Description:

Manufactured as part of the "8 million" commercial serial range, this M16A2-marked selective fire rifle is equipped with a Laser Products helium-neon laser sight. Today known as SureFire, Laser Products was founded in the 1970s and was the first firm to bring a practical laser aiming device to the market. The sight is about 12 inches long, with a flip-off aperture cover and multiple warning labels about the extremely dangerous laser beam (no comment about what comes out of the other nearby aperture), mounted to the underside of the barrel with a Weaver-style rail adapter that attaches to the flash hider in the front and the bayonet lug at the rear, with a remote line that runs back and mounts on the right side of the pistol grip with velcro. Externally, the overall configuration follows the A2 pattern, with a "C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7" barrel, vented round handguard, "C/H" marked upper receiver with teardrop forward assist and short casing deflector, "M16A2" marked lower receiver with fenced mag catch and "SAFE/SEMI/BURST" marked right handed selector, checkered grip, and a two-position telescoping buttstock. A Colt-branded 4x scope is installed on the carry handle. Internally, the trigger mechanism is configured for semi-automatic and full automatic fire, with no provision for burst firing, matte black finished bolt group, and one-piece buffer. Included with the rifle is a Weatherby-brand plastic case, BMF Activator spring-loaded bipod, and an extra magazine.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with original finish, showing light handling marks overall. The furniture is in equal condition, the scope is very fine with a damaged removable aftermarket lens cap and minor spotting, and the laser sight is untested. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
