One of my first uppers was a HS, pretty good for an affordable end AR. Pretty sure the company is in Houston.

I've had a HS in the past. It was a good rifle while I owned it. Ended up having to sell it to pay an unexpected bill. I may try to buy it back at some point though.

Matech rear sight, MOE grip, MOE or STR stock. Don't change out your hand guard until you've shot it a few times. You'll likely find that you love the feel.

I bought my HS M4 from a friend about 2 months ago.  At the time of purchase it was in factory M4 configuration, like yours. It has performed flawlessly, eating everything it's fed. The rifle is a fantastic shooter.

If yours turns out to be Half the Rifle mine is, you'll be a very happy Owner.

Congrats on you acquisition..!

I got a High Standard upper a few years ago and put it on a RRA lower. It has never caused me any kind of problem and it shoots Sierra 69gr. MKs into tiny little groups. This little carbine can shoot smaller groups than most of my bolt action varmint rifles. I think you'll like your new purchase, I am very impressed with mine.  Does anyone know if this is the same company that made the .22 pistols?

NOT same Company––-Name Only. Just like many bought out Companies of Today. The "original" HS gun were made in Hartford, Conneticut. I've got an original HS Sport 103, which is the lowend model, I inherited from my Granddad that he had from the early 60's.

THANKS, Dan. I appreciate your kind words.

But honestly, I don't think that I've "Upgraded" my rifle at all. I look at it as "Modified".

The only part that may be considered an upgrade is the trigger. The Mega Arms Trigger is pretty sweet looking and it breaks like glass.

With that said, here's the list of the aftermarket parts I've recently installed..:

Centurion C4 12" Rail
Mega Arms Trigger
Hogue Grip
KNS Pin Set (totally unnecessary)
Magpul Trigger Guard
Magpul AFG2 Hand Grip

Surefire M300 light w/Gear Sector Mount
Leatherwood CMR optic w/ ADM Mount
