We also traded for an old Colt M16. It is missing the charging handle, flash hider and washer.
This Rifle is serial # 9,04x,xxx. The original form 5 has an approval date of 7/76 The barrel is stamped – C MP CHROME BORE, So my question is, would the correct flash hider be a bird cage, with a split washer? When did they stop using the 3 prong? I can’t find any info on the charging handle, other than the one on the pre ’64 Armalite rifles. So, are they all the same? http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y504/Srt_Weapons_Works/DSCN5710Z_zpsc9f63f6d.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y504/Srt_Weapons_Works/COLTM-16_zpsd7e4f524.jpg |

correct flash hider would be the a1 birdcage. by the time the trapdoor stocks came around, the a1 birdcages were in use. with a split washer, or a crush washer? split. they went to peel washers and then crush washers with the A2s. i've never seen anything but a split on an A1. |

That upper and that lower did NOT leave the factory together.Surprised no one mentioned this. Lower is marked M16,the upper has the forward assist. The lower is a model 604 lower. Forward assist models will be marked either XM16E1,or, M16A1. Looks more like an "export" model M16A1 (sans Prop. Of US Govt. rollmarks). |

Forward assist models will be marked either XM16E1,or, M16A1. we got an AR15 M614, with a slick side upper from the same place, is it possible the uppers got switched? should the M614 have a forward assist upper? I read somewhere the 604 was produced for the USAF without a forward assist??? those pics are posted too |
