Not sure where to post this, if there is a better place let me know... First of all, I am sure I am not using the best terms on this rifle. I now have to pick up the books on the M16. Feel free to educate me on the correct model etc. Picked up a nice orginal "CAR-15", at least that's what they were called then by the guys who carried them. This is not property marked and was intended for overseas / foreign sales. I picked it up from David Spiwak who said it belonged to a Colt Factory worker who was liquidating his long time collection. The gun looks and fires great. However, I do not want to fire the original upper too much so I am assembling a 2d upper to use as my "shooter" upper. For this I am using an original M16A1 upper reciever, and the rest is non-Vietnam era parts. The barrel is 11.5 inches and I am looking for a non-NFA moderator to put on it. Have a lead on one, just waiting for more info from the seller. In the interim, I put on an original three prong flash hider, as a place holder. I actually like the way it looks and how short and light the set up is. If you have any pointers or recommend anyone for the moderator or gas ring (M203) let me know. This is the type of gun that the gents who trained me carried. Working on getting some Vietnam era photos. Enjoy Sandman1957
