@mike_nds this might be a dumb question but, I'll ask it anyway.

I just received my m16a1 lower yesterday, along with a few additional parts. The charging handle color is a great match to the lower, but the trigger guard is so light that it's nearly the color of unanodized aluminum.

Obviously, there's a great deal of color variation within the anodizing process itself but I'm a bit curious; did I just get unlucky and get a very light one or is that just how they're all turning out?

I'm gonna say yes b/c the only difference in length in M-16 upper buttstock screws is between the A1 & A2, b/c the A2 stock is longer.

I got a M16A2 carbine upper yesterday. Came with shiny 6 hole handguards. Really impressed with the overall quality of this.

Some of the ad copy is wrong.

The 653 has a 6 hole handguard.

The 723 has a 7 hole for sure.

Hmm, Brass Aluminum Forge. All the H&R stuff I've seen so far has been Anchor Harvey. Doesn't matter, I certainly have no preference, just interdasting. Maybe H&R/PSA is spreading the work among various forges to better keep up with demand. Or maybe it's something particular to the A2 upper receivers.

Anyway, looks great!

Don't be so celebratory.

Surprisingly, they've been in stock for long enough to trigger a 'back in stock' email. That always surprises me for high-demand items.
