Vietnam Era Semi-auto M16 USGI Parts Kit Build on Nodak Spud Receiver

Yes this is three years ago… still have this ? Very nice job putting this together… looks awesome

I saw an M16a1 upper that has "S K" where yours is marked "C H." Is this still a Colt marking?

Looks like an A2 stock.

It's a sweet shooter, isn't it? It's not just Vietnam era though, I carried an A1 into the 1990s, while I was in the Army. The channel image of myself that I use, is me in 1990 in fact. I'm holding an A1 with an M-203 attached.

Ok so when a person takes the time to buy all the proper parts to build the era correct m16 a1 rifle and the tools to build it with oh yeah and your time to do it  You'll still wind up spending around $1000 bucks or better and it still won't be 100% mil spec  !!!!

Wow……this is the first time I have seen someone actually get a AR-15A1 repro build spot on.
I saw one guy who came close but he had 3 prong flash hider, which was appropriate to the
M-16 and the XM-16E1, instead of the correct bird cage flash hider with all open slots.

Aside from not being dark grey in color I would say it was very much like the M-16A1 I used in the US Army in 70's and 80's

Well done sir.

Once again what is your source for a parts kit?

nice video where you get the Vietnam era AR parts kit it looks cool

great

why someone like bushmaster doesn't make a clone m-16-a1 semi is behond me, I know i would buy one in a heart beat.

Very nice build!!!!!

great video…do you have any updated sources for a parts kit? Jim

Nice job. Great looking weapon. Don't know if you remember the original flash suppressors were 3 pronged and had no ring connecting them together around the end of the barrel. Besides the barrel getting caught on things we used the suppressors to open wooden gun and ammo crates by sliding them onto the steel bands and turning our rifles to snap the steel bands off, lol. Hey, that's what we were taught. Of course we had full auto so accuracy wasn't a real concern back then. Boy would I love to have one of those original M-16's. Sure wouldn't open crates with them now, lol. Hey man great video. Thank you and congrats.

Cool video but a freindly reminder..Like my Drill Sergeant always screamed at the other guys for..FINGERS OFF THE TRIGGER!!Nice build,did the same a few years back with a kit made of Colt and GM parts.

Ha ha with no brass deflector ejection is pretty different. That was funny.

We're did you get all the parts?

Where did you get your bronze/golden ar-15 magazine? Or, if you made it, how did you do it?

Nice Job !

Thanks for the business.
