ARts And Crafts

Took my shattered remnants of the M16A1 lower receivers and made a key fob.


The 9,xxx,xxx serials supposedly indicate they were destined to be military assistance.  These rifles probably were never issued and were likely destroyed for a lack of customers.

You can't expect law enforcement to pay for a rifle when they can nab an ex-Army one for free.  The A1 isn't stylish enough to market at foreign customers and The Hughes Amendment to the FOPA eliminates nearly all domestic interest...

What's left but to scrap them?

The saddest part is the entire gun was likely tossed into the shredder whole.  There are people who will pay good money for those retro parts, and our government policy is to shun that money.
