[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1509276, member: 204"] Looks like an early M16 or SP1 upper, not an M16A1. Looks like the proper lack of a forward assist, thin barrel, 3-Prong flash hider, and flat slipring for it to be an M16. The handguards are not M16 or M16A1, but M16A2. The way to tell if it is an M16 or an SP1 upper is to measure the front pivot hole. An M16 will be .250" and a SP1 will be .315". Can't tell if the bolt carrier group is semi or full auto (not that it really matters either way) without looking at the underside. Value would be around $400 or so. What kind of markings are on the barrel? [/QUOTE]
