    FWIW,
    I have been planing an A2 build for quite some time and snagged one of these DOA Capco uppers. It arrived today, excellent condition, appears to have very little use and the finish is intact, a few small scratches. Thanks for posting that!

    Sorta feels sad that something I bought new back in '87 or '88 (a large pin Colt A2) and shot in club level 100 yard NRA HiPower matches for a couple of years is now a "retro AR". But glad to have one again.

    I'd like to build the US Army's version of the M16A2, which I believe Colt kinda gave the model number 715.

    Upper:

    C7 Upper
    1/7" 20" A1 profile barrel
    A2 FH
    A2 forend

    Lower:

    A2 Lower
    A1/A2 pistol grip (Army apparently didn't care)
    Safe/Semi/FA lower (no I would do that)
    "CS1" stock (A1 length, A2 material and construction)

    I will admit that in my heart I am an A2 kind of guy. I have a few M4ish rifles and like them, but when I am out in the desert or other open areas the A2 is my friend. I don't have to worry about velocity being too low, carbine gas issues, or heavy buffers. Here is a couple of pics of my first and favorite AR from the middle 90's: an Eagle Arms ER-15. They were about as close as you could get to the real thing back in the 1990's.

    This has been a great rifle! It is very accurate, shoots very soft, and has been trouble free for about 25 years. I would recommend that everyone give the 20" a try, they are a great package.

    It was a very early version of this one:

    I see they have updated the design a bit.

    Hope this helps,

    Of course not. Of all the issue buffers, the rifle buffer is the heaviest.

    Armsunlimited has them for $76 less. Not sure what the shipping costs are between the two.
