Ive been wanting to do an A1 clone for a couple years now. I seem to have a few lowers lying around that I dont think will get banned anytime soon, so it is as good a time as any. I also have a fixed carry handle upper (though it has a FA, not period correct but they are nice to have).
I am planning to get the upper and lower cerkoted in gray, my question, was it just the upper and lower that were gray? Was the barrel gray as well, or black.
Did the A1 use a generic charging handle or was it shaped different? Ive seen triangular charging handles offered on some sites that sell "retro" uppers and lowers, ive also seen them in gray.
Any help is appreciated, not saying you guys are old, but surely we have a few vietnam vets floating around.

As far as I remember, they were all black, my son made me a clone of an A-1. Have to figure out which safe its in and look at it.

Until they got the early M-16's lined out and quit jamming I heard a lot of good men died because of it jamming in the heat of battle.My Uncle who was there weapon of choice was a M-60 when he wasn't a machine gunner behind a 50 cal Ma Deuce.
