My father served in the USAF from 1966-1970. I'm thinking about building an AR just like what he would have used in basic. Now my question, what would he have used? I know an A1 upper with the triangle handguards, anything else I need to know?

The rifle would have an M16 "slickside" upper with no forward assist for the bolt, not an M16A1 upper per se.

www.retroblackrifle.com is a good resource plus the picture threads tacked above in this forum.

Others will chime in with more info in a bit.
