    I have a 16" A2 style take off barrel (no flash hider); I do not know its history. It was from an estate of a friends friend who passed and he gave it to me. This gentleman had several Colt uppers and this may very well have been one of those. The only marks I see are 5.56 under the front sight. PM me if this interest you.

    Happy New Year
