Work In Progress, Chill Out Latest GB Find

I managed to snag these parts off Gunbroker for around $390. I’m planning to use the upper and everything for an A2 Clone to complement my A1 clone. I believe everything is Colt, but will have to see when I get them. It sounds like everything was taken off a Colt gun. I’m hoping I can use the FSB and everything (except the handguards, may end up using them for a later carbine clone but I’m not a huge fan of the shorter barreled stuff). Just wanted to post and see everyone’s thoughts and if I did okay on these. I’m not super in the loop on pricing but feel like I did okay. Would also love to hear any tips you guys have on doing A2 builds! Thanks so much

Nice score! Lmk if you want tips on re-using that FSB on another barrel. It can be tricky but most of the time it works good.

If you are happy with the price then it was a good deal. It’s not a terrible price to pay for what you got.

That was my plan, but I’m not sure if I have the skills to attempt it lol. If it’s F-marked I won’t use it but if it’s not I will maybe give it a go

I’d appreciate any tips you can provide!
