Colt 723 Upper With No Markings?

Hi all, back with another obscure and niche question. I’ve come across a Colt 723 upper that’s I am looking to grab but a little confused as there are no C and forge marks on it. Where the Colt C and forge mark would typically be is just blank. The seller is reputable and claims that it is a Colt police trade in, but I’m skeptical because I can’t find any definitive answers on if Colt ever produced a C7/723 upper without markings. Any info out there on this?

Pre Ban Fixer Upper

Pre ban fixer upper with a Colt 603 upper and PWA lower. Need to strip the crappy paint job and change out the KAC rail to a classic round handguard. Originally planned to build a Gordy with this, but I think it’s cooler just the way it is (minus the paint). Feel free to drop me a follow on IG @negligent_discharge for eventual project updates and other neat doodads!

37mm Flare Launcher Mounting Question

Hey all, I have a question regarding the LMT 37mm barrel mount flare launcher. I can’t seem to quite find the info I need on mounting. I am trying to figure out if it is possible mount the 37mm barrel mount to a Colt 6920 SOCOM (14.5” p/w barrel with a FSB and KAC rail) and still be able to have the top KAC rail intact. I’ve seen a few photos, but most of them were from posts 4-5 years old and I couldn’t quite tell if the LMT 37mm they were using were rail mounted or barrel mounted. The ones I saw were LMT 37mm mounted on 6920 SOCOM rifles. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Need help identifying A1 upper

Having to repost because for whatever reason Reddit stopped letting me add photos to the post. I just picked up this PWA rifle and I am trying to figure out what the upper receiver is. It’s a pre ban (serial 10xxx) PWA and the A1 upper has no markings visible that I can see easily. I did find some very very faint markings forward of the dust cover that (to me) look like a Square C and a triangle, I can’t make out anything in the triangle. They are extremely faint, and other than those, there are no other markings, if it’s not just my eyes playing tricks on me and wanting this upper to be a Colt upper. Wanted to get some opinions on it, and any info available about it. Thanks guys!

A1 Upper Receiver Identification Help

Hi all, I just picked up a (I think preban, serial is 10xxx) PWA rifle with an A1 upper receiver. I am trying to figure out who the maker of the upper is though, as I cannot find any forge or maker marks on it at all. Posting photos below. Any ideas? Thanks!

Allen Engineering Suppressor Set Up Question

Hi all, I think the answer to my question is that what I’m thinking is not possible, but I just want to 100% confirm. I originally wanted to do a P&W Gordy rifle out of a pre ban PWA commando that I just picked up, but … but know it’s not possible unless I used a mid length barrel, which I don’t like the look of.

So my question is, is it possible to use one of the adapter muzzle devices that’s p&w to a 14.5 barrel (instead of the 3 piece collar) and an AEM5 or OCM5 and get a somewhat similar look, or would there be too much gap between the FSB and the suppressor and it would look stupid? It’s seeming that the answer is that a 14.5 p&w cannot be done and nothing would look right.

I would normally just F1 SBR with no problem, but I’m unfortunately in VA and we aren’t sure if we will still get F1 approved or not after July 1st, so there’s potential I wouldn’t be able to F1 it. (Still going to file one on it anyways just in case). Just trying to figure out if there are any other options to achieve what I want to do. Thanks all!
