So, I got the first part in the mail the other day for my 20" A2 clone project...a NIW Colt A2 barrel. This thing was still sealed in the zerust packaging. Now my question....
This is going to sound a bit noob, but I'm just learnin' here. I opened up the package and immediately liked what I saw. It's exactly as it was advertised...marked "C MP 1/7 5.56 NATO" and in obviously brand new condition. Here's what threw me off...the plate that the handguards sit against directly behind the FSB is TRIANGULAR shaped...like A1 handguards. To make sure I wasn't nuts I looked at the plate on my 6920(bought NIB)...it's round. Did I get some kind of bastard A1 1/7 barrel or will the round A2 handguards fit correctly under the triangular shaped handguard. To help...here is the EE post I bought from..... http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=22&t=717382 If you look at the first pic closely you'll see what I mean. Thanks guys!!! EDIT: Please don't read this as some kind of bash on the seller...I'm happy with the barrel and what I paid for it...the triangular plate just threw me off a little. Thanks again!! |
