Been seeing some Retro pics and decided to grab a kit before they are gone.
Nodak M16A1 retro lower with all the markings from Ident Markings.Got tired of looking for a barrel and reprofiled a Colt '97 A2 1/7 .Got barrel parked and FSB mounted over the rainy weekend and assembled the bits.

very nice!

i am working on a very old "colt" slab-side upper build. mine is not going to be as pretty or period accurate as yours.

i am raiding all my parts bins. it will have a DTI 1-9" twist 20" pencil barrel and vintage stocks , three prong FH , de-milled colt fire control group,--

i just realised somethng-- i am going to have to do SOMETHING with those a1 style rear sights!

LOL those little peep-holes didn't look so small decades ago---LOL

Nice. Except for the cleaning kit, which they never gave us. :)
Looks period accurate, even down too the 20 round mags.
Oh. No bayos. We sent those too the Marines. :lol:

Dang,How about the sunscreen...er...a Sunburn Preventative Preparation (cream paste) and Insect Repellent ,75% DEET in 25% Denatured Ethanol ?
Date on bottle says Dec 1966,I just looked at some Deep Woods Off and it was just the opposite 25% DEET and 75% "other ingredients".
Hitest Bug Juice ! Don't call the EPA on me!

Sorry too get off topic pugwag.
Cleaning the leaches off at night. Got low in the hole.
Hit my legs with the juice. Lit a match too see if I got em all.
Oh yes sir Viper Dude that stuff burns.
Both my legs went up in friggen flames like a human torch.
I lit up the whole damn perimeter running.
The guys laughed, laughed. Dirty S.O.B.s :)

First off, that is a beautiful build, and definitely brings back memories of my old A1 in Uncle Sams Misguided Children.

Sgt. Ron, I loved the ham n limas as well. Takes a particular taste. LOL.
