Cerro upper receiver. I've never bought, owned or known anyone who has had one.

Opinions?

Also below is a listing I am looking at. Opinions on the whole package

"I have a upper that I put together a while ago and have been moving to the more powerful 6.8, so this one needs a new home. The A3 upper receiver is a Cerro with the keyhole mark, M4 ramps and white T markings on the top. I believe the AR15 carrier is a CMT but there are no markings, the key is staked. From my research, the bolt is a FN with the markings “AT” , MP is also stamped in. Both the upper receiver and BCG could pass as new but since there is a little sign of brass on the bolt face, I’m going to list it as used. I’d say less than 20rnds on the BCG. The HG is a carbine length Vtac modular, the bbl nut has been properly torqued. The bbl is a NEW Colt 14.5” M4 Socom profile. Made on 12/07. I thought the FSB was a Colt also but it has been a long time since I put this together. I’m not sure of the markings but this is what they are. On one side there is: <B>2, the next side has the “F” mark"

Thanks

Ah, I see. Sorry guys, don't mean to sound like a complete moron.
I am somewhat new to the whole AR platform. While I own a couple, I bought them as complete rifles and pretty much just shoot and clean them. As far as what parts are actually mfg. by Stag or Colt or RRA, I've never given much thought.
I have never really got down to the nuts and bolts of them. I am in the process of a trying my hand at assembling a couple.
I just acquired a  pretty sweet A1 upper that I'm going full retro on and over the weekend, I picked up a stripped lower and a parts kit from a local mfg., Barnes Precision, and tried my hand at assembling a lower....
Now looking for an upper to match.

Thanks for any input on this one
