I have a lot of history with the M16A2. Was issued one from '97 up until 2003 when the war created a boom in the firearms industry and we went through multiple upgraded models in just a few years.

Hope that you love it. I shot a few matches with my issued one when I was a young buck. Don't be fooled with just having iron sights, those things are freakishly accurate in the hands of a skilled marksman.

Good luck!
