M16A1 Clone Build
She turned out very nice.
Fulton Armory (NDS) upper. Brownell's 1/7 retro barrel assembly. Surplus -A1 pistol grip and handguards.
Anderson lower(May swap out with Brownell's retro lower in future, or not)
-A2 Stock: Like the longer LOP.
Also put a Geissele G2S Trigger in. Why? Because it was there.Last edited by Berks_Iraq_Vet; October 27th, 2017 at 06:45 AM. Reason: Fix Error
A Republic, if you can keep it.

Re: M16A1 Clone Build
Is it true that the original GI issued scopes were made in china?

Re: M16A1 Clone Build
The original Colt scopes for the AR15/M16 were 3x20 marked Colt (engraved) made in USA, these were made for Colt by Realist, Colt then contracted them to a Company in Japan (believe it was Hakko) these were 3x20 marked Colt (painted), there are/were also copies made in China, the original Realist mfg scopes are tough to get & can bring $300-500, the Japanese mfg (but real Colt contract scopes) are also popular & can bring $250-400
I have two of the late 3x20's, they are well made, bright and clear and the BDC turret works as it should

Re: M16A1 Clone Build
Very nice. Mine is on an Anderson lower too. For a while I was looking for an original A1 upper but gave up and used an A2 I already had. I used a Brownells product called AllumiHyde Dark Parkerizing Gray to try to mimic the original color but to me it came out greenish. I think what I was expecting was for the upper and lower color to look like the delta ring. Even so, I get more interest in this rifle at the range than I do with my SBR or anything in between. Yours looks great, enjoy it, they shout great.
