Description:

Manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s, the 9 million range M16s were intended for commercial or export sale, but were made to the same military-grade specifications and quality requirements as Colt's domestic armed forces contracts. Post front and two-leaf windage adjustable rear sights, with a bird cage flash hider on the "C MP CHROME BORE" marked barrel. The upper receiver is fitted with an extended and serrated forward assist and a short casing deflector, with the Rampant Colt and model markings on the left side of the magazine well and a right-handed three-position selector (SAFE/SEMI/AUTO). Fitted with a vented triangular handguard, checkered pistol grip and a fixed buttstock with cleaning gear in the buttplate. Also included with the lot are seventeen extra magazines.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 98% plus original matte black finish, with mild edge wear and handling marks concentrated on the lower receiver. The stock is also excellent, with some light scratching. The seventeen magazines are of mixed condition and manufacturers, with some having been painted and two equipped with "ranger" style improvised pull tabs. 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 478.
