Catalog Page: 349
Class: Class III
Description:

This is an example of a very desirable original Colt Firearms Division commercially manufactured fully automatic M16 lower receiver. 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. To keep them separate and distinct from the military weapons, they were given their own special commercial serial number designation in the 9 million serial number range. It is fitted with a four-position telescoping buttstock and checkered pistol grip. The upper receiver and barrel are not included, and the magazine is absent.

Rating Definition:

Excellent as a complete lower receiver, retains 97% original matte black finish with some scattered light handling marks. The grip and stock are also excellent with minimal handling marks. Mechanically fine as a lower receiver. 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.
