    The following video(s) are excerpts which have been extracted from the "The Screening Room" (click here).
    Rifle 5.56mm, XM16E1, Operation and Cycle of Functioning TF9-3663

    US Army Training Film on the XM16E1 rifle, the first mass-fielded version of the M16icon rifle. This is the version with chrome-plated bolt carrier, no trap door in the buttstock, no forward assist, non-chrome-lined chamber, and three-prong flash supressor. Somewhat notorious for reliability issues in the jungles of Vietnam, it was upgraded into the much more reliable M16A1 in 1967. Most of the basic information in this video is just as true today for the M16A2/A4 and M4 carbine.

    To view most videos available on this web site, you must have Apple Quicktime (click here) or Adobe Flash Player (click here) installed on your computer, both of which are FREE. If the video doesn't play, then click on the links provided to ensure you have these standard players installed on your computer. Simply click on any film strip thumbnail pic and then if the video doesn't start immediately, press the PLAY button on the controls bar at the bottom, or it may sometimes appear in the center of the screen. Depending upon the player, some optional controls may also be available. If so, use the PAUSE and other buttons at the bottom of the video window to adjust your personal viewing preferences, or click on the video itself to stop and start playback. Make sure you turn on your speakers and set the volume appropriately.

    You may REPLY below with feedback about this video ..........

    NOTE: This particular video is captured from old 35mm film and there's a black screen leader at the beginning of the film. So, when you click on the PLAY button in the bottom left corner of the pop-up player, make sure you wait 5-10 seconds of black screen for the movie reel to start playing.


    Mouse Click on the film strip thumbnail.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
