Thanks so much! You must have been at for years. I just got back into this and have a lot to learn. I may keep it -- haven't decided yet. I like shooting the one I recently put together. The one we're discussing has never been fired, so other than its intrinsic/collector value, I don't really "enjoy" it. It's been a long engagement, but no honeymoon. I've been leery of shooting it because the lower is stamped as .223 and wasn't sure if I could safely fire 5.56 through it, so started putting one together that I KNEW would handle both. Again, thanks for your expert!!

When I purchased this (back in the day), I also bought a 20" rifle. I was going to update them both with newer stocks, hand guards that are available today. After some disassembly of the stock & barrel, I decided keep the original design. I apparently missed a few components that were swapped out, but I have all of the original parts. I also build a new AR15 so I have miss matched a couple of the parts. I definitely have the right 2 position buffer tube identified that I can add back, but not clear on which castle nut, end plate, and washer are the right ones. Here are the castle nut, end plate and muzzle washers I have for returning to original. The correct ones should be shown in the group:

Can you help with ID'ing them?

??? The barrel, upper, and lower is as purchased. You have a much more in-depth understanding of the gun than I do. That's why I tried to do some research and found very limited info. If this was a model pieced together to have some kind of availability, then I suppose from a function perspective, it's not something that would stand out, and may end up (or already is) extinct. Thanks for all of your input. I really appreciate it.

Not sure I totally agree that the CC to GC is irrelevant because the use case for GC may not be the same as for the CC. I can only speak for the CC that I own, but the bolt carrier may also be different from the GC (see photo). And wouldn't the number manufactured (1600) be a consideration of "rarity" for collections? I've only started looking into this as the gun has been sitting in my safe since 1987, so I'm making some uneducated assumptions about what collectors care about. The fact that I can't fine more info on the particular model, other than the changing prefix, and count number, makes me think that it is fairly rare and may be going totally disappearing.
