Been thinking and talking about doing a 16A1 retro build for several years, funny how when you get closer to the ride being over how you want to reconnect with a rifle that at one time 1970-72 you were sick of,, receiver showed up at my FFL yesterday i put it all together today, turned out nice, ive got many AR15s just wanted the 16A1

Nice Mike!I am not an AR type guy,but I'd love to have a retro A1.

Nice Dep, those M16A1 Uppers are getting real hard to find. Wish I would have hung onto the last few I let go

Lovely Deputy, you did real good bro.
The A1 is the only REAL one to me.

That looks great! What would be the proper sling for it, black nylon?
