I've never heard of the XM16A. Are you referring to the XM16E1? If not, please do enlighten me.

My understanding was that it was a M16 20" without the trap door and holes in the bottom of the stock for water drainage. The Navy also has it listed as MK4 MOD 0
I saw the rifle listed that way, XM16A somewhere online. That's why I'm looking for photos, to see if it's the same rifle as the MK4 MOD0. https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/451535_.html&page=1 |

Very interesting, I had never heard of that rifle. I was under the impression that SEALS were just carrying 601s, 602s and 603s like everybody else. Thanks for the link!

Anytime sir. While I am slowly and I mean very slowly collecting parts I will building a replica of the MK MOD 0, with one exception mine will not have a 20" barrel it will have a 16.5" barrel for a direct thread suppressor

I think you are right, with my 3 days straight of digging through every online and print writing about the MK4 I see no mention of the XM16A. Thanks for the help guys.

There's not much info out there about the Mk4 either.
Seems like there is a little information about them in a book by Kevin Dockery Weapons of the Navy SEALs. I seem to remember a special coating on the aluminum in addition to the water drainage holes...then there are the suppressors. Good luck. Post pics.
