Thank you for taking the time to reply, Willie. You managed to find the photos (linked here: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/alangane...AR%20upper ) before I got around to posting them here. It's been a bit confusing around my place...
Excellent info there, and I'm impressed that you picked up on the "C" and "K" molded in the side. I have no idea how many times I have looked this thing over and never noticed those before. The light as to be just right for me to pick them up.
Some of the replies and a few PM's I've gotten already prompted me to discard the idea of modifying it. One of my son's sort of wants it to do a build, largely because of the connection to the guy I got it from. So that's what I'll likely do with it.
Info like this is exactly why I asked the question. If this was just some garden variety piece that was nothing in particular, I would not feel too bad about modifying it, but this is reason enough to just use as is.
I sort of like the look of the older AR's. The one I have now is closer to that style, A1 upper with a forward assist, triangular handguards and such. Not 100% in every detail, but close enough for me. Decent shooter as well.
Probably gonna have to find a slab side lower now....
Thank you again for the info. Most helpful!!
