Any other Retro Black rifle owners out there?

[Tom in N.J.]

Here is my New Jersey version of a 'retro' M16.... "AR15s" are banned in NJ, so unless you registered one in 1991 you can not have one. Removable magazines and pistol grip are two of the total of two "bad" things you are allowed. I have a 'duck bill' flash hider for this project, but can not install it. The device on the end of the barrel is a Cavalry Arms compensator, pined and welded. Upper is an old Colt 603, lower is a No Dak Spud 601. bayonet stud has been removed. Magazine is blocked and rivited to 15 rounds. Still, it's my "greenie"
