| Are these still available anywhere? |

Charlie’s has them. At that price you might as well buy the complete rifle. |

@pezboytate What’s the plan for it? I have an a4 upper (not for sale) that I got from AU years ago that I need to do something with. I’m still curious what contracts/order that upper went with. It came with a black magpul handguard. The only magpul furniture I remember is getting in the US was the FDE version with no carry handle when the A4 first came out. |

They do look the part, if you throw a RAS on there. The ones I saw before came with a black Magpul handguard. |
| G & R Tactical and Brownells are about the only places I see them come in stock, sometimes you gotta wait |
No one could take His life, He laid it down for me,
That twisted wreath of thorns, yea He took that crown for me,
But after three days, out of the ground for me,
He overcame it all, now I live to serve Him

They wouldn't reply to emails or answer their phone. Ultimately, I had to file a dispute with my credit card company just to get my money back. A while after receiving the credit, they sent me an email that the item I ordered was going to ship. I emailed them back once again. They must have read my email because it didn't ship. |

I actually have a KAC M5 handguard for it that I got from Shark Arms for cheap, I think it was $100 new. I had a Colt a2 stock setup for it that I reluctantly used on another project. I guess I need to start gathering parts and get this together. I didn’t realize that other vendors had uppers listed with the black magpul handguard on it. I figured it was an “AU thing” since it didn’t come in a normal Colt CK box. |
