I got my M4A1 with oval handguards, detachable carrying handle, 14.5" bbl with A2 FH, Colt N1 stock and side sling swivel in Apr 95' as I caught up to my ODA at NTC. When I left for the O&I course in Jan 95', we still had our M16A2s. 5th SFGA got them in Feb-Mar 95'. M4A1 in Jordan Aug 95'. Sling attached to side sling swivel.

Kick! My clone of my Iraq rifle. Apart from a third pin, pinned flash hider, and an N1 stock, that’s what I hauled around upon arriving at the unit to when I turned it back in after getting off the plane at Ft. Benning before reuniting with the family. I would have bought that old rifle (W0105xx with a barrel from the mid-90s) in a heartbeat of they’d let me.
