Colt "C M" markings on the upper: http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff502/augeekim/DC310223-65CB-419B-AA2D-D8860E6DEADA-12171-00000B4E5F494165_zps06ff297d.jpg It's hard to see here, but the proper barrel markings: http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff502/augeekim/0E6565D1-362C-403B-9CD5-BE9D2DA1C666-12171-00000B4E641A131B_zpsc0fcd334.jpg Also visible, and much more clearly is the totally, heinously, and terribly wrong crush washer that I need to replace with a peel washer. Please accept my apologies. The sling is a standard USGI silent sling installed with a USGI top sling adapter, using the wire loop for the FSB and the strap for the stock. I'm considering replacing the stock adapter with the simpler, more common, and frankly, more functional 550 cord and 100MPH tape "adapter." Front loop: http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff502/augeekim/1EC26A05-A2A4-407E-93D3-706A2499AC97-12171-00000B4E7680D54B_zps61eed52e.jpg Stock adapter, also visible is the blue paint pen rack number, "132": http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff502/augeekim/126BFCF8-FB83-4A94-B7A6-AB6C9E177056-12171-00000B4E70E84E8B_zps520c1aa1.jpg I eventually would like to have Ident or someone similar engrave the NDS-A1 lower receiver as an early Colt M16A1, marked both "AR15" and "M16A1," then use a stamp kit and overstamp the "1" in "M16A1" with a crooked "2," and "X" out the "AUTO" marking and stamp "BURST" as well as engraving the right side selector markings, and stamp "A N A D" rebuild markings on the right side of the mag well so the whole rifle will look like an Army rebuild. The only other change to be made besides the peel washer is to find an ANAD rebuild-style selector/safety with the raised "notch" to install in place of the Colt "no tick" selector that's currently installed. She may be old-school, but she's still a great rifle and a lot of fun to shoot, and I still break in beginners on her, and she gets fired more than my M16A4 and XM16E1 clone combined, and is my current "iron sights trainer" mule that I shoot with when I want to return to the basics and fundamentals and shoot open sights, which I cycle through my training routines. Run and gun and drills are all well and good, but it's important to return to the fundamentals once in a while, and the A2 is usually what I do it with! ~Augee View Quote |

Don't remember if I posted this M16A2 that I used in Balad Iraq 05-06'. My rifle rack behind my desk. We had a 485 yd KD range on our compound where I used the A2 to get ready for the All Army Match at Ft Benning when I returned in 06'. Ammo in magazine is Mk262.

We got to play around with them after they were converted to M4A1 configuration, and it was a revolution in our affairs. I'm seriously considering a clone build of the Anniston rebuild in this photo. I like the mix and match of black and grey components. I'm actually collecting up parts to build clones of every rifle I was issued over the last 16 years. Two M4 carbines, two M16A2s and an M4A1, plus an Aero Precision 10.5" carbine from my DOS contract training cycle. It'll be a fun project to complete them all. |

View Quote I have many thousands more photos saved on CDs, all from the "glory days" of GWOT mobilization at Camp Shelby. I've got pics of units from every branch and all corners of the country. I might very well be the only person on the planet with this photo collection, as all the hard drives, CDs, floppies and hard copy prints disappeared after we closed down the PAO shop in 2013. I don't have any idea what happened to all that stuff, which is why I went through and copied every file, every photo and scavenged up all the old hard copy stuff I could find before we shut down. I thought about offering the stuff up to the Armed Forces Museum on Camp Shelby, but I doubt this stuff would ever see the light of day again. I might try contacting the Army Center for Military History and see if they'd be interested. |
