The flat-top upper receiver lacks provisions for a dust cover or forward assist, topped off with an 18-slot Picatinny rail and housing a Young Manufacturing ".308/NM" chrome bolt carrier group. The lower receiver lacks fencing and houses a Geissele Automatics Hi-Speed National Match two-stage trigger.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall as professionally embellished by Adams and Adams, retaining 99% of original black and casehardened finishes with minimal handling marks and cycling wear. The furniture shows excellent grain and color throughout. The firing pin and firing pin retaining pin are absent, otherwise mechanically excellent. A truly standout AR-10 style rifle without parallel!
