I am looking into doing a pair of builds I am going to get a pair of STAG lowers, and build one for myself as a M4gery(ish, not positive yet) and, as a gift to my Father, an A1 clone(not exact, but all the important stuff) Question is this, 1968, Veitnam, the M16 would have been an A1, 20" w/ flash hidder, correct? I have seen several places selling Colt M16A1 uppers lately, are these what they say they are(new/old stock or takeoffs?) what is the barrel condition on these usually? since if they are good, all I need is an A1 stock and grip, which I can get from SARCO |

+1 for the Retro Forums. FWIW when I built my step dad his AR in 2005 I used one of the CDNN A1 uppers (built on an RRA "US Property" lower). While he more likely had an M16 or M16E1 (Vietnam 1967-1968, his unit transitioned to the M16 from the M14 half way through his tour), he was definitely happy with the CDNN upper. |
