Seems very odd for so many parts to have been changed on this rifle given its "supposed" history, could be worth the money if it were actually all original a copy and paste from the ad ![](/images/pixels/clear.gif)
This auction is for a used, fired several hundred rounds by the original owner, the Vice President of Engineering at Colt 1963-66, serial number SP00004.It is of the earliest design, has factory letter dated 10-2006.Although the gun has been fired, it exhibits the original finish, earliest designs of the famous M16 rifle, including old prong flash hider, bayonet lug, triangular hand guards, no forward assist, rear sling swivel that was mounted with a roll pin and stock swivel, black canvas sling, original Colt marked factory sling,and what appears to be different stock material. The bolt is the original black finish, nor hard chrome as in today.The original owner mounted a factory bipod and there are marks where the finish was rubbed bright, just inder the front sight, and a scope was also mounted to the rifle carry handle during testing and firing.There are some handling marks and scratches in the plastic, very light patina on the safety lever and dust cover, and front section of the barrel.The reserve is $15,000.00. This rifle and those beginning with serial numbers 1 through 10 were reserved for employees of Colt Industries. FFL is required |
