Ok, I am trying to build a custom USAF GAU-5/A, which is basically a XM177E2 or basically a M16 shorty.
I am trying to find a upper recever that has no forward bolt assest, and no shell deflector.
And I need to find a lower that does not have a mag fence.
I was just wondering if the G&P M16A1 or VN Recever kit had these features. I have researched, but only saw the left side of the recever. I could not tell about the other. I know one of the kits had a foward assest, but could not tell about the other. BTW the mag fence is not a big deal if they dont make it but still... I dont care if I have to purchase 2 different kits, I just wanted to build it as a perfect replica. If not, I am going to make what they call a "Frankencarbine" which is USAF's mix and match of many M16's, XM177's and M4's parts. I am building this rifle out of a CA M15A4, so basically I have the new barrel and front-end. The only thing I dont like is the Detachable iron sight.
