I guess I could take a photo and post that if anyone...

Did you ever find that upper and Handguards?

I'm thinking about building a early type AR15 like I carried in RVN in 1967.

Does anyone have, or know where I could get a upper receiver like we had back then.

I'll have to use a modern lower...

AS I remember, when I enlisted in 1963, when you got out you could purchase your issue weapon from the Corps for about 85.00. I think that there was some paperwork involved and the C.O had to sign...

Back in 1965, While in RVN, I happened into a USO in Danang. They had a real TV, first one I'd seen in country. The show on the screen was Combat. Hah, Watched it for a few minutes and had to leave....

I'm taking the rifle to the range this morning.
