The range tested the Marines ability to move, shoot and communicate ensuring the units mission readiness. The SPMAGTF-CR-CC provides the Commander, U.S. Central Command with a wide array of crisis response and contingency options across the 20 countries in the area of operations. (U.S Marine photo by Cpl. Jonathan Boynes/Released) Why is FAST using a4s? I thought I saw them use m4s when I was in security forces. Back when we were using A2s on react teams at 8th&I over 10 years ago. I think... but I remember looking at them thinking that was some high speed shit. Only the RRT guys at the SWFs rate M4s It's kind ironic the MAs who do static post security rate M4s, while the Marines who do the patrols and mounted ops have A4s Thanks, im pretty far out the loop. I remember getting to 8th&I expecting mp5s because thats what our instructors in Chesapeake said we'd be issued. WRONG That would've been pretty sweet.

I don't know about the Cage code for the original barrel part; only stopped by to say that engraving turned out beautifully!

....This morning I got on Colts website and looked up the serial number. Nothing came back which I expected because not even my 6933 came back. They do not provide history on LE/Military guns to the best of my knowledge. To confirm the story and to get a bit of history on the gun, I was going to send in a FOIA request, to get some generic history. But since contacting Colt was a phone call away, why not.
So their website says if the serial numbers don't pull up anything, to give Customer Service a call. If customer service does not have anything in their records, then to contact Colt's archive department. I went ahead and called their archive department directly. I told the guy straight off the bat that I am looking to search a serial number for a transferable M16. To no surprise, he said they do not have access to the "machinegun database". To a surprise however, he said customer service has access to the "machingun database" and said they might have some info. But told me to tell them that I already spoke with the archive department if they try to transfer me back. So while being transfered. I almost hung up just due to the very dim hopes that customer service had some special access to a database that the Colt archive did not have. So I tell the CS guy I am looking to get history on a transferable Colt Machinegun. I give him the serial number and it is a hit! So initially I had thought the Colt bigwig that registered 4 of these virgin A2E3 receivers ran them through the assembly line in the early to mid 90s. Nope. according to Colt, this gun was manufactured 2008! I was literally like WTF? 2008? I told him I was anticipating the 90s not 08.... |

He stated that in his system, it says it was manufactured in 2008, and was listed in their system as a "M16A4, model RO901 20" Heavy Barrel". I had him read the serial number back to me just to make sure and it was correct. I pretty much shat a brick while on the phone. I then asked him if there was a date for late 85, to early 86 since this was a A2 stamped RR. He said it just says 2008 manufactured, but that he was in the 'New" data base. So he then searched the serial number in the "Old" database (LOL I swear I'm not making this **** up). So he gets a hit for the same serial number in the "old" database and say it was manufactured in December 1985, listed as a M16A2.
So this gun has two manufactured dates that are 23 years apart. One for the virgin receiver, and two when the Colt bigwig ran this RR virgin receiver and three others through the assembly line, to be factory built as M16A4's. That all being said, now I dont know if I even want to shoot it. It is all factory NIB with the wick still in the barrel. And after confirming with Colt, this is one of 4 factory built M16A4s, documented by colt as a M16A4, yet fully transferable. Just bizarre in my opinion, but I am happy as a clam to confirm that this is a legit, all factory M16A2E4 AKA A4. |

....That all being said, this is as new/current of a factory built transferable M16 as it gets. There is no longer a he said, she said story on it. It is confirmed with colt as a gun they built as a M16A2E4. Good news is now the value just jumped at least 5K. It is no long questionable authenticity when now they can call Colt and confirm the serial number and history themselves. Bad news is I think I may just leave it NIB.
Other good news from my call is: getting the history through Colt on a machingun has always been thought to not be attainable. That is not the case. If you own a transferable Colt, do just what I did, exactly how I did it: Call Colt Customer service and say: I have a transferable machinegun that I am looking to get history on via serial number. I called the Colt Archive department and they said they don't have access to the machinegun database, but that Customer Service may have access to the machinegun database" If nothing matches, asked them about the "new" database vs "old" database. |

I spoke with a NFA dealer (Dennis Scheid) friend of mine yesterday, and he said Ruben got his hands on one earlier this year and sold it for 40K. That is close to 10k more than I paid for mine. There is only one from that collection/batch that is available and that is through David Spiwak. He has just listed one for 32K, which is a bargin in my opinion. I wish I could buy it to have two, but I bought so many machineguns recently, that I am strapped for cash now. His is identical to mine, except his is the highest serial number out of the batch. Its just 17 serial numbers higher than mine, but it is the highest transferable M16A2 serial number I have ever seen. Most are don't go higher than 8002XXX... these are 80300XX. His is 080, mine is 063. 051 and 044 were sold when they became available a few months back. If I had the spare coin, I would scoop up 080 in a heart beat. http://www.davidspiwak.com/guns/colt-m16-a2-factory-flattop/ |

I bought it off a member who listed on EE. He told me he bought it at a gun show and had no idea on round count. But from looking at the barrel extension where the bolt carrier face would strike, it doesn't even look like it's been fired. Now I have to pick up a FH, FS parts, sling swivel and swivel rivet to finish out the barrel

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - The Marines of the rifle firing squad stand at parade rest during the Beirut Memorial ceremony held on Oct. 23, 2007. The 1983 Beirut barracks bombing was a major incident on Oct. 23, 1983, during the Lebanese Civil War. Two truck bombs struck buildings in Beirut housing U.S. and French members of the Multi-national Force in Lebanon, killing hundreds of servicemen, the majority being U.S. Marines. The blasts led to the withdrawal of the international peacekeeping force from Lebanon, where they had been stationed since the Israeli 1982 invasion of Lebanon. "Islamic Jihad" took responsibility for the bombing but that organization is thought to have been a nom de guerre for Hezbollah receiving help from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I miss my A4 clone. It was always my favorite. I only have one AR and it's a semi-block II clone. Thinking of switching back to the A4. Nothing else feels as good.
What to do? http://i.imgur.com/htIQQRUl.jpg |

What to do? http://i.imgur.com/htIQQRUl.jpg I always go back to my 20" A2 also. I just wish it was as accurate as my recce. But it just balances so nice and just feels better when shooting, shouldering, fondling, etc etc. You should have both though. You might regret getting rid of the "in" carbine. LOL. |

Can someone give me more information about the sling hold the marine above is using? Does it have a particular name?

Not the sling itself but the way it is positioned and the way he is holding the rifle. It appears that the sling is going over his right shoulder, around his back, under his left arm and around his left forearm.

The new FN military collector series will be FNMI marked.
But at a minimum advertised price at $1600...I don't think the sales will be that outstanding...  |

My Halloween build. Just received the lower and a couple other final parts I needed last week. I removed the crush washer as supplied by PSA and installed the correct peel washer. I forgot how much easier crush washers are but I love the retro look of the peel washer on this build. I'm going to switch the front sling mount to QD but I think that's it. Can't wait to shoot it and get some decent outdoor pics.
