    My Retro M16 is Done! Have a Look

    I posted about this rifle a while back and now its finally done...for now The only thing I intend on changing is the slip ring, I want a gray one. Everything is USGI except the lower and FCG. I polised the sear surface and hammer and installed a set of JP lightweight springs. The trigger pull is great now! I polished the heck out of the furniture with Mother's Mag Wheel Polish to bring out the shine and mottling. I've also included some pictures of some of the accessories I've accumulated for the rifle. Enjoy!
