That's a very nice AR. Great piece of history.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

It came with this Tasco scope that I'm pretty sure is period correct. I've been told that the 1/14 twist M16 barrels were used before the 1/12 twist barrels. The smaller Colt scope is from a 1974 Ar that I have. [img:center] ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa430/vette205/AR%2015/AR15009.jpg) [/img]
Don't mess with me, I'm too old to fight, too fat to run, so I going to have to kill you.

They started with 1/14 twisted barrels but it was found that in colder climates, the twist was too slow so it was changed to 1/12 on the M16's. I guess Colt used up their inventory on commercial guns?
You know it had to work from -40 - 140 degrees...
