Colt M16 Selective Fire Rifle with XM177 Style Suppressor, Class III/NFA

A) Colt M16 Rifle in Model 649 Style Configuration, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Manufactured 1973-1982, this is a Colt M16 selective fire rifle upgraded to "Model 649" configuration. An evolution of the Model 607 "Commando", the 649 incorporated feedback from field testing, retaining the XM177 flash suppressor, while slightly extending the barrel to further limit noise and flash. Post front and two-leaf windage adjustable rear sights, "C MP C" marked barrel, ribbed round handguard, checkered pistol grip and two-position telescoping stock. The upper receiver has a short casing deflector and no forward assist, with "COLT/M16" markings on the left side of the magazine well and Colt's Firearms Division address on the left just ahead of the auto sear pin hole. The bolt carrier is serrated for a forward assist, with an "MP" marked and phosphate finished bolt head. With soft case.

ConditionExcellent, with 97% plus matte gray phosphate finish, showing light handling marks and edge wear. The furniture is also excellent. 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.

B) Colt M16/XM177 Flash Suppressor, Class III/NFA Silencer

Developed in response to soldier feedback on the CAR-15/Model 607, the XM177 flash suppressor was intended to reduce the intense muzzle blast created by running 5.56mm rifle ammunition through a short barrel, as well as provide additional back pressure to assure function of the gas mechanism. Overall length is about 4 1/2 inches, with laser engraved markings on the side and an integral "birdcage" flash hider at the end. Internally, a short segment of perforated tubing vents into a small internal expansion chamber; it is primarily this feature that makes it a silencer in the eyes of the BATFE.

ConditionExcellent, with 97% plus original matte gray finish, showing some mild handling marks and wear. NOTE: This Silencer 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, National Firearms Act.
