Looking at most of the pictures they seem to be of later USMC A4s with ACOGs. When the army used them prior to switching to the M4 what optic was in common use? CCO? Eotech? ACOG?

Has anyone heard anything about the release of FN's Military Collector series? I read that it would be in the fall, but a Google search reveals nothing new since it was announced back in the springtime.
I don't suppose anyone has an inside scoop? |

Have the FN military clones materialized yet?

I don't actually hate you, but I hate you. I am super jelly. How much did you snag this gem for? She's a beauty! View Quote Haha, thanks. I picked it up for 30k-ish. This one serial number ended with 063. 047 sold and 080 is still available. I opted for 63 because 80 had a tiny scratch on the upper, above the selector switch. I still want 080 as that is more than likely the highest serial numbered transferable A2 in the registry. Along with this A2E4, I bought two other rare M16s, so I gotta fatten up the piggy bank before I can buy 080. Here is 080 http://www.davidspiwak.com/guns/colt-m16-a2-factory-flattop/ |

Cool Story Bro, but that selector switch & grip style is incorrect for that make/model/&year. Nice weapon, but clearly not shipped out that way from the factory. View Quote I was told he ran them through production in the early to mid 90's. I'm not too familiar with the switch/grip by year, but does that fall in line, year wise to the grip/switch? They were virgin receivers, meaning non anodized bare aluminum. I also don't know what the box (as in cardboard packaging) looked like for the 1990-95 era. Can anyone with the original box validate? |
|
|
I also got this SMG from the same Colt employee. I know a little about a lot, but 2 heads are better than 1. And 100 AR/M16 guru heads are waaaay better than 1 ;).
Anyway, SMG wise, does this gun look factory correct for a late 1985 to early 1986 era? Box, wrapping and all. *Very bottom of the page* https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_15/208426_9mm_AR_gun_porn__ok_lets_see_them_.html&page=90 |

It was 3 m16s that I bought for a birthday present to myself last month. Don't get me wrong, I'm not made out of money. I wish I was. I just have my priorities straight: Machineguns > Food |

But as I see it, the more of all types and makes, the merrier :). Its a short and sweet video, as the camera took for cover ;). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Qxb0XGrGY |

Plus, if they haven't charged a round you cant put it on safe, correct?

I'm glad I can finally post a pic of my newly assembled A4 clone. Two months of culling together the uppers parts, a 1/2 day of sandblasting, Parkerizing the barrel assemblies (also refinished my A2 build), and a 1/2 hour of assembly.
