The barrel retains a sharp, reflective bore.
This example captures the unmistakable profile of the original M16A1-pattern rifle with its lightweight 20-inch barrel and iconic triangular handguards.

The combination of genuine Colt manufacture, classic M16A1 styling, and included furniture makes this an especially attractive package for collectors and builders alike.
