I understand now after reading the article you linked John. They were kind of franken rifles. But it's a pretty unique adaptation.
FWIW. I got an email from JSE surplus today. Stripped A2 uppers, 85.00. Assembled A2 uppers, 130. Teardrop FWA available. 3 prong flashhiders. Also Triangle CARBINE length handguards. 25.00 a set. Also an assortment of pinned front sight post barrel assemblies, and A2 buttstock kits.You should definetly not waste time with that upper. In fact il do you a solid and take it off your hands . Those carry handles aint super collectors or anything just not around as much as once were. Now a good ole a1 upper that you used to could not give away thats special on my book these days.
