    How it came from Colt, note the barrel is A2 too. Early 80's they did a lot of stuff like that.

    If that bothers you, then how about this:

    They were "transitional" model A2's. I love old school Colt shit. I have a spare A1 upper somewhere, torn between doing a transitional clone with it or an XM177 clone.

    I reckon do a XM177 @Beavis, they're so bad-ass. I see Brownells has released a "retro" line of classic AR's this last week or so.

    I was talking to someone that has looked at a few of them and made the changes to the heavy spring and the, essentially, gas block. So far, the ones in NZ that I have heard about have been running well but not without some modifications that have happened at the factory.

    Only issue I think my boy will have is that the stock is too long and I will have to replace it. It is not light and it will help him to have a shorter stock for his size and bring the weight in a bit closer.

    Once I put in the heavy spring he couldn't pull the bolt back. That was an issue as with the heavy spring I am told the recoil is better and it runs like clockwork. We will put 250+ through it tomorrow to test it out.

    It turned out that he had the strength but the bolt was too hard on his dear little finger I went off to the lathe and made a nice big handle that he can pull back with three fingers, it doesnt hurt as the spring compresses so he is able to pull it all the way back now..

    Right, off to see if I can find the adjustable a-cat stock I like in the next couple days..
