This is an excellent example of a factory production fully transferable, fully automatic M16A1 rifle that was manufactured by the Colt Firearms Division. These original Colt fully automatic M16 series rifles are very desirable as they were produced exactly as their military counterpart using the same military grade, factory original parts. They were given their own special serial number designation in the 9 million range. This example was produced as a Colt M16A1 series with the forward assist and the two position flip rear sight. The barrel is stamped: "C MP CHROME BORE". The magazine well is marked "COLT/M16A1/CAL. 5.56 MM./983412" and "COLT FIREARMS DIVISION/COLT INDUSTRIES/HARTFORD CONN./U.S.A." next to the three-position "SAFE/SEMI/AUTO" selector. It is fitted with the original early style M16A1 triangular shaped plastic hand guards, pistol grip and buttstock with the storage compartment in the end. Magazine is absent.

Excellent with 98% of its original gray anodized finish overall with only minor edge and high spot wear with signs of light test firing. The plastic components are all in excellent condition. 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.
