There's a seller on GunBroker selling a lot of 15 large-round forward assist buttons.
I've long wanted one because I remembered the tank's issue M16A2 having this feature.
Before I spent the money on having 14 extra forward assists, I decided to see if anyone had bothered to document the serial number range for this early feature.
S/N 860,000 to 1,200,000 is the expected range according to the AI helper on the search engine.
My M16A2's serial number was 6,300,574, apparently, well past when they changed to the current small-round forward assist.
HOWEVER!
The first M16A2's start at 6,000,000!
Others have found that the large round lasted to 6,280,000; which also places my rifle just outside the range of the early feature.
The last colt M16A2 (or XM4) is (approximately) 6,590,478.
FN M16A2's run is 7,000,000 to 7,429,766.
At least for US Property marked guns. Other serial number ranges for M16A2 are around for export usage.
