Those are good looking rifles. Enjoy it, I really like the fact that FN decided to make these.
I have only fondled the FN M4(civilian version). If the M16 clone is built as good, and I am sure it is, you will be a happy camper.
That's one rifle on my wish list. Nice choice.
OP
Im not an M4 guy, never have been, my last issue rifle was a Colt M4 back in 2009, and in the MP unit I was in previous to that we had FN M16A2's and I wouldve traded the M4 everyday for that A2 lol
OP
Is what it is, was issued the A2 in the Marine Corps, was used to it, went to the guard had the A2 as an MP, then re-classed as field artillery and got the M4, just didnt ever really get accustomed to it.11B CIB said:
I love the looks of the 20" AR's. I really love the old slickside M-16's with triangle handguards. I grew up seeing that rifle on tv, to me it was a thing of beauty.
I have built a replica of all the different models that where ever issued and one of the new M16A4. I have a M16A2 with M203 replica at the shop if it was here I would post it but it isn't.

Heck your right. I hadn't even noticed the absense of the shell deflector on the lower one. I built them at different times the lower one came after the A1 and with both of them I was having trouble finding A1 uppers. No one produces them anymore that I could find besides Nodak. Good catch on that , I guess I know what I will be doing sunday.
Other then the "cool" factor, whats the draw?

Cool factor, mostly. I handled a used one at a Fayetteville gun show last year. Guy was walking around with it. Coulda had it for a few hundred under new. It is a really neat gun, and if you like that configuration, it would be hard to find a better quality piece. I imagine it might appeal to Marines who carry/carried one.
OP
Familiarity, have carried an AR in some fashion for the last twenty years, either in a military capacity or as an L.E.O. COOL FACTOR is strictly secondary
Ok here is the picture of the M16A2 with M203 clone I promised.
