Been looking for a Colt XM16E1 reissue with no luck. Anyone have a lead on one that’s in stock?

Thanks,

Keep checking Gunbroker they pop up from time to time, right now there’s 2 on there but they’re in the same auction and the price is insane (the SN’s are sequential) I’ve also seen them at gun shows but I’m fortunate enough to live where there’s some really large shows (2000+ tables)

I’ve been on Gunbroker and other then those two over priced ones you mentioned, nothing… I appreciate any help in locating one.

Thanks,

Damn! When I see them at gun shows they’re usually $2500 but I guess as time goes on they’ll probably go up in price since I believe they only made 500 of them, shit for that price ($3500) you could probably build a reweld cheaper than that depending on how picky you are with authentic Colt period parts.

ETA:

Just found this…

I saw one two days ago at Adventures Outdoor in Smyrna GA, but it has since sold to me. Not sure if they have another, but you might try calling. Sold for $2499.00. KEEP LOOKING, you want be disappointed.
