Got any service rifle clones?

[wired]

I put a copy of my service rifle together . Some people like to do their basic training rifle. Mine was an M16A1 Hydramatic that had been rode hard and put away wet. When I got to my first unit I got another Hydramatic but soon after we swapped A2 uppers onto them and A2 buttstocks and thats what I had for the next few years. This build is still a work in progress. I never had or saw an M9 Bayonet and need to pick up an M7 and under the handguards is a heavy barrel but its pretty close to ol betsy. Need a black sling too. I do have a few OKAY industries aluminum mags on order.

I got rid of my A2 service rifle last year. Shot irons for a loooooong time with that gun.

...but have a long range project to build an A4 clone.

I guess I need to pick up one of those M16A4 Aero lowers!

Keep an eye on the PSA stuff. They’re doing a much better clone job than most everybody else.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered one. $49 . Hard to beat.

You ordered the A2, right? The A4 isn’t available yet, as far as I know.

We built my son his first one using the M4A1 Carbine version, as the M4 wAs the only think he recognized from Fortnight.

Yeah. I'm old. We don't even have A4s when I was in much less M4s

I've got a PSA clone lower on my M4A1 URG 10.3" pistol, built a M16A4 clone rifle but now need to order their A4 clone lower. Did order a M16A2 clone lower around Christmas and that's another project. Just got the 20" A2 barrel and need to order a A2 upper and stock. I'm going to be seriously hurt if PSA comes out with a M203!

And the results are in with the M16A2 receiver . Transferred to me as such. Says so right on the side. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

My wife and I have S&W M&P-15's, which are basically high capacity military assault rifles which fire depleted uranium armor piercing, heat seeking, incendiary, explody bullets.

They make awesome squirrel guns.
