I had several M-16s cycle through my hands. The first was a Colt rifle that shattered the chromed bolt carrier. That was a show-stopper. I had a GM Hydramatic Division one that was accurate as hell and I even got hauled in for shooting sand lizards at 100+ meters at the Phu Bai ammo dump. No sense of humor... The pile of lizard carcasses removed any hope of denial. I switched units 3 times and each time a new- to - me rifle. Zero at a range? LOL

The CAR -15 I ended up with the last 6 months was a shooter with the short barrel. I took it to the garbage pit and whacked a few cans at 25 yards and called it good. Then burned through 4 or 5 mags at full auto to make sure it would shoot reliably. 4 moa isn't such a bad thing if you are shooting a fair sized targets at close range. Happy Trails
