Am I correct?Government A1 grip. I have seen more authentic M16A1 clones (and other models) built by individuals for way less money than the Colt M16A1 Reissue.I see little difference between it and the SP-1 civilian model, except for markings.

The Brownells BRN-16A1 Rifle replicates the iconic M16A1 rifle issued to thousands of US Soldiers, Marines, Sailors & Airmen. Roll marked Colt M16A1 Property of US Govt.There are a few differences between the SP1 and the M16A1, The front take down pin on the SP1 is a large pin with a slotted screw head where the M16's had the small push pin like todays AR15's.1967-1982.

And had no problem with the $2,500 tag. When I sold those last three the new buyers were very happy to get them. It will have its own following. And neither is this rifle for everybody.

Well the controversy never ended.I was issued the M16A1 during my military service and I have to admit I despised it when I first saw it. As one said another Zombie post brought up again. Get one of these and be happy again.Heck they can even buy a low cost S&W AR-15. On a personal point pull out of 4 hour BIG C surgery being told 50% might not make it. Or builds his own.If happy nothing else matters.

But, once they figured out I could shoot (and shoot really well) they issued me a 'good' one and it was incredibly reliable - I don't recall ever having a malfunction with it that was not dirt induced.If you were crawling through sand, etc with it, even with the dust cover closed the first thing you'd want to do with it was pop the rear pin, pull out the bolt carrier and wipe off any crud and wipe or blow any sand, etc out of the upper receiver. The second would not eject reliably. I was issued 3 in OCS alone, just because one had apparently bene used to open a crate and no longer had enough windage to bring the weapon to zero.
