    M16 numbers

    IN another forum, they mention M16s ( I believe) as 601s, 602s, etc. Is that a nomemenclature the government gave them?

    heavy barrel Colt upper

    Back in the early 1990's some dealers had the upper Colt 606 without the
    lower at different gun shows. These heavy barrels have the 1 in 12 twist. This upper came from a gunshow back in the 90's too. I really have not seen too many of these 606 uppers around - are they kind of rare ?
