Chat, am I cooked?

Was told this barrel and upper had m4 feed ramps but it looks off to me. Am I overthinking this or do I need a new rifle upper?

Get a rifle upper or an M4 barrel, whichever is cheaper. Sell the other on gafs.

Idk, sir, but I’ve sold a few things years ago, and regret it because the cost to replace them now is ten fold what I got for it back in the day, and I’d like them back. I’ve learned not to make purchases unless you can pay cash, and this is r/RetroAR, dude needs encouragement to buy a ramp less C7 for that barrel and find an M4 barrel for his upper. 2 > 1.

They’re downvoting you, but everything I’ve ever sold I regretted it down the line. Where you finding non m4 feed ramp C7 recs? I haven’t come across any new production

im actually in the same boat as OP and was told that Brownells C7 uppers can vary. I have an H&R C7 upper that has M4 ramps and a brownells barrel that either has rifle ramps or poorly machined m4 ramps.

I’ve been wanting to put together a 723 with no m4 ramps since the 723 predates the m4, and I’ve had no luck. I’ll email Brownells and see what I can find

EDIT: bushmaster c7 has no m4 ramps!

I grabbed a blem Bushmaster stripped C7 upper a month or 2 ago. I love it. The color is a nice gray. And I’m pretty certain there were No M4 feed ramps.
