Are you using a 25 meter zero or you hadn't zero'd more accurately it yet? 8" seems a little high for a 25 meter zero. Especially with a rifle. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JJREA:

I DO know anything prior to this was with bulk 55grn FMJ as I was just playing around with it. So there is likely some difference between the 55s and my 69SMK match loads. I may end up taking this to the CMP Games and using it in Modern Military ...which for all purposes is an "AR15" match....sad... |

Yeah, I think ADCO recommends opening the port up a little. But I don't know the spec. It might be totally fine the way it is though. I would just bring some wolf or tula and see..... Or if you have a can....

I used a DelTon heavy barrel for my A2 dissy and turned it down to .625 under the handguard. The stock gas port was around .094 and wouldnt cycle steel cased ammo. I opened it up to .11 and it eats anything but still runs soft.
I thought I was done with builds for a while...and then an assembled C7 and a Colt A2 fell into my lap for unbelievably cheap. Oh the possibilities. ...

Here's one on the EE: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Equipment-Exchange/Bushmaster-XM15-E2S-dissipator-Restricted-marked-Made-in-Windham-ME/21-1715864/ And I've seen several others on GB pop up. I don't remember 16" with rifle gas (or the mock version with carbine or mid gas under the handguards) being a big thing outside of hobbyists like myself, is this just odd timing/me noticing it more or was there ever serious LE love of 16" rifle gassed HBARs? |

Wasn't that what a navy A3 was? A Full Auto A2........
If that is not the case, and you have to have it clone correct, Augee says a 727 was FA..... You could swap a stock and barrel. But then I think the lower was marked M16A2 Carbine...... |

My contribution. To keep this as a Colt I used an M4 carbine lower that Brownells was selling for $199 a month back. Upper is, I believe a Colt. Barrel is a surplused FN take off barrel. The M203 is a Colt with a 37mm barrel until the Form 1 comes back and some 40mm swag from my other registered M203. I wished the receiver anodizing on the whole thing was the dark grey and not black what it is what it is. This is exactly as the one I was issued 30 years ago. We didn't have the fancy top sling adaptors or M60 slings, just the silent sling.

Finally got the AR out to the perpetually even more trashed forest spot. The tree the AR is rested against has no backstop behind it, to say nothing of the overwhelming shittiness of shooting up a fucking tree in the national forest. These spots are 100% going to get shut down. With that anger out of the way, the rifle functioned flawlessly. I ran dirt cheap Tula and bottom of my random bullet bucket steel case garbage ammo in addition to a few mags of good stuff. This was a solid purchase.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver:
@gordog one of your brothers is vouching for you! machinegunseabee do you remember if it was a FN? Was the receiver marked M16A2 and have AUTO without the BURST struck out? Any armorer can easily swap the fire control groups but is supposed remark the receiver with either AUTO/BURST. The E3 marking is making that A2 and experimental model. Once type classified and approved for variation then it would become the M16A3. Thinks of the XM16E1s before becoming M16A1s. CD Now when I went back they had gotten brand new FN A3's 20" rifles with auto fire control, so new I don't think anyone had shot the one I was issued except the factory. All the M4's I have seen and used were Colt lowers. The Navy still has lower receivers marked AR-15 XM16E1 in service that have been converted to A3 via Crane. I last saw one in 2013.

Can't stop, won't stop. Somebody posted this little beaut for $400 fees included on a local board and I grabbed it. I can never quite figure out if the C7 upper gets lumped in with A1s or the general A2 era features are worth getting it lumped in here.

NICE. It's at home here for sure.
You know what's weird. I wonder if that wasn't an arfcom member's gun. I remember specifically seeing someones gun on here with the very top of the FSB not painted like that. I'm guessing to keep the sight picture black....... IDK. But I know for sure I saw someone on this site with paint like that at some point. Long time ago. 400 was STEAL!! |
