Not M16........M16A3.
I especially like how he mounted the red dot sight. nice!

I bet some soldier got his ass reamed for that one.

better than that is that truly bitchen patch of summer sweater popping out from the top of that fine shirt hes wearing.  

Nice scope mount......hang him for that!

Damn military. Just leaving loaded assault rifles all over the place where kids can find them.

That guy looks like he shaved his hairline.

Wow, just wow.

Nice red dot mounting style....but I guess that's the least of his worries.

YOU ARE SHOOTING HIGH!!!!  

That will most certainly land you in Federal "Pound Me in the Ass" Prison.  

Wonder what happened to the poor bastage that lost it.  

interesting...

I wonder if he knows PVT "I lost my weapon"

What makes it an M16A3 as opposed to an A2?

It is an A2, it's burst not auto.  

 What a fool That guy is Bubba bait now.

Well of all the luck. I drive by Haystack Res all the time and I never see any M-16s laying around up there.

NMSight

He's gonna get felon in possesion of a firearm also, at least thats what the little bird told me.

Hmmmm....  Maybe this should be linked to the "Transporting a loaded rifle?"   thread...  Maybe Mr. Crozer can give us some input....  Course we have to wait until he be gettin his internet privileges so he can hook up here...

Your little bird friend is most likely correct, our pal Dan Crozer seems as though he has been around the track a time or two as indicated by not looking directly at the camera.

Woundn't a removable carry handle (A3) have something to do with it?

In any event, I think this guy is in trouble.  I too wonder if the soldier knew this guy.

flat tops are m16a4 and M4's.

A2's are burst, A3's are full
