    M16 Clone Complete

    I finally completed my first build and I am really happy with how it turned out. It is starting out as an M16A3 then once I decide to buy the KAC M5 RAS it will become the M16A4 clone which I am ultimately going for.

    The PSA upper and RifleGear lower fit together like they were custom made for each other - no slop at all. The fit and finish of the RifleGear lower is excellent. It included an adjustment screw to take up any slack between the upper and lower but I didn't need it because the two parts fit together so nicely. I have to say that I have been quite impressed with the quality of both PSA's & RifleGear's products. Hopefully I'll have a chance to take it out to the range next weekend to see how it performs.

    Here are all of the parts that ordered over time just waiting to be assembled.


    And her she is all put together.


    Here are the specs:
    PSA 20" Upper with Government Profile FN Chrome Lined Barrel
    • 20" Barrel length
    • "Machine Gun Steel" barrel
    • 5.56 Nato Chamber
    • 1 in 7" twist rate
    • Extra-thick chrome-lined bore
    • M4 Feed ramps
    • F-Marked Front sight post
    • A2 Flash Hider
    • Sling Loop
    • Rifle Hand Guards w/ heat sheilds
    • Forged upper receiver
    • T-Marks
    • No logo


    PSA AR15/M16 7075 T6 Forged Mil-Spec Charging Handle
    Riflegear NiB BCG with F/A HP & MPI Tested
    PSA Mil-Spec 7075 T6 Forged Carry Handle
    RifleGear Aggressor Forged Stripped Lower Receiver
    PSA Classic ACT LPK
    Raddlock Bullet Button
    PSA A2 Rifle Stock Kit

    The only thing I am a little bummed about is that the barrel isn't stamped with the FN logo. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to see.

    These are nice scopes - ProStaff that is; not the Prostate.

      Wouldn't worry too much about the lack of fn logo. The rifle gear rollmark and safe, fire markings kind of throw it off anyways.

        Very nice. I am a big fan of "old school" and classic, so this is a beaut in my book.

              Laws against murder and attempted murder should have been the only gun control laws ever needed in America...

                That is a beautiful replica. The M16 is my personal dream gun, and I'm sure it's also the dream gun of many others...

                            Just curious but why doesn't it have the FN markings on the barrel if its an FN barrel? And that's is a nice clone.

                              Not uncommon for OEMs to leave their markings off their products. This enables them to sell at a low price to the reseller while keeping their brand equity intact.
