can you identify this ar15 upper?

[patric25]

Hi everyone,
I have this upper and I don't remember the make. The only markings on this upper are the markings on the pictures.

I looked at several website but can not find the answer.

Let me help you with that

Looks like a cerro forged "keyhole" upper, not sure who manufactured the barrel

Does the ''c'' marking on the barrel means colt?

Does the ''c'' marking on the barrel means colt?

That looks like the mark left by a set screw. Colt doesn't make a 1/9 twist barrel.

The keyhole means its a Cerro Forge

The keyhole means its a Cerro Forge

That doesn't say anything about the mfg of the upper. Every company uses or has used Cerro Forge forgings.

I think what you meant to say is Colt's didn't make a 1/9 twist barrel in the M4 configuration.

I think you are right, that looks like a set screw mark right where you would tighten up a gas block.

Looks like a generic Wison or Shaw barrel.

Very high chance its .223 chamber even if marked 5.56 - no M4 cuts...

 

[dangertree]

No idea. But I do know someone really gave it to that front sight base.

I think it had a different FSB and then this one was added. The sight pins look to have been pounded in. Yes Cerro forging, but everyone uses them. If it didn't come from a known source then we could be guessing a long time. I couldn't say about the barrel.

According to the AR15armory.com forum, it's a Cerro Forging upper.

Yes, that's right. But many companies use them as a raw product. They do the CNC machining of the raw forging which is a solid aluminum billet. Then they SHOULD mark their own marks on it so you know who did the machining. Cerro forge doesn't do it. They just make it.

x2. I've owned a few barrels like this and the markings are correct.
