Stole the bolt carrier and lower from Charlotte, my M16 clone, and put her together a little further.
Still trying to decide what Alternate Retro designation should be. Since it's a slick side, it's deserving of an AF moniker. GUU-5/P is the catch-all for the Air Force's carbines. GAU-5/A is the original designation they used, with GAU-5A/A and GAU-5A/B being later variations.
I am thinking that GUU-5P/A or GAU-5A/C would be appropriate. The 'R' designation is, of course, R668.
I took the upper into the garage, clamped it into a vice and checked the sights alignment to the bore. At the 10 yard distance I have in the garage the front sight appears to be in line L-R with the bore. What a relief! That means it's likely going to zero fine.
The tracking number hints at delivery of the gas-tube, handguards and flash-hider tomorrow.
UPDATE:
The tracking number shows that the package was scanned at a hub the morning of the 16th and doesn't appear to have moved since. I sure hope the parts get here by Friday.
