    New upper, old barrel

    If I buy a stripped upper and add my old barrel, BC/CH, will it work with no issues?

    I searched and found most signs pointing towards yes, but I'd just like some confirmation.

            Well, I've seen that pop up, but also seen that it won't be affected if I'm using the same barrel, BC/B.

            That's really the answer I'm looking for.

              Bohoki- is the front sight a standard a2 sight? i think that the sight towers are different heights between a2's and flat tops, although i think that the flat top uses a taller tower which would make it shoot low.
