*This upper is from Tony's Customs and is somewhat of a placeholder while I'm waiting to receive a more clone-correct one with Colt proofmarks and no forge marking.

*Technically, my lower is a Colt Match Target lower and not a true Commercial M16A2, but it still has the correct A2 buffer tower profile and the Redi-Mag hides all sins.

Setup accurate for the 1993-1996 period.

Thomas Greer (aka 'Dalton Fury') seen on the right. He also has a Knight's Armament RIS Forend from Delta M4A1 packages installed on his rifle.

Also interesting to note the rifles both operators have in this photo aren't the usual Colt Model 723's Delta was known for using, but instead are Olympic Arms CAR-AR Rifles that have been retrofitted for simunitions use (as indicated by the clear magazines and blue components). Delta likely only procured these for training use and were never intended for combat.

Above: Olympic Arms CAR-AR. Note the Rapidex rear sight windage knob, shorter barrel, and XM177-style faux moderator consistent with the rifles in the photo.

The polymer XM177-style buttstocks could also on occasion be seen on some of Delta's early M4A1 rifles, though I'm not sure why operators would make the choice to swap them out as the Colt N1 Fiberlite stocks were much higher quality, and the CAR-AR stocks were also only sized for commercial buffer tubes, meaning they would fit sloppy on the buffer tubes of M4A1's.

Above: Members of C-Squadron and their early M4A1 Carbines with custom Armalite Fiberglass FF Tube Handguards, c.1996-1998. The operator at left has an Olympic Arms CAR-AR Stock on his rifle, as indicated by the lack of two 'ribs' along the body of the tube.

As a final note, it appears both men are wearing the AWS Protective Vest (aka 'Direct Action Trauma Body Armor'), which while around in the late 90's, Delta did not adopt until at least 2000.

Between 1996-1999 the unit would have been using the Point Blank PBPV and leftover supplies of T.G. Faust NATO SF Body Armor from the 1980's.

This detail dates the photo OP posted to at least the early 2000's and not the mid-90's.

Above: Point Blank PBPV (left) and AWS Protective Vest (right). Almost completely identical at first glance. Small changes in the construction of the cummerbunds and the edges of the vests denote the difference. Source: crapshoot_surplus (Instagram)

Wolf A1(T91) Redux.

The Changes Made to My WolfA1 Rifle

The very first post I made in this platform was the introduction of the Wolf A1 upper receiver I had just made. As the months have passed, I’ve tested accuracy from it using M193 and M855 ammo, to painting the furniture ODG, to running an optic on it awhile. I got tired of the ODG and A2 stock, and went back to the basics. Boy am I glad I did.

The upper hasn’t changed, but pretty much the rest of the rifle did. When I first got the upper, I originally had it mounted to an Anderson Lower. It also sported an A2 stock. Then I discovered a lower maker, that was here in the south, great quality, and best of all affordable. That’s when the first big change came.

When Unbranded released their Retro line of lowers, I knew this upper had to be mated to one. I used a Lower Part kit, Receiver extension, buffer, and buffer spring all acquired from my friends at Brownells. The B5 Systems made CAR15 type stock for Brownells is a nice piece also. The stock fit the receiver extension nicely.

After I got the thing mostly back together, I decided to take the optic I had on this rifle, and swap it over to my BRN. The original detachable handle that came with the upper when I got it, got chopped and put back on. Eventually the plan is to put an Aimpoint PRO on this thing. But as it sits I like the short handiness of this rifle, with the Brownells stock and Unbranded lower.

If your looking for a affordable Piston Upper, the Wolf A1 is a great choice. Brownells shows to carry it, but as of the time of this writing it’s out of stock. All of the other parts mentioned, less the lower, was sourced at Brownells. You can find all that stuff if you liked it by the link below.
