For anyone looking for Colt M16A1 upper kits (non colt barrel) here you go

[Lexustech48]

Sans the barrel (non Colt barrel), these seem like a good option if you're trying to make an M16A1 AR build. Thought Id give you guys a heads up. On an AK site no less.

Man $590 for a upper with a non Colt barrel...

Way over priced IMHO.

It's a complete build kit, less the lower...NOT just an upper.

You couldn't pay me to fire a "gun" made by inter ordnance, and the sarco kits don't come with barrels. Go find me a 20" A1 profile barrel with 1:12 twist in stock for $95. I'll buy it.

I bought a chrome lined 1/12 twist 20" M16 pencil barrel from Green Mountain for $159.

FWIW: I just got off the phone with them. As shown, complete kits including BCG and charging handle, stock & buffer/PG, handguards. Barrels are made in-house by AK-builder with a 1:12 twist, either chromed or non-chrome.

I can't speak to the quality of their AR barrels, but I've used both AK-builder and Green Mountain barrels in AK builds, from an assembly standpoint they appear to be of similar quality. Their AK-related parts (rivets, etc) are top-notch.

Has anyone ordered one yet?

[RAMCHARGER]

I might get one but Will the 1:12 barrel stabilize the 62 Gr green tip ammo?

[dvs762]

no..1 in 12 is for the 55 grain ammo

[Tripper]

tag for later

[jarhead714]

Can I put A2 sights on it?

Add +$60 to have someone install a FSB on it...

Please don't ever post anything that IO makes. Just don't do it

[Lexustech48]

Ha, I must have spaced on the stock and grip section too. Ive just heard through the grapevine that A1 associated hand guards and parts are hard to come by. Hopefully this has helped a Calgunner get his/her A1 build on.
