You guess correctly. And a *pre-ban* Bushmaster with a 20" A2-profile barrel will give you the closest thing available to the M16A2; the differences being strictly those having to do with semi vs full-auto fire.

Don't forget barrel twist! It is a marginal difference now; but if the heavy bullet fad continues it may not be. |

Sounds like mine, with 1/7 A2 Colt Barrel.
And my Colt R6601, retrofit with ALL Colt Upper 1/7. |

Note that Bushmaster makes 20" A2 and 14.5" M4 barrels in both 1:9 and 1:7 twists, so you can have whichever you prefer.

Pre-ban, COLT mod 6651 or was it 6551? You know......the Govt mod.

I think the Colt R6550 Gov't Model was about as close as Colt got to the M16A2 in semi-auto. I believe, however, that it still had the large front "screw/sleeve" pivot pin. I've been searching for a NIB example of one of those for a while now. Similar to a R6600 if I'm not mistaken but with a standard barrel contour.

Ahhh, many thanks Troy. I'd asked Bushmaster about 1:7 barrels via email a week ago and was still waiting for a response. |

Bushmaster pre or post is a good choice for a close as possible match to the M16A2 service rifle.
