I've been converted to the old K.I.S.S. principle as of late.
Though I've always had a soft spot for the original AR/M16 platform, the A2 especially since all my real trigger time on Active Duty was with a Colt A2.
About two weeks ago I found a new in the box Troy Industries GAU-5/A/A 5.56MM upper on consignment at an LGS a friend of mine owns.
So I put it on hold, and picked it up today.
In the box, this little gem is beautiful. Only issue is the bolt carrier is cut for a forward assist, and I don't believe the original had those. But I'll double check and verify it.
I temporarily installed it on the lower for my Bushmaster pseudo Israeli carbine, and I'm in love again with light weight, no frills AR's.....
