That’s pretty badass right there.

Tempting. I’m not a big AR15 guy at all, but that’s “different” enough to peak my interest.

I love the early AR/M16 platform. Those top charging models from Brownell's are very cool. I may need to get one for myself. The M16A1 was my first issue weapon in Basic Training, so I built myself a tribute gun a while back when parts kits were still available.

The parts kit was from an unissued M16A1 made in 1979 minus barrel. I added a NOS barrel and Nodak Spud retro lower. It runs and looks awesome.
