It's a non-firing replica. No telling what that lump actually does.

Also, if you'll notice, the mag release has a fence around it, I didn't think this feature was on the Vietnam era M-16's. Alot of times the movie people have to take new lowers and uppers and dress them up to look like the older parts. Talk at ya' later. TN.Frank

Could it be a FA lower but with the hole plugged.

Quoted: Also, if you'll notice, the mag release has a fence around it, I didn't think this feature was on the Vietnam era M-16's. While it wasn't on the earliest "AR15" rifles used by the advisors or on the early XM16E1s used by the Army in the early 60s (63-65), it was around since 65, and most of the Vietnam-era guns had it. The confusion comes from the fact that Colt used the early, "slab-side" raw forgings that they'd already produced, but couldn't use for military rifles, to make civilian SP-1s up through the 80s, until they finally ran out of them. -Troy |

That's just how Marui or Shoei made the non-gun M16A1 back in the 70s and 80s. I don't think they had a good pic of the M16A1 when they made the die for casting the upper. I'm not sure, but I think there was a hex screw in the lump that held the upper closed on the lower instead of the rear take down pin. That way, you couldn't drop a real M16A1 upper on the non-gun lower and have a machinegun.
