Then read them here
M16A2:

www.mcdl.org/Manuals/Manuals/Specifications/Mil-C-70599A%20m4milspec.pdfM4A1:
www.mcdl.org/Manuals/Manuals/Specifications/Mil-C-71186%20m4a1milspec.pdfFor an M16A2 (or A1) its 20", for the M4 its 14.5" (add 1" when you add the flash supressor).
Front line rifle can be M16A2 or M4 depending on which unit you are in.
1:7 for M16A2's and M4s
Front Line units are A2 or M4. Only reserve components (i.e. Guard /Reserve) are likely to have the 1:12 twist A1 rifles. Perhaps some active duty service support units may also still have their A1 rifles.
Military triggers are single stage. Only the Match guys use two stage triggers (probably because the M1s and M14s they used to shoot had two stage triggers).
All military rifles are 4150 Chrome/Moly with a chrome lining.
With one exception: The SPR (Special Purpose Rifle), a sniper type M16, uses a Stainless steel barrel for optimum accuraccy.
None of the above. Standard A2 & M4 barrels are 'light' under the handguards and a 'medium weight' (.72") from the front sight to the threaded section of the muzzle.
A1 barrels are 'light' and are .60" under the handguards down to .57" near the muzzle. The A2 & M4 are a few thousand's thicker under the handguards than the A1 IIRC.
BTW the SPR is fluted IIRC.
dont know if im forgetting what else

Stock? Then again since they are A2 rifles they will have A2 stocks. Even many of the A1 rifles now sport A2 stocks as its the only part in inventory for replacement. M4s can have either the orginal CAR style telestock or the newer Colt version (most have the older version).
