Thankfully we can all own more than one AR15. Like 10. The more that get phased out, the better for many of us 'collectors' who are plainly happy that another model gets in the collector zone (as in, no more issued hence even more desirable) DAMN top of page unexpected, adding pic as required  Older Looking Ar15s by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

These decisions just kill me sometimes. If iron sights are the primary sights, I always prefer to have a carry handle. Maybe it's because that's how I started with the M16A2 but I feel more comfortable shooting with them compared to buis. |

Not only is this a tech forum, but it's also a picture thread, which means that not only should posts that are made here have some technical merit in relation to the M16A4 service rifle; it's accessories; or the civilian cloning of this weapon, but also that such posts (whenever possible or practical), should contains pics related to the comment or technical discussion being posted. Unsupported statements to the effect of "It's about time the military ceased using the M16A4 in combat." provide absolutely no technical merit to this thread & act only to either put down the weapon or insult those who would use it.

Plays well with self, and cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

P&S Handguard @ Brownells
Here is a cheaper alternative to the Knights Armament rail. First time I've seen it sold on the civilian market. P&S is currently providing handguards for both the M4 and M16 now in the US military. |

I saw the KA rail and decided it wasn't worth it to me. |

As a bonus, they are running free shipping on orders over $99, so use code "LY4" to get that too. |

| I'll be posting pics shortly, but I just finished an upper for my M16A4gery. I never intended to make a clone, but I acquired an FN barrel and then an FN upper and before I knew it, I had an all FN M16A4 clone upper. Even the BCG is marked. The M5 RAS is a P&S, which I think has a better color then the KAC I had years ago. I'll try an put up some pics tonight. |
Last wish? I wish... You had... More time.

The lines on the lower receiver around the pivot pin and reinforced area of receiver extension is very "organic" instead of being sharp angular. |

Always thought that rail was just Knights.... That is my understanding. Multiple contractors making the same thing to expand the industrial base and reduce cost |

Took forever and posted a million times but its done... I went with a Leupold Mark 4 cqt instead of an ACOG, tried to make it as close as I could to an a4 from 2006-2007 when I graduated from high school (type 1 diabetic 4f for the fail lol)....

Here is my M16A4gery:
It was just a happy accident. I got an FN barrel that was pretty beat up for a different build. I didn't like how beat up it was so I got a different barrel, a Windham which is a great barrel, to complete it. Rather than sell the FN barrel, I decided to assemble a new AR which I had not planned on doing originally. Only thing that made sense was an M16A4 clone. The barrel is FN, but so is the upper receiver and BCG. It has a complete P&S M5. ACOG will have to wait, but I did go with the KAC 600m BUIS. The Surefire M951 has a Larue mount and I want to covert it to an LED head. Lower is Spikes Tactical with a PSA classic LPK and RRA A2 stock set. I have a Specter CQB sling on the way to go with the Specter mag pouch that is already present. I'm a huge fan of 20" ARs so this fits in very nicely with what I like and have. |
