It is the Brownell’s semi-auto replica of the M16A1 like I carried as a young enlisted guy and young LT in the 1970’s. I bought an Anderson lower and CCMG parts kit two months ago to get started building one. What I have found is that due to the current riots all over America, all the manufacturers are on long term back order. I need the upper (have the buttstock and complete lower parts) but Windham Weaponry, Palmetto Arms, and Brownells are out of stock on 20”barreled uppers with the Machined in carrying handle and A1 style rear and front sites. Guess I’m going to have to be patient and wait it out. Good part is once found I can mail order a complete upper without the FFL involvement. OH
Ps. Colt is back producing and selling exact copies of Vietnam era M16 and M16A1 replicas, but they run $2500.00 each. I found one of each but passed!

I'm old fashion I guess and prefer older more conventional style guns. To make BB and pellet guns to look like real ones is extremely dangerous especially when in the hands of children. Today's nerve frazzled LEO's see somone with this type of gun shoot first and ask questions later. I strongly believe that these types of weapons be made to be identified quickly as BB guns in order to keep a child from being shot. ftd

Not true.
I simply use mine for target shooting. I don't even hunt.

You seem to be responsible with your use of you gun. But what I was referring to was young children altering the looks to look real, at a distance to LEO's they look real and will respond sometimes with deadly force. The best example was a black child in Cleveland pointing a BB gun at police and being shot dead. These types of weapons need to be made to be distinguished from real weapons. This is my opnion and I'm sticking to it. ftd

Some how I had traded for a Marlin 60, I think they were relatively new back then, for a Winchester 67 Boy's Rifle. I took a lot of ribbing because of that trade. Why would you trade an "automatic" for a single shot? Etc...The 60 was a great little rifle but the Boy's Rifle was a prize! One of my better trades.
