Colt M16A1 Parts Kit

THis. They are a good outfit to deal with. I have bought from the owner back in the late 80s to early 90s, before he even had a company name! He had ties to IDF in Israel and imported tons of stuff from them.

maybe i watched too much tour of duty as a kid, but that is what they are supposed to look like. the modern variants just look wrong.

lovely.

I agree. This is the AR platform I learned to shoot in 1974. This is how Eugene Stoner and his team intended the AR15 to be: light and powerful. The difference weight-wise between this and and a goo-gahed up M4 is unbelievable! Also, the effectiveness of the M193 round from a 20" barrel compared to the M855 from a 14.5" barrel is incredible. From a rifle, M193 yaws and fragments at 200 to 250 yards. M855 from a M4 is limited to 75 to 80 yards for the same amount of yaw and fragmentation! If I had to choose which to use in combat, either an M16A1 or an M4, the M16A1 wins hands down. This one with the 1/7 twist can shoot MK262 MOD1 77 grain Sierra Match King OTMs out to 300 yards, break up and devastate and still be delivering 800 Ft Lbs of energy into the target. This is a "Dream 603 Clone." Best of the old (the simple platform) and the new, MK262 MOD1!

While I would love to have an NDS M16A1 or 601 lower, I could not see spending the scratch ($160) on one, when I have my A2 Anderson I paid for. Besides, this is a late (beat up) 603 upper with the almost black finish of the Export 613 models. The Barrel is the most expensive thing on here.
