m16a1
The M16 rifle, officially designated Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16, is a United States military adaptation of the Armalite AR-15 rifle. The original M16 was a selective fire 5.56mm rifle with a 20-round magazine.
In 1964, the M16 entered U.S. military service and the following year was deployed for jungle warfare operations during the Vietnam War. In 1969, the M16A1 replaced the M14 rifle to become the U.S. military's standard service rifle. The M16A1 improvements include a bolt-assist, chrome plated bore and a new 30-round magazine.
In 1983, the U.S. Marine Corps adopted the M16A2 rifle and the U.S. Army adopted it in 1986. The M16A2 fires the improved 5.56×45mm NATO (M855/SS109) cartridge and has a new adjustable rear sight, case deflector, heavy barrel, improved handguard, pistol grip and buttstock, as well as a semi-auto and three-round burst only fire selector. Adopted in 1998, the M16A4 is the fourth generation of the M16 series. It is equipped with a removable carrying handle and Picatinny rail for mounting optics and other ancillary devices.
The M16 has also been widely adopted by other militaries around the world. Total worldwide production of M16s has been approximately 8 million, making it the most-produced firearm of its 5.56 mm caliber. The U.S. Army has largely replaced the M16 in combat units with the shorter and lighter M4 carbine, and the U.S. Marine Corps approved a similar change in October 2015.
These are pretty good uppers atleast in my experience. From my information online it looks like these were assembled with surplus parts by Sendra corp back in the late 70s/80s and were generally popular due to their purple bluing (looks almost like sharpie on metal). It does have a birdcage on...
For sell is a parts set for an M16A1. Easier to list what's not included. No lower receiver , no upper receiver with rear sights, no magazine. Everything else to build a nice clone should be there. Most all is brand new from Brownells and not taken out of the bags. some of the small parts are...
Ive got a suplus A1 Stock with buffer and spring (missing the screw that holds the stock to buffertube to the stock, a $4 part). Brownells A1 grip, and Carbine length handguards. I'm looking for $120 for the lot or straight strade for an Ace Entry length skeleton stock.
I also have a stripped...
New never mounted. Had them sitting in a parts box for about a year. Buyer picks up located in hazel dell WA. Retail I’ve seen is anywhere from 119-150.
Selling a complete Vietnam era upper this is the real thing and NOT a repro retro/Brownell‘s redUX. I believe the upper is a Harrington Richardson or Hydramatic make as it has flash on the back of the site and the correct counter bevel in the front lug. If you look in the book on AR M-16s...
Brand new stripped A1 upper with M4 feedramps. Forging from Nodak Spud and machined by Brownells for their retro line. Perfect for a XM177E2 or M16A1 build. I also have a USGI sealed new rear sight kit from 1973 sealed in plastic I am including with sale. Only selling because my wife is left...

My company (Denezol Tool Co. Inc. * Cage Code 1GA21) is a long time aerospace & defense machine shop. Recently we've started tinkering with a few gun parts as most of the guys here are shooters. As I like to shoot with irons I was disappointed in the availability of high quality precision iron...
Up for sale is a rare upper because it is referred to as a moon rock by some collectors. Possibly a Norinco M16 style upper. It is cast. Looks to be copied off of a early Forward Assist with square forge in front of dust cover. I am baffled because it looks even older than the less heard of...
M16a1 clone built on Nodak Spud A1 receivers and given a BFPU look. Upper, lower, trigger guard, carry handle, and dust cover were anodized Colt grey from US anodizing. Barrel is Brownells 1/12 5.56 CL barrel. Unmarked FA bolt carrier with Colt (MPC) marked bolt. Low round count- approximately...

All Colt. CH forge mark on upper. Barrel is marked “C MP CHROME BORE”. Charging handle included. No bcg. Bore is excellent and almost new. Upper has seen some wear but in excellent shape. Handguards are worn but look great on this upper. A1 birdcage is on it right now. All original profile...
