Don't know if that's the case with this one yet. When I got it, I looked up the EMP marking, found it to be EMCO. Apparently they supplied 'kits' to update M16 rifles, primarily for the Air Force, Coast Guard, and some reserve and National Guard elements. Some were reported to have FTE issues due to rough machining and they discontinued the use.

K, if it's hard to extract then a bit of paper will likely sort it out. They should be chromed so the machining shouldn't be an issue...anyway, shoot it and see.

In preparation for deployment to Afghanistan in 2003 at Ft Dix, our M-16's were turned in for inspection....Any E stamped barrels were a no go for deployment, but OK for stateside....Used IMI ammo for train up...First time for me....Maintenance shop had a barrel cut down thru the chamber.....it was ugly....there was a 4x4x4 bin of cut in half barrels...it was 1/3 full....
