FN got their first contract for A2s in 1988 and have supplied more M16s since then than Colt. There are examples in a sticky at the top of this forum.

Do you know when the black color came in? I have an F marked upper that is clearly black but has a raised keyhole mark next to the F. Is there use date for the different codes?
Thanks, Ralph |
