Wait a sec I thought all military M16A2s had a 1/7 twist?

right, but the hammer, selector and disconnector are there. we have discussed it in the past, look at their other kits, they show the different parts, the hammer with the hook, disconnector w/ tail etc. if memory serves, they will remove toss parts before they ship if you ask, and you can replace them with your own, I am unclear if the will substitue though

Wait a sec, I thought its okay to have M16 parts as long as you dont have the other parts that can make the make the rifle fire auto? What do you mean hammer with hook and disconnector with tail? The 2nd set of pics is the one I have on mine.

notice the difference in the hammer, disconnector, selector, between the 2, your is good to go. and no, you cannot have any of the m16 fire/trigger group. a bolt carrier is good to go however

Is it a big disadvantage to have the 1/9 twist instead of the 1/7 twist?
Anybody knows up to what round the 1/9 twist shoots fine?

thanks

1/9 is good up to 62 grain.

Ordered a kit last week and it arrived on the 24th. While the parts are in generally good shape they are definitely surplus--hanguards, BCG, gas tube and most other parts show signs of use. Gas tube and firing pin still had carbon on them and handguards had some mud/dirt inside.

Stripped upper was nice and clean-no signs of wear except what might have come from storage. Barrel assembly is new.

All-in-all a good deal for the money, I think, but I'll let you know if I have any issues during assembly. After I bought a stripped lower I'm in to this for less than $600.

Got mine a couple weeks ago. Not assembled yet. Hammer spring missing and hand guards cracked. Parts on the way. Barrel is marked DSC 5.56 Nato 1-9. Cant wait to shoot it. Mine had mud in the buttstock. A very cool G.I. parts kit.
