Chris at Aquila couldn't match the Colt Upper with the H&R Lower I sent and had to send it back. Truly excellent to deal with, however. I'll try a relatively local shop within a reasonable distance and see what they say. I'd be happy with a standard "Colt XM Grey" understanding the match won't be perfect. I did find a company up North, but they were more expensive than practical for this project.
On a further note I hope to get a retro pencil returned this week that was shortened, pinned and welded to 16". Prior to giving to the gunsmith, I shaved the forging seams and bayonet lug off a couple FSB's which will be re- parked. I'll post some pics soon as I get it all back.
That's about it for now...
