So after having brought them out for routine maintenance, I decided to snap some quick pictures of some of my rifles for you guys:

So, enjoy, and feel free to ask questions.

You know, there are certain times where I just feel like yelling at LavaRed "Dude! We get it! You have cooler guns than us".


This is not one of those times, nice collection, sir.

How old is that M16?

I really think it's time to get a 40mm ;) .

Remember we're still waiting for pics of the really cool stuff!

Yeah, when he said "big boys" I figured its Lava, he means the BIIIG BOYS.

Looks like a standard M16A1. Late sixties to early eighties.

Is it a finicky early one?

No, it doesn't jam, and it has the bolt forward assist. My guess is it was made between 1967 and 1970.
At any rate, it was pretty banged up outside, but the internals were brand new, unfired. There was no wear at all inside before we shot it, and very slight wear after.

it's a colt AR-15 sp1 (service production 1)
it is on of the first civilan ar-15 relased witch is why it has the foreword assist but the older style hand gards and stalk
i own on witch i why i know

No dude that is a M16. It is full auto. Lke he said it was from vietnam not a civ rifle. The ar15 sp1 was a SEMI ATUO rifle. What lavard has is a FULL AUTO select fire m16.

I'd show you fellas my bazooka but I lost my camera.

I have one of those too, which seems to be even earlier than the M16, since it is slabsided and lacks the forward bolt assist.
The M16 has the following on the side:

The Colt logo and COLT AR-15
PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT.
M16A1
CAL 5.56 MM.
Serial No.

I don't know if it can be seen on the pics, but on high res pics you can see all of this, plus the 3 position selector switch, methinks.

Totally. But I wouldn't say no to fitting a CAR-15 (old style), to my M16 lower and bolt group.

Will your lower accept a CAR buffer tube and collapsable stock?

If the threads are the same as on the A1 lower, it will.

My lower will accept anything you can fit up in there baby..

And I got this from my gun dealer, who also collects interesting firearms.
