need help..is this rare?

[pea shooter]

I have heard this armalite upper is rare or hard to find.
Any idea of year it could be. May be looking to buy this.

Looks like a post ban, no bayonet lug...the flash suppressor is not standard from what i an see..

I forgot to mention its an armalite ar-10 with the charging handle under
the carry handle

There was a shot of one of these on NRA Guns and Gold, I think that's the name of the show last week
A guy had a complete rifle, wasn't cheap.
You may be able to find the show online, it was on sportman channel

uncommon would be a better term. I can dig the top charging handle. Aint seen one of these in a while.

It COULD be uncommon. NODAK Spud, the main maker of AK receivers stateside, makes an upper just like that. I think if it's an original, it would be Vietnam era? I could be wrong on that part.

I've never seen the charging handle like that but I've also haven't been into guns too long either.

You'll find it way down the page, near the bottom. IMO, the pic the OP posted looks too new to be original. It could be a safe queen.
