I know they're not 100% accurate but they're pretty close. I need to get a rifle-length skinny hand-guard for the musket.

Swapped out the barrel on my M16A2 build.  It originally had an FNMI marked barrel with an F marked FSB.  That barrel was pulled and used for my M16A4 build.  It has been replaced with an FNMI cage code marked (3S679) barrel with a standard (non F marked) FSB.  The barrel was new with the wick still in it and in a factory bag.  The label showed it as an M16A2 replacement barrel.

I have that same FN cage code barrel on my A2.  Good barrel.

Just picked up this rifle, and even thou it's "only" a 6520 it's been a dream of mine to own. You see I used to live in California and in 1989 when I was only 15 years old this rifle was banned by name so even thou I could, and I did, own a "copy" I could never own a real Colt AR-15 A2 as long as I lived in that State. I even have a picture of myself as a kid with a Colt advertisement for this rifle hanging on my wall.

I've since escaped California and have been on the lookout for one of these. Most I found were in the $1000.00+ range which I wasn't willing to spring for. Last week ran across this Colt LE6520 as an agency trade in someone posted in GD. They were $699.00 at Buds and I jumped on it.

I finally have my Colt AR-15A2 Gov't Carbine and the 15 year old in me is going crazy.

That A2 commando is absolutely beautiful!
I have always wanted to build one and a Gary Gordon 727 tribute rifle.

Do you have any specs on your rifle or a build thread you can point to?

It also said they are stacked and counted in order by serial number.  OUCH!

Of course, since those are stacked on the grass, you know that someone is going to have to inventory them and re-stack or re-rack them someplace else.

And I'm sure rotating guard shifts. Some poor lower-enlisted likely lost their weekend to sit in a circle of concertina wire and stare at the grass.

I've been wanting an M16A2 clone for awhile, but I never found one for sale. I could have taken the time to build one, but in the end I just got lazy and bought a Windham 20" A3 rifle and swapped the upper receiver for one from DPMS.

First A2 build here, another in the works.

Upper/lower color difference slightly bothers me, but just put it together this a.m.

F/K upper
14.5" Colt SOCOM bbl
PSA premium bcg
CMMG/ALG lpk
Repro stock/handuards
Anderson lower

Build for a friend.  Started as a $60?  65? Sabre Defense (Cav Arms Mk 2) lower from Trinity Ordnance.  Then I managed to break a LRBHO pin boss ear off by trying to hit the roll pin in w/ a hammer, so I dropped it off @ GWACS for their $35 replacement warranty.  Since I bought a LPK from them, they graciously installed it for me, so I still don't know how to correctly install a LRBHO roll pin.  

Had an old Bushmaster/Olympic? A2 upper I picked up used at Ray's Hardware, and installed a heavy dissy bbl w/ carbine gas I got off the EE.  It's worn various handguards, and has a lo pro gas block from Model 1 Sales.  When I went to install a LeVang linear comp, sample discovered both this bbl and the 9x19mm bbl I bought off the EE were threaded off kilter.  Shipped back the LeVang, and threw on the KAK flash can.  The MagPul's I picked up @ Academy on close out, and snagged a mag for my buddy as well.

Decided to cannibalize my Colt AR15A4 with non F-marked front sight barrel for other builds. The last vestiges of the Clinton era have been removed, and my A2 clone is now complete.
