M16A4 clonish build or assembly LOL!
I decided to build another of these M16A4 type rifles because the AR parts are so cheap right now and i had a set of Knights Armament RAS M5 rails that i got over 5 years ago and i used this as an excuse Anyway here are the specs : The lower is an 80% lower that i finished and had an engraver slap on the Colt markings, the upper is a Spikes tactical, the bolt and carrier are USGI Colt slightly used that i also had kicking around, the barrel is a FAXON 20" nitride finished 1-8 twist govt profile that i have heard very good things about and an anxious to see what kind of accuracy i get from it.....I had to install the "F" marked FSB and the barrel steel was very difficult to drill so i had to finish the taper pin holes off with a diamond coated round file that i had.....The trigger is a milspec trigger and its bad.......heavy and gritty......if it doesn't smooth out with a little use im going to replace it with a spikes tactical battle trigger. The stock pouch is a London bridge trading that i got off ebay ..im a few small parts short but i ordered them and should have this assembled and test fired by next week...............I really like the accuracy, reliability and velocity of these A4's....I might get an Holosun chevron optic for this if it turns out to be a sweet shooter....this one will probably end up being my SHTF weapon if it shoots the way im hoping.

I wish I needed to build a few more ARs given the price of parts. Bolt carrier complete for $65 I'm seeing. Hard to pass up those kind of deals.

My last build I used a 18" Faxon barrel that AIM had on sale for something like $180.00. It came with the F marked FSP. Faxon and HMDefence and Anderson Rifles are located in Cincy area.
