Here's my answer to Nancy Pelosi. I'm pending on an M16A1 with Ruben Mendiola and should have it by mid-summer if all goes well.
In the meantime, I've been gathering up a few accessories. Hedging my bet on high-cap magazines, I've bought a few dozen.
And uppers. . . . . . .
What is it they say? The AR platform is Legos for grown men!
The top is an original M16A1 upper with the standard 5.56mm 20" barrel and triangular handguard which dates to 1970's or early 1980's. It's new and unused. The one to come on the M16A1 will be just like this. I'll put the mileage on this one.
The middle is an M16A2 "Commando" upper. It has a 5.56mm 11-1/2" barrel. A mean little piece of equipment.
The bottom is the 9mm Submachine Gun upper. It has a 10-1/2" barrel in 9mm Luger. It has a Knights Armament rail handguard that the guy spray painted gray in anticipation of taking it to Afghanistan. He didn't take it, so it is new condition. I'll wash the gray paint off with solvent once the weather outside gets pleasant. There's no paint on the upper itself. I also have the standard M4 carbine handguards. This assembly is going to be fun and probably will get more use than any.
I've gone nuts!!
