My friend called me with a question and I'm not sure how to answer him so I thought I'd gather some opinions.
He bought a used colt ar-15 with the carry handle attached to the upper which I suppose makes it an a1 or a2
He wants a flat top so he can put some gizmos on it.
would he be better off getting a stripped colt a3 upper and swapping parts or should he sell the existing upper intact and buy a used colt upper in the configuration he wants?
personally I think he should take it to the range and put a few hundred rounds through it before he changes anything but that's not what he wants to hear.
