Colt M-16
I'm considering buying a Colt M-16 mfg'd by Umarex in .22 LR as a fun gun. Does anyone have any experience with this weapon?

Re: Colt M-16
Go here, "Colt" sub-forum on RFC. All rimfire, all the time...
http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums...splay.php?f=68
Lottsa talk about the "Colt" M4rgery there.
I couldn't find diddly-squat on the Umarex 20" "M16A2" anywhere on the 'net, good luck with your quest.All of my guns are lubed with BACON GREASE.

Re: Colt M-16
Ruger SR-22 is IMHO the best semi-auto .22 out there, try one you will see

Re: Colt M-16
Thanks for the feedback and recommendations. I'll check out the S&W and Ruger as well.

Re: Colt M-16
No personal experience but I have not heard much good about the Umarex rifle. The S&W I have heard a lot of great reviews. If you already have an AR you should also look into the .22 conversion bolts and .22 uppers such as those from Spikes.

Re: Colt M-16
THe gun is actually built by Walther in Germany, its a quality gun, a bit over engineered thus the high price.
One neat feature is a selector switch that allows you to switch between low pressure ammo and hot ammo , neat.
Its a future collector piece that will be talked about 20-30 years from now.

Re: Colt M-16
In about 10 years this gun is going to worth about $2000-$2500 , like i said , its way over engineered , like an Audi or BMW so you will have reliability issues.
Actually Umarex doesnt make anything, its a German export company, The Gun is made by 2 of the best names in the firearms business Walther and Colt.
If its just a Plinker you want there are othwer cheaper more rel;iable Guns e.g a Ruger 10/22.
