Cool. Is that an A2 style top? Is that what I search for? A2? Picatinny? I'm sure I'll figure it out, just want to be sure.

Good luck.
This is why I posted the thread right here. I'm all about buying used as long as it's in good condition. What is BCG? Bolt Carrier Group or something like that?

Here's what I found on headspacing:
AR15.COM :: Forums :: Topic :: Headspace, Torque values, and Barrel Break-in
The Maryland AR15 Shooters Site

I should be good unless it has a hojillion rounds or was in a full auto setup from what I can discern.

And you need to PM me your zip code, re: the voicemail I left you!
