I built my own about 5-6 years ago. At the beginning of the year I sold it to my best friend in TX. I couldn't afford the darn ACOG that is calibrated for the 20" bbl. rifle!
I hope what the Colt rep stated actually happens end of this year, or they will miss their 50th anniversary of their first M16 sold to the US military.
Colt did not have a close enough clone of their M16A2 so I made it myself with all Colt parts, I got a new never issued USGI M16A2 upper half, found a stripped take-off Match Target HBAR lower receiver from my local gun store, then I ordered a lower parts kit and new take-off M16A2 fixed buttstock kit, I like the way it handles better than my former A2 HBAR rifle.
But I need an AR15A4 so I could use optics, my eyes are not as good now as when I was younger shooting my previous SP1, Sporter II, and A2 HBAR rifles with iron sights.
