...and remember, for the GAU 5 you need a slick side upper, no forward assist...the teardrop forward assist upper was used on the XM177 series the Army used, the venerable "CAR-15". Air Force was primary purchaser and user of the GAU 5 series, the notable major Army exception being the Son Tay Raiders.

ok thanks. Im not going for period correct exactly. I just like the looks of the old fixed carry handle and the longer flashhider combined with the smaller magazine. Maybe because its the way i picture an ar15 from my youth. Something strikes me about that overall look.
