Hi,
Yup, The stack is the choke tower for the primary barrels.
Go to www.Holley.com for a parts breakdown. Also the site has a pretty good explanation of how a carb works.
I like your User ID, not crazy about his invention being used as a front line battle rifle in the current caliber though. It's funny that I cannot hunt deer in most states with the .223 Rem/5.56mm NATO because it's classified as a "varmint" cartridge yet our goverment supplies it to our Armed Services.
Oh well, didn't mean to get off subject. Good luck with your carb and if you have anymore questions just fire away.

Good Eye Lee. Not many people pick up on that.
After seeing the devastating damage that caliber can do, the "beauty" of it is it's inherent accuracy and horrible tumble/fragmenting effect (not good at keeping the meat intact), I assure you, the 5.56 is a sound choice for our military.
Thanks for the info sir.

Not to help in the hijacking of the thread, but....
As a member of the military, I can tell you it is indeed a good choice. Even though the thing is classified as a varmit round for the civilian sector, one must realize that the effectiveness of the ammunition isn't so much in it's size, as the round placement. I think our current military would find it's performance drastically increased if it focused on the principles of marksmanship and round placement than on attaching 15 pounds of highspeed aiming devices onto a rifle/carbine. Most of the emphasis nowadays is on the use of close combat optics and laser aiming devices, while the use of standard iron sights and tracers has become nearly non-existent. Kind of makes for a bad scene when you run out of batteries.
