And I have never heard of a cast upper except for those home build Tannery shop ones that I don't think any company uses for actual production. I would suspect Model 1 Sales or JT distributing. Far from top tier but many people use them with great success as plinking range guns.

More than likely, the forge code may have been ground off so it can be sold as a cosmetic second or blem and not mistaken for something else. I have an old Cole Valley Eagle Arms A2 upper where the forge code was shaved off. These were actually made by Armalite but sold as a cheaper version.

Last I checked, even Olympus and DPMS still had markings on the barrels at least.
Phew... Just read the same thing in a few other places. Thanks!

I'm thinking of taking this thing down to a local specialist to get their opinion on it. I already bought the thing, so as long as it isn't a total piece of junk, I can use it as a plinker.

Just pulled it. It's pretty dirty, but no markings.
