This is a Colt's M16A1 upper on a Colt's M6601 lower with a A1 buttstock assy, and grip. Upper, charging handle, lower, and delta ring were coated with Norrell's to match:

I did the same thing with a Bushy lower,BUT I went and put the no trap door stock and the 3 prong suppressor,yours looks better,though,I'll have to get the lower and upper to match.

Yep, 1/12. The Norrell's I used on this one is a special order custom color, Semi-Gloss Grayish Black Moly. Details on the color here: ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=214829&page=2 |

That is one sweet rifle.
+1 on the 1/12 twist? Does the A1 20" come in any other twist rate? I just noticed that you answered the twist rate Q. My bad. Happy New Year's. |

Yes, there is such a thing as a Colt's A1 profile barrel in 1/7. Not real common though.

So, does anybody know where I can get a M16 mount for my AN/PVS-2?

Many M16A1's did have a raised mag fence.

I missed that question, if there were any A1's without the mag fence, there sure were not very many of em. Only ones I ever saw were rebuilt Colt's XM16E1's. |

The only problem with his and mine are the A2 reinforcements on the lower.
 This is my Norel's Molyresin refinish of a Century CIA-15 rifle I did last weekend. I also put an A2 flash suppresor on it when I removed the muzzle brake on Sept 14th and it has no bayonet lug. I also had to replace the front swivel as it was always lacking the noise suppresive coating. So it is not an attempt as a pure A1 but just a lighweight functional rifle. The magazine is a refinished grey parkerized british steel magazine now with a green follower and a red extra strength spring from SAW. The recievers are grey-black and all the steel parts are SOCOM Black. Hard to see color difference due to the use of flash instead of an outside shot. |

Glad to hear that you got that done. That Norrell's is the stuff huh? Looks good, and am using a A2 lower on mine too. |

I did it with a Colt M16A1 upper and a RRA lower. The A2 features on the lower drove me crazy. What can I say? I wanted an A1 clone but couldn't live with the lie. I sold the upper and bought a Bushy M4 upper. Stangely, a phoney Rockmaster M4gery doesn't bother me a bit.

Except for removing the front site base and flash suppressor and stripping the pawl from the forward assist assembly, I stripped mine down to its tinest pins including the rear sight. I also removed the barrel from the reciever. This is the easiest way to make sure no oil weeps from any joints.
I let the barel soak in denatured EtOH in a wallpapar trough for a couple of days and washed everything else in soapy hot water. |

You almost deliberately have to fuck it up. It is the most foolproof stuff I have ever used. I had to deliberately make it run when I was praticing application. |

I strip mine down and clean with acetone, and bake any parts that might "bleed" before spraying. |

Yep, Norrell's is the best. Now don't make it sound to easy, then everyone will be doing it. |

HEY
For those of you looking for "correct" no reinforcment A1 lowers, I am looking to trade two PWAs (A1) lowers for LMT lowers. IPSC_GUY Back to your regular programing thread and sorry for the slight thread hijacking. Nice rigs by the way and Ekie I will look around for a PVS 2 mount for you |

No, that's cool, have thought about getting a early A1 lower for mine. I have a hard time going with non Colt's though, personal thing. Here is a shot of some AN-PVS-2's:

What are the differences between the A1 and A2 lowers? I wouldnt mind doing my own nostalgia rifle build. Is there a site that lists the characteristics of an A0, and A1 rifle?
|
|
|
|
Posted: 1/8/2005 7:40:19 PM EDT
[#46]
Functional yes, practical no.
Cool, can't wait.
Not sure about that, but I do like the stuff.
Compared to the A1 receiver, the A2 is beefed up around the receiver extension tube, and the front pivot pin. Web site, not that I am aware of. |

The A2 has reinforcements on the rear where the extension tube screws in and reinforcements at the two lugs the front take down pin engages.
