[mfrobert]

Well I finally got it built, minus Aimpoint Micro T-1 in the mail. Detailed specs to come. Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure. - - Matt

Looks good, why the T-1 over the Eotech?

Didn't you like the Eotech?

Because he's got excellent taste!

I think the Micro is a far better optic. I've used both extensively, and I'm better able to acquire the target w/ the micro. To each his own

I don't have either, but I plan on getting something for mine soon.

Good luck in your search! Just make sure you fondle them all before you buy

Here's a potentially dumb question, with what I think may be an answer to my own question.

Why call it and M16, when the rest of the gun are more similar to the M4 (16" bbl, adjustable stock, etc)? Is it considered an M16 because of the full auto vs. 3 rd burst?

Is it considered an M16 because of the full auto

I use M16 as a generic for any AR platform that is FA. It probably isn't correct, but when you start telling people you have a Mk18 Mod 0 you start losing them.

If you say M16 they know instantly the ball park you are playing in.

Well it's a 14.5" bbl. M4 are 16" and don't have bbl. They have a bevel for mounting of grenade launcher. This is full auto so that is another difference.

Really anymore people use the M4 term so loosely - - Matt

Thanks for confirming that M16 = Full Auto. Great looking carbine you got there!

Ok noob here.. Why isn't there an "AUTO" position on the receiver?

There is....Very last picture shows it in the full auto position. If selector points back toward stock it's in the rock n roll position

I apologize, I wasn't clear. Why isn't it marked "AUTO"?

 

[curraheeguns]

Because it is a semi-auto GSE forged lower that has been converted to full auto.

AR15 / M16 Weapons Carbines Accessories, Tactical Gear, Optics, Sale

Meaning it is more then likely a post dealer sample.

 

[curraheeguns]

Or I guess it could be a Form 10 gun also.

Or I guess it could be the alternative, but being it is posted on the internet I would guess option #1.

Not to be aXXl but M4s in use have a 14.5'' barrel length

Sorry have to be a smarta$$

Great rifle looks awesome

And thanks for sharing pics

 

[Ol' Wiley]

Looks good Matt... count me in as envious.

Runnin rull auto? You need to get that lower ingraved. Should say Auto, Full Auto or Rat-a-tat-tat

It's a little difficult labeling anything M16 that wasn't government issue. In my mind that's what defines the rifle. You can have a full auto civillian AR15 and it doesn't make it an M16, just as switching the trigger group out on a government issue M16 doesn't turn it into an AR15.

Very nice looking build btw
