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. Fitted with an aftermarket, non-rotating hammer trigger pin set (visible on the sides of the receiver). Includes an extra Aero upper assembly fitted with a Samson Mfg. Corp. Evolution Series rail, 18 inch fluted barrel, Samson Mfg. Corp. muzzle brake, Badger Ordnance charging handle, and bolt assembly (unknown make). Also includes five extra PMAG magazines (four 30-round, one 40-round).

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 95% plus original matte black phosphate finish with some finish wear along the top left edge of the carrying handle, the replacement upper a shade off in color from the lower, and some light handling marks. The furniture is also excellent with a few light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The extra upper is very fine.

Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
