I was able to purchase a beautiful pre-ban Colt "Government Model" AR15A2 recently, in the original box, etc. mint condition and joined the forum today to ask a few questions. Save for the fact that it has no "three round burst" mode option, as far as I can tell, it is as close to an original M16A2 as is available to mere mortals, but of course, correct me if I'm wrong.

1) Is it true that the M855 round was made for this version of the M-16 family of rifles, the A2?

2) I would like to purchase the most authentic butt stock cleaning kit for this rifle as possible, what should I be looking for?

3) Ditto for the most authentic bayonet for it? Is the longer USMC bayo considered ok for the A2?

Thank you for whatever information you might have to share with me.
