plan on doing some specific carbines with this lower. |

Early 723's had A1 uppers and pencil barrels. Even Colt's own promotional material for the A2 carbines (723/733) show A1 Uppers and pencil barrels.
According to some of the guys in the Somalia thread the M4 style barrels in 723's were replacement barrels installed at the units, while the 727's came with A2 uppers and M4 cut barrels from the beginning. |

That the image you referring to? Because thats not the upper he has. His upper is a dead ringer for an A1 carbine like the 653. If he had a "C7/A2 field sight" upper like pictured yeah its 100% correct. Its generally understood that colt was a mixed bag using what they had on hand that fit the bill for the most part. So it is possible that a few A1 uppers shipped on A2 marked lowers, but the amountshipped is going to be extremely low. But per that advertisement, a C7 is the correct upper |

So yes, spec is considered C7 uppers for the 723, with a pencil barrel (factory) or an M4 profile (rebarrel). Here is a link to the Colt one sheet for the M16A2 carbine (723) from 1984.

I’d love to do a C7 upper if I could find one. It’s amazing the demand for these, but no one seems interested in producing these are a larger scale.
The upper in question is from the 723 model H&R (PSA) sells. |

Yeah, that's the one I remembered. I couldn't find it. Point being that while C7 is the most prevalent, and I personally prefer it, both receivers are *technically* within boundaries for clones. I've also seen A1 profile lowers with A2 commercial markings on them. Colt has a habit of using whatever they have on hand to build rifles.
