Quote from LRRPF52: "The added material offered by billet receivers does bring a practical value for someone building a rifle with a heavy bull barrel, comparable to the added strength from A2 uppers that Service Rifle shooters use."
Most/many SR shooters today have converted to flat tops for 4.5X scopes under the 2017 NRA rule change. I have old eyes and made the move too, but miss the simplicity of the A2 upper/sights. Never thought about that extra material in the original A1/A2 design, but makes total sense.
