Almost Finished my Retro M16A1 Build.
It's mostly retro parts from 1967-1979 M16A1 but I tried to keep close to the early 1967-68 with the three prong flash hider.
I have the Original M16A1 grip but I have not installed it yet.
I read that they requested colt to change the flash hider to the "Birdcage" style, they claimed that the three prong one got
caught up in twigs and small branches
The Lower is a Civilian AR-15 by Aero Precision semi-auto but the design matches the original, the Butt stock currently is a
A2 with trap door, I have the Original A1 without the door but I don't have the tube, spring and plunger for it yet.
This is a picture with the three prong flash hider
This picture is with a birdcage flash hider like the later M16A1
Even Got original Magazines to go with it.
Even the Original Ammo
