[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need help finding GOOD A1 furniture

Posted: 9/8/2004 2:05:43 PM EDT

Hey guys, I am in the process of building my M16A1 clone, and I am having a bit of trouble locating a set of furniture for it that is in good shape. Obviously, I'd like to get the best stuff possible, any hints on where to look?

Thanks,
Scott

I'd like to find a NOS set as well.

Good buttstocks and hand grips are fairly easy to locate. The triangle handguards can be a bit of a bitch to find in good shape though.

In fact I've got a spare of each of the A1 type buttstocks, and a couple of essentially new handgrips. The butts are free of any dings, cracks or gouges. Just a rub mark here and there from handling. If either of you are interested, let me know by e mail

There's only one variant of the M16A1 buttstock I'm aware of. Has the butt trap. What M16A1 stock do you have that's different?

One early type w/o the butt trap, and one late type w/the butt trap.

You didn't know this was a trick question?

Unfortunately the photo shows an XM16 or XM16E1 buttstock, not a M16A1.

M16A1 was not the first production model of this rifle. Butt trap was one of several modifications made to the rifle to make it the M16A1.
