Fixed carry handle upper

[barretcreek]

Anyone seen fixed carry handle stripped uppers for sale recently?

[pickax]

There is guy selling just the handles now on CMP if that works for you.

Most everyone want or are forced to buy the uppers with the rail for detachable handles, iron sights and scopes.

I think what you are looking for is the A1 and A2 configuration uppers. Some of the early A1's had no forward assist. This may have been for the Air Force only.

Don't know of any place that sells them new off the shelf.

are you looking for A1 or A2 or ??

retro stuff, and A2 have become retro now, are bring big bucks

sold an A2 upper not long ago for $510 ,,,, FN made, with sight, FA and door cover

had a few A1's go higher

NoDak Spud was a great source of 'retro' M16 / AR15 uppers and lowers. They are now part of Palmetto State Armory, but other than NDS 603 uppers, are not yet back into production. The 603 upper has the carry handle and forward assist. Out of stock at this time.

Thanks, All.

I prefer irons for match shooting and would rather have the rear sight on a fixed handle. Guess I'll be waiting a while.

if you are looking for new, try RRA or Fulton, they still make a A2 rifle, and may sell you just the upper or a completed upper if you ask

[barretcreek]

Already tried them. Guess I'll have to hit the gunshows.

never dealt with them, just did a quick google search


address is OH, but you are correct the number is a DC prefix,


odd,


proceed with caution

[barretcreek]

I'll let you know what goes. Never seen a 555 exchange on a real phone number.

They use it on TV all the time.

They use it on TV all the time.

That's my point.

[Allen]

That's my point.

That was my point too--probably not real.

Some sites say the IRS uses it. I donno.

this is one of my non-A2, non-A1 uppers...

its part of my retro model 601 just like what i drew from the inventory in the Air Force. this has a lower serial number though (because i came up with it). the rifle i drew had a serial number below 12,200...

the safety DOES flip to the fun side but it doesnt have that function at all, and never did...

[Allen]

Palmetto now has a complete upper A2.

Not exactly what you are asking for but it is complete with the carrier and bolt. Good company to deal with. I've bought from them.

that is an A4 not a A2 upper


Palmetto's parent company did buy Nodak Spud, IIRC, so they may get some cranked up in the near future,

don't recall seeing an A2 at Shot,, but the H&R line (now owned by Palmetto's parent company) has a nice looking retro a1 type

OK, thanks.

Thought is was listed as an A2. It is listed as an A2 length. Didn't look close enough.

[barretcreek]

Luth-AR has them listed but 'out of stock', add your email for notification.

pre A1's A1's and A2's are all 20 inch ,

the carbines etc are shorter,

this is the catch, in that listing


& CARRY HANDLE

if you look closely, you can see the knobs on the other side of the pic


should be more clear, wondering how many have bought them thinking they were A2's

[Robert Scott]

I think uncle Joe left a million in Afghanistan. Maybe Khalid's gun and pawn shop in Kabul will have them for sale soon.....lol...

I'm betting Ole Joe left Khailid A1's A2's A4's and M4's, and a camel's pile of other variants as well!!!

[barretcreek]

Just received my stripped C7 upper, fixed carry handle and fwd assist. Luth-AR is shipping now; no FA is also available.

Nice anodysing.
