I have 2x M16A1 and XM177E1 with Vietnam War. I would like to check their history (date of production, for which the unit got  it, when and where American soldiers have lost them). Where can I check it through the serial number?

Thanks

I'm 99% sure Colt's can't/won't supply any info about Gov't weapons. even if they could they (Colt) would have no way to pin down units, etc.
To get a VERY rough basic idea of manufacture date, check  this stickied above thread.
The  link posted above is iffy at best, it doesn't have a couple of my rifles in it.
