M16A2 Receiver
Looking for a M16A2 built in carry handle upper receiver.
Can be black or gray.
Can be complete or stripped or even a little salty looking as I know of a place that can re anodize.
I'm building a new 20 inch upper to run on my M16A1 registered receiver lower.
Been running a mid length gas system 16 inch upper with hydraulic buffer but would like to slow down rate of fire a little more.
Does not have to have any certain forge marks, brand markings, nor does it have to have been a military upper receiver, commercial just as good for what I'm doing.
All the usual places currently showing OOS.

Friend who works in the aluminum industry in the St. Louis area.

I used Norrells blackish gray.
Here is a comparison with an original Colt carbine.

Re: M16A2 Receiver
Sounds like A2 upper receivers are currently unobtanium, at least until the next batch is out.
A customer rep at Model 1 Sales told me they will have them back in stock some time but couldn't say when.
They put me on a waiting list.
Only other option is to pay scalper prices on GunBroker or the Equipment Exchange over at AR15.com.
