I spotted for a very small amount of time in this YouTube video of what appears to be a very clone correct PSA Colt Light Machine Gun M16A2.

3:38- 3:44 in this vid just a quick glance in background

Okay, if this drops I’m snagging one. I haven’t NEEDED a gun in a while and I NEED this.

Should include a PSA FRT

[#12]

They should totally partner up with RareBreed and license and make FRTs.

Make them common use.

Saw it earlier today but didn’t post, figured with all the SHOT attendees someone would have already posted it.

We’re goin’ heavy! The LMG will be an addition to H&R’s retro line of firearms. pic.twitter.com/OicZLfIbUK

What do you think that will cost? I just want the furniture.

H&R's pricing has been reasonable so far. $1,500 or less wouldn't surprise me.

It looks like it is bending the wall hanger because it's so fucking heavy.

I’m hoping you’re right, but I think a little north of $2000 to start.
They’ll probably also end up just selling the upper for those with NFA lowers.

LOL, nice. I've got one of the shitty copies.

I remember when they were nearly giving those things away.

Wow, PSA is really on top of things!

Now do suppressors!

An A4 removable carry handle variant would be cool. I appreciate the retro replicas too but mounting modern optics on a HB gun just makes too much sense.

Didn’t even realize this thing existed and now I want one.

I hope they use the FN MG barrels for these. If so, I'm in for at least an upper.

PSA has been killing it lately with their new AR offerings.

Besides the handguard and heavy barrel, how much is different on them over a standard AR? My thinking is that given the parts commonality, it wouldn't ultimately cost that much more for what's essentially a few alterations. Granted, a new mold for the handguard isn't chump change, but they can produce, and presumably move them at a high volume. I'm also not a colt automatic rifle expert though, so maybe there are more substantial differences than I'm aware of.

I just realized that I'm not accounting for the bipod, grip, and carry handle. Hmm.

I remember in the late 90s/early 2000s they were selling Colt LMG uppers sans bolt for around $350 in Shotgun News. Just like STG FAL kits for $100, I didn't buy them when I should have....

Yup - I recall CDNN was selling them and other Colt uppers. I bought a 16" HBAR Colt upper from them dirt cheap.

CDNN used to have some good sales in 90s/early 00s, New FN Hi-powers for $399 in various flavors....

I know it'll never happen, but an open bolt option for M16 owners would be cool. I wonder if they used a beefed up gas tube like the originals?

You'd laugh to see how many belt feds are in California. Legally.

They have goofy ass winged pistol grips or spades only but they're 100% out there legally. I couldn't believe it but somehow they've been overlooked by the insane antigun laws there.

I say - good!

I hope they get around to doing a Colt 950 model as well so I can have a spare upper for my gun.

I'm in for a barreled upper to pair with my FRT-equipped lower.

Posted: 1/25/2024 7:12:30 PM EST

So, the Colt LMG is an open bolt machinegun. Are these going to be open or closed bolt and what does ATF think about that?

Lower needs more holes.

I'm sure these are going to be closed bolt.

Colt sold them in closed bolt configuration as well.

I doubt ATF would care either way if it's just an upper. Such parts aren't restricted.

There was a place online selling all the open bolt parts needed for a conversion.
