"Pieced together this M16A2 clone over the course of a year and a half. Chose the A2 because my father was in the Army during the 80's so I was sure he'd appreciate shooting it and I like my guns to have some sort of military or historical significance. I chose the Brownell's A2 barrel assembly for my build due to it being the correct profile, twist rate, chambering, and chrome lining. Having the front sight post and barrel nut attached already was bonus! (Turns out my dad had an A1 all along, I guess that's next!)" - Brownells Customer Evan for Sunday Gunday

1964: “Come at me bro.” I just posted my review of the Brownells Retro M16E1. It is a pretty cool rifle and a little bit of history from our friend Eugene Stoner... #kitbadger #guns #shooting #m16 #m16e1 #retrorifle #vietnam @brownellsinc https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ewanIJEWw/?igshid=1d9n082kygn

@mrgunsngear brought along his personal Retro 601 clone and 4x clone scope (because yall sold us out so fast we couldnt even get one from inventory to bring!) down to the @iraqveteran8888_official YouTube event so folks could spend some time getting familiar! Well over 1000rds and all flawlessly ran in the rain!

Sometimes ya gotta take her to the back seat 🙄🔥
