I purchased a NOS older Colt large pivot pin stripped upper receiver. My question is can you fit a new production Colt 16" barrel assembly (marked Colt cage code: 13629 MP 5.56 Nato 1/7 or C MP 5.56 Nato 1/7) to this receiver?
I read somewhere that these barrels have a different feed ramp that may need alteration to reliably feed with the older style receiver.
I've assembled a couple of mil-spec Ar type uppers with no problems-- but read somewhere about the potential issue with the combination of the older style upper and a new production Colt barrel.
Any info on this would be appreciated. I defer to those with a lot more experience than I have.
Thanks for looking.
