3rd rifle down looks to be an actual A2 rifle with M5 ras instead of a2 handguards.
2nd rifle down looks to be in the process of ejecting the magazine.

ETA: page ownerage... - I'll go snap some A4 clone pics to post here shortly...

ETAA: So here are some of my (in-progress) M16A4 & A4-inspired builds... Some specifics from left to  MOE handguards & VG; MOE PG, Matech buis, & original contract run OKC3S bayonet & sheath.

Rifles #2, 4, & 5 have FN 20" cold-hammer-forged barrels. Rifle #1 has a Windham Weapons A2 barrel, and Rifle #3 is equipped with an original Bushmaster (now Windham Weapons) A2 barrel.
I also have a P&S Products M5 RAS on order to replace the MOE handguards on Rifle #5, and will probably use Magpul FG rail covers instead of the P&S covers simply to maintain the over-all foliage ...greenie-ness? of the rifle.

I tried to follow the 2 is one & 1 is none approach, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm taking it a little too far...

When I left the Navy in 2010 our ship only had A2 rifles and Mk18 Mod 0.

After I left I worked for a contractor still on the ships and I would see what appeared to be A4 rifles that looked like they just came our of a crate from FN or Colt pretty much most of the time.

Excellent!  Great photo and description of your rifles.  Thanks.  I'm getting my first M16A4 inspired build together and love to look at this thread.  I don't have any good photos currently but I'm close to having something ready to post.  I just got a great deal on a used KAC M5ras last weekend and have a vertical grip on the way and just need to source a bayonet and sling and I'll be gtg.

This, even with irons that rifle can still do some work

besides my A4 clone, I have a flat top 20in HBAR that I have irons on. I have no issues hitting steel at 200yds with it

as to the ACOG, my A4 wears a used TA31F that I got in a trade along with the M5 RAS and 3k rounds of .22LR. I got all of that for a M1A that I didn't shoot anymore. That ACOG gets way more use than the M1A ever did

Which brings up the eternal question. If you have a Matech in the box, and a KAC in the box, and you have no optic for the gun, do you run the carry handle or the BUIS?



These decisions just kill me sometimes.

Carry handle.


 






Mine has an ACOG on it but I do sometimes take it off and run the carry handle. Just feels right on there, gotta love that long sight radius.

Which is your favorite sling? I'm leaning towards the BFG sling with a Spec-Ops stock pouch(has the D ring on the top strap). From what I've read here, the three point sling is not as ideal
as a two point. Very nice rifles you have!!! Congrats and thanks!

The magazine is removed and the bolt is locked open. She may even have a chamber flag in place but we can't see because the ejection port is out-of-sight.

I shoot at a lot of "amateur" events open to the public where new shooters show up to "compete". While chamber flags are mandatory, as are actions open, magazines removed and safeties on, it promoted unsafe firearm handling practices because now everyone "knows" the weapons are safe. When I'm the range officer I instruct everyone to treat the rifles as if they are loaded anyway and always pay attention to their muzzles. Bad habits are not easily unlearned.

While chamber flags and other safety measures virtually guarantee that nobody is in harms way, they should never replace muzzle discipline which is what everyone needs to use 100% of the time. Training and real world use should always be the same.

For early(ish) A4 builds, I like to use the Eagle Industries 3-point sling, used in a standard 2-point configuration, since firstly - that is the type of sling setup that I was "raised on" so-to-speak, and secondly, because the BFG NSN 2-point sling wasn't yet available for use during that timeframe. (The EI 3-point sling also works pretty well with the Spec-Ops pouch, for the early "war-years"-type variants.)

However, If I had to choose a "favorite" sling for over-all A4 use, it would definitely be the BFG NSN 2-point, as there really isn't much, if anything, Not to like about it. It's built like a tank & tough-as-nails, and yet still easy to use & adapt to various weapons, while still remaining simple in design. It's not too narrow as to bite into the neckline or shoulder during carry, or too wide as to be overly difficult to manipulate. Not too heavy as to be inflexible or overly weighty, or too light or soft as to cause it's slip buckles to lose their positioning... Perhaps the only thing not to like about the BFG A4 setup is the use of the forward fixed-loop rail mount, which sticks out from the weapon just far enough to be more of an annoyance than a true problem - even then, it can easily be remedied by using either a wire-loop front sight base mount, or a standard A2 fsb side-sling mount instead. Really - No matter how you look at it - it's simply an outstanding sling to use with most any AR-platform weapon. I wish it had been available for use when I was growing up...

Thank you, was already set on the BFG sling as I already have two(a padded for my AR10 and a non-padded for my SR15) and really like them. Just wanted your opinion.

Thanks again,

I can see where you're coming from, 'cause I know where you've been and I can see where you're going 'cause I can see the direction you're headed in. I just don't know where the hell you're at right now.

Finally got something going here, bought a clone upper off the EE. For now it's on my DPMS A2 and I'm looking for an A2 stock but it'll do.

Well done Mossy, I love that stock anyways. Yes yes I know, it's temporary.
But I have that stock too and had my A4 sit for a while in that configuration. Love it.

Very nice, I'm really a fan of it too and have one on my precision AR as well.

No pics yet, but I'm finally putting together the A4 that I should have done last year.



Aero lower, traded off my Magpul stock for an A2.

P&S M5 RAS from Numrich.

Ordered a BCM 20" upper w/BCG yesterday.

Mil bro hooking me up with a Matech BUIS.

Will be getting an ACOG next month for it. Will have to decide between the Eagle or BFG doing for it.

Took some slightly better pics of my humble M16A4 clone with my cell phone.  Build was done using 100% genuine FNMI parts, with the exception of 80% lower and generic semi-auto LPK with "F" marked pistol grip.  Bolt carrier must have been a blem because it has a very faint "F" mark.  Most difficult part to find for this build is an "F" marked rifle upper.  Thank you once again to FIDiveCop for the UID sticker.  I'll have to dig out my dessert BDU and OKC3S from storage for some more pics

A member here does, I think most people throw him a few bucks as a donate for his time, but he isn't "selling" them.

Honestly, I doubt I will. A little gun shy, after having broken an ear off once trying to do just that.




If you're looking for a TA31RCOA4, I ordered mine from Universalmania.com this week. $1219, and I had it in 3 days. I was impressed.

Not liable to be a popular opinion in this thread. But yes, a M4 has many advantages.

That was announced a little while ago, I doubt many people posting their 20" M16A4 pics are going to worry about it.  The M4 is nice, so is the CQBR/ MK18, and so are plenty of others.  Thankfully we can all own more than one AR15.
