From what I’ve read, I need a Colt M16a4 CAF upper receiver (Does anyone have an extra one?). What other forging could I use that would be correct for a faithful SAMR replica?
any m4 receiver will work… i’ve used a handful of these, always perfectly fine- http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Upper-Receiver-assembly-M4-Flat-Top-p/flat%20top%20-upper%20-m4%202.htm
Cool thanks!
I thought only m16a4 uppers were used on the SAMR. So I’m guessing the a4 was replaced with a m4 upper later on.
Glad an m4 upper is correct! Much easier to find.
Found this but I had to come here to ask the experts before looking for parts.
