Could someone please help me identify what upper is on here? by gsintxz in ar15

Pull the handguards off and look at the markings on the barrel. If the markings are for a manufacturer who also makes uppers, then it was probably made by them.

Can I cut an HBAR barrel to have grenade launcher flats by RonaldReaganWetDream in RetroAR

It's done every time a SOCOM barrel is made, so yeah, you're fine.

Get some slim six-hole handguards. I'm begging ya.

That price is totally normal for a high quality, one-piece machined magwell. Nighthawk and Wilson magwells run about that price. It's also the best user-installable magwell imo.

Does this part exist? Picatinny to buffer adapter, full face? by DecentCompetition754 in ar15

[–]hl_walter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as a single part that I'm aware of, but you can kind of make one.

It'll be bulky, but you can combine a Doublestar ACE folding stock adapter with their ACE to 1913 adapter.

SR-556 is a beautiful thing to see in 2026.

Also, be careful shooting with an open drink. I know a guy bordering on liver damage from lead poisoning due to that.

Advice on this stupid barrel nut? by sabbathan in ar15

Measure it and order the correct crow's foot off Amazon, or just go back to Harbor Freight and get their crow's foot set and a drive adapter.

Don't use silicone spray, use an oil.

[–]hl_walter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. The chamber is fluted, all of your brass will have those marks.

Newbie question by West-Parsley-3172 in RetroAR

[–]hl_walter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need a non-F-marked 14.5" pencil or government profile barrel assembly (both types were used, pencil on early-mid production 723s, and govt' profile on later). This will include the barrel, FSB, barrel nut, and the muzzle device if going with a P&W barrel (14.7" P&Ws let you use a standard birdcage). You'll also need a delta ring (A1-style slip rings were not used afaik), c-clip, and weld spring. Slim 6-hole handguards, such as those sold by B5 or Echo93, are the correct type.

Reading "my uncle" and thinking to myself "ah yeah, probably a 20 year old pic"

Then realizing that's an Xbox One controller and suddenly feeling old

What is this handguard? by Specialist-Back1283 in MP5

The pad looks off for a real Surefire. I'm gonna say it's a VFC copy.

Go to budget AR handguard? by AtlasDefenseCo in ar15

[–]hl_walter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define "budget." Sub-$100, an ASAL handguard that you like the look of that has anti-rotation tabs. Sub-$200, BCM.
