A Gift For My Father In Law

Bubba was in the Navy during the Vietnam war. We don't know any more than that. We don't even know if he was anywhere near Vietnam. He doesn't talk about it, so we sort of assume he was.

To honor his service, I've made a Nam era M16A1 clone. This would be an early production version as can be seen from the buttstock's lack of a trap for the cleaning kit and the birdcage flash-hider.




Cat tested, Licorice approved!

The upper receiver (less bolt group), pistol grip and buttsock are vintage. The rest is Anvil Arms.
