M16A1 Clone, Project Info, Surplus Buttstock and Handguards

Описание: Another great niche in the collecting community!

In 1964, the United States Army and United States Air Force adopted the M16 to replace the M14 battle rifle. The M16 has a vast history; it first served with U.S. troops in Vietnam and saw action with other allied and NATO forces globally. Adversaries used the M16 as well, when captured. The M16A1 was an improved M16, and the M16A2 was an improvement from that. The M4 and M4A1 were carbines that spawned from the M16 and had seen action during close quarters combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, 58 years later, the U.S. has adopted the Sig XM5 and has started phasing out the M4 and M16A2.

For span of around 60 years, the M16 and its variants have had a long history of serving with many nations to include the Canada, Malaysia, Israel, South Korea, South Vietnam, the U.S. and many many more. It's sad to see a historic relic not in it's original form like this and the next step is to get it to the range.

In this video, I show off a Colt M16A1 barreled action as well as go over how to restore some buttstocks and handguards I got from Numrich.

❗️Update: I did experiment with mineral spirits to clean and acetone to help remove the foam. I noticed some slight CRACKING. Do not use mineral spirits on the stock. If you were to use acetone to help remove the foam, try brushing it on the foam and avoid using it on the plastic.
