God bless America 🇺🇸
Lots of folks feel this is what an A2 should have been…Canada’s C7 was similar.
O m16 é o rifle mais bonito na minha opinião

I love my guns, but my 🇺🇲 AR15 🇺🇲 is my favorite.
I own a post-ban one (Sporter Target Model) and it's my favorite firearm. Got it for half of what they're worth now.
Even though I also have a carbine AR, I prefer the 20" barrel. So accurate and well balanced.
Brings me back to when I was serving in the Army. I don't think I could ever sell it.

Recently picked up one of these at a gun show, did not realise how much of a gold mine I was on until I saw all the features on it! It's even the same exact configuration! Nice video

*I see one Ar gun *
The reliability for the Ar gun: 📉
“Been confused my whole life” lmao thats so damn good my dad always jokes about the same shit. You rock man.
My AR is just like yours, got in 07, it's a A-2 and all Iron sights. love it. Just like what i had in Army, just semi
Great gun son of a gun😅
The A2s I used in the Corps had the adjustable drum rear sight, not that A1 style rear sight. Great rifles imo, my AR15A4 is definitely one of my favorites. I leave it in the A2 configuration, but I do have the A4 calibrated RCO and knights' armament quad rail accessible.
Superb piece of equipment ! 💪👍

Military maybe Vietnam service not unless it is full auto?? ?cleaning kit slot in stock. Love your channel and humor.
That ar looks really well made and like the finish and colours of it.
I like AR15s shaped like an M16 or M4 variant. I don't like all this modern, mlok/keymod stuff and Magpul furniture and I'm not a boomer; I'm only 26.
I had 2, HAD, sold em both🤪😢
Not a big fan of the A2, give me the A1 every day though.
sir, you re a great story teller
Its funny to me that everyone wants a 14.5" or 10.5" barrel AR. Having spent 20 yrs in the Marine Corps with the M16A2 the entire time a standard 16" barrel with the collapsible stock feels like an SBR Carbine to me. We did CQB/CQC (whatever we are calling it now) with the A2. Great rifle. Funny, when I saw the A1 sights I was wondering if you made a mistake…. No of course you didnt.
I love it!
I can remember buying my first AR in 1993 and the really really odd looks I got from people that knew I had. It was pretty strange to see people buying them in ‘93 I can only imagine what buying one in ‘83 would’ve been like. Good stuff
Hickok you're making me feel old I graduated high school in 83 40 years later yep I have a older AR but it is 10 years old
Isn't this an A1?
I've kept my A2 original also. It's the only AR I own that is in original configuration. Good to see you shooting yours. My first AR didn't even have the forward assist.
Bought my first Norinco for $179
Where are all the old targets. You should have a give away with your signature on em. Would love to shoot the same steal as the legend.
I hope you're not on any watch list since you've got that "evil black rifle".
That looks like an A1 to me. Ah now it makes sense
I love this rifle. AR15 ist awesome. Best regards from Germany 🙂
😂 " What hasn't been shot?" And you wonder why people look at you funny??
🤣 I enjoy that they look at me funny.
I really like that sling.. as issued. That upper spits brass directly into a left-handed shooter's face.. without a brass deflector 😎
It´s a classic !!!….thank you hickok 45 and thanks on Eugene Stoner …great ! M16A2
I want a carry handle upper so bad! I just have the are on carry handles. I hope I get to own one some day. Awesome video guys!
Best AR ever made in my opinion!! Colt still makes it
I’m about ten years younger than you, and 40 years ago I didn’t own an AR nor could even afford one, but I was exposed to the venerable M-16A1 as an Army ROTC cadet. At ROTC summer camp I think I qualified Sharpshooter.
I went on carry an M-16A1 for a good portion of my four year stint as a lieutenant in the 4th ID after graduating college. On my final qualification I got Expert.
The other day I celebrated my mere 2nd anniversary of taking delivery of my own AR-15. I find it amusing that both you and I keep track of the “birthdays” of our firearms..so I guess I’m not the only lunatic! 😀
When I started getting into owning military-style semiautomatic rifles, I was an “AK guy”, but the Russian ammo ban made me consider the usefulness of diversification of calibers. And just as I would never get a 7.62x39mm AR, I sure as heck would not get a 5.56 AK…so my AR turned out to be somewhat similar to yours here in this video. I got me a Windham Weaponry (now very sadly out of business) “Government Model A1”…basically my old service rifle with some more current performance enhancements thrown in: A1 hand guards, flash suppressor, rear sight, pistol grip, teardrop forward assist; A2 front sight, receiver (apart from pistol grip and rear sight) w/brass deflector, stock, barrel, plus M4 feed ramp. Having carried an M-16A1 in the army the 20” barrel was and is not cumbersome for me at all, and it is faithful to the original design and philosophy of Mr. Stoner; it certainly delivers optimal ballistic performance with any ammo I choose to run.
I guess 40 years ago was the beginning of the end of a decades long period in which the M-1 Carbine served the same market that the AR does today. Seemed like back then anyone who was into the shooting sports had an M-1 Carbine; they were about as rare as air molecules and not much more expensive.
When I hit 40 years of ownership with my AR, I’ll literally be 100. Hope I make it…hope you do too, Hickok…till 120!
THIS IS "AMERICA'S RIFLE"!
Great video!
He got AIMBOT
20 inch is the master race
