OK All the red X's are gone. Some of the pics are not very clear, but they are all I have. If you have better ones, post 'em and I'll get them in there.

Thanks, you are welcome. I was thinking about adding a "fun" category to include images like the "Mattel" M16 receiver. Does anyone think this would be a good idea, or would it ruin it? |
|
|
Nice! Thanks. Now can you download all those pics to my hard drive? I'm too lazy to 'right click, save' them all.

|
Great post. Thanks for the hard work and getting it together.
|
|
Great work _DR!
Deserving of a tack, as it is sure to become a reference point for future discussions. |

tagged - to read from work where I have faster puter and big-assed 'net connection

Well, now you have got me curious. What is the history of the Matel rifle? Why would it go into the FUN thread, I thought it was one of the first ones? But what the hell do I know? |

I'll be a good boy, for once. |

It's for use in the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, there are no front sights (tracers used to aim) and only a wire folding folding stock, and it's full auto only. It's so troops can spray fire from the inside of an IFV when in a hostile zone. Pretty much useless for anything but in vehicle use, but still interesting nevertheless. Oh, and did realize that your last post was post #223? How appropriate! |

M231 5.56mm Firing Port Weapon The infantry rifle squad uses the M231 FPW to engage enemy personnel, crew-served weapons, and ATGM teams, and to suppress suspected close-in enemy positions. The FPW has a maximum effective range of 300 meters (tracer burnout). When not using the FPWs, the crew stores them in their assigned storage racks located inside the vehicle. |

It never existed. The pictures that have been circulating are photoshop digital renderings (Fakes). The "Mattel" M16 is an urban legend, a myth, an old soldier's tale. It never happened. |

OK............I feel like a real dumbass now. I only heard about it along time ago. Never even questioned it. |
|
|
Don't feel bad. Like a lot of urban legends it was believable and I believed it also until I researched it and found it to be a rumor that was started during the Viet Nam conflict. |

One Colt CAR-A3 HBAR ELite added to the lineup! Thanks! You know Colt rifles are great, but sometimes I think they subscribe to the "Harley-Davidson" school of product naming. About a thousand different models and model names with very slight actual variations... You know, like FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide, FXDXI Super Glide Sport, FXD Super Glide.... ...Colt Match Target Match HBAR, Colt Match Target Competition HBAR, Colt AR15A2 HBAR Sporter... So many models, so little time! |

I am getting a bunch of X's, how about a list of what you have so I (and others) can see what is needed.
Thanks! JC |

If you need pics of a Colt 612 or a H&R US Prop, let me know.

Thanks QuietShootr. The two Colt 9mm ones I had were the 9mm SMG and one that was very similar to yours but was marked AR15 "9mm NATO" instead of just "9mm". That makes it a unique variation, and that's what I am looking for. |

I posted one here, 2nd post from the bottom of the page, along with a full view of a GM/Hydramatic receiver. HTH. Glenn R. |

That one doesn't have the "horsey" on it either...I'll try to take a better pic of mine - lighting was bad in that one... Edit: there, fixed it |

|
|
Quite right, I didn't have it yet, I will add it, Thanks! |
|
|
That is a very clear pic, got it, will add it to the lineup. I didn't notice the absence of the pony either, thanks for pointing that out. I never had any idea there were so many variations in colt receivers. |
