The M16 was adopted in 1964 during the Vietnam War to replace the heavier, more rugged M14 rifle. The improved XM16E1 based on the original M16 design was standardized as the M16A1.
Fully licensed by Colt and Cybergun, again adding to their collection of excellent replica period weaponry.
Exceptional construction quality, feeling solid in hand with dense polymer used for the handguard, pistol grip & fixed stock with high grade metals for the receiver, barrel & magazine.
Has all the M16A1 style furniture and features, a steel bird cage flash hider, A1 style nylon handguard with heat shields underneath, A1 style fixed carry handle with steel rear sight set, A1 style steel dust cover, tear-drop style forward assist, A1 style lower receiver, A1 style pistol grip and of course an M16A1 style buttstock.
Period correct, early styled deep engraved Colt markings on the receiver as well as on the bottom of the 20-round gas magazine that it comes with.
Uses the tried and tested VFC V3 M4 / AR 15 gas system with the updated valve knocker system and zinc bolt carrier.
The magazine holds 30 BBs and is a heavy, full metal construction complete with markings & plastic feed lips. Features bolt stop function & dry fire mode.
Magazines compatible with standard VFC M4 / AR-15 Series V3 Gas System.
On standard 135PSI green gas, the rifle kicks incredibly hard, notably more than the Marui GBBR series, adding to the shooting experience.
Adjustable hop is located by popping off a panel of the polymer handguard, safely out of the way to avoid accidental adjustment.
