I had enough parts to build an A2 upper,and the pic doesn't show it,but the upper receiver is very silvery/grey,and the lower is coal black.I'm not sure if I like that or not,but it shoots great.
The upper is FN made receiver and FNMI 1/7 barrel.The lower is the one from my A1,but with the A2 handgrip.

Did you get the upper from the seller on CMP? Those 1/7 FN barrels are supposed to be the best of the bunch.

I got the barrel on CMP forum,,but not the receiver.I took it out to zero sights,and only at 25 yrds w/55 gr bullets and it was consistently shooting 1 hole groups,then I tried some 40gr Vmax loads,and it didn't like them one bit!Originally Posted by canes7

no
My wife likes those guns though, what does that tell you all
Get some heavier bullets (not 62's though, they suck more than a $5 on payday). Try some 69 or 77 grain Sierra's. That 1/7 will eat 'em up.

I'm a big fan of the 16" A1 Carbine. The ultimate KISS Rifle that is lightweight and reasonably accurate out to 200 yards for me.
Must have missed this the first time around. Good looking rifle Ryan!
Nothing wrong with the rifle, now the round on the other hand....
Nice rifle..I have the same profile barrel, it was called "heavy government profile", but mine is higher twist..
