The M16A2 was not around during the Vietnam war. I do know M16A1 parts kits are available for $499. That is every piece except the lower receiver.Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

The mid '80s.Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life.

The product improvement M16A1E1 was officially type classified as the M16A2 in September 1982 and adopted as standard in November 1983."Bruen, the Bruen opinion, I believe, discarded the intermediate scrutiny test that I also thought was not very useful; and has, instead, replaced it with a text history and tradition test."

Which means the troops didn't see it until the 90's.
We were still qualifying on the 1911, and M14 in the mid 90's years after the M9, M16's were adopted.
So the real question is, what shape is it in, is it a complete upper, with barrel/bcg/handguards.
The M16A1 kits that recently hit the market were like NEW, came with a new in white barrel from Citidel and the rest were colt parts. The kits were right at $500, and even included a "new style M7" colt bayonet.Comment

I would say around $400-$450 would be fair if the barrel is relatively unused.Last edited by xm177; 02-14-2011, 5:08 PM.The Model 610 was classified as the XM177[3] but adopted by the Air Force as the GAU-5/A Submachine Gun (GAU = Gun, Aircraft, Unit.) The Army purchased 2,815 Model 609 CAR-15 Commandos on June 28, 1966, which were officially designated Submachine Gun, 5.56 mm, XM177E1. - WikipediaComment
