Description:

Manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s, the 9 million range M16s were intended for commercial or export sale, but were made to the same military-grade specifications and quality requirements as Colt's domestic armed forces contracts. Adjustable pin front and two-leaf windage adjustable rear sights, with a bird cage flash hider on the "C MP CHROME BORE" marked barrel, bayonet lug, triangular handguard, low-profile casing deflector and oval forward assist on the upper receiver. The lower receiver is marked with the Rampant Colt logo above "COLT/M16A1" on the left side of the magazine well, a "fenced" magazine catch on the right, and a right-handed 3-position selector (SAFE/SEMI/AUTO). The full auto bolt carrier is "C" marked with proper serrations, with an "MPC" marked bolt head and a one-piece buffer. Synthetic triangular two-piece handguard, checkered pistol grip and fixed buttstock with trapdoor compartment containing a cleaning kit. Includes an olive drab green canvas web sling, nine extra magazines (seven 30-round, two 20-round), tool, three M16 manuals and one unrelated M1 Garand manual.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 98% plus original matte black phosphate finish with some light handling marks. The furniture is also excellent, with one minor hairline crack at the top edge of the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
