Just a clone, but I like it anyway.
Sorta vintage.
That is very,very nice - in a "Son Tay" kind of way
Stick an Armson OEG on that puppy and you're all SOG'ed up - and incidently I don't think you be less well armed than anyone with a current issue carbine.
My dad has one of the old M16's .... (Not the M16A1.... but just M16)
He has actually been talking about selling it if there is any one that is collecting.

It would either be 12(2) or 12(3) depending if it's semi or FA at the present time.

Great video!
Such a simple design even Pee-wee Herman can field strip it!

It came around at about the same time as the Army was trying to save weight on ammo, so the thing got redesigned for the "new" cartridge, had a few bugs worked out in the process, and became the AR15 which was eventually adopted as the M16. The M14 was already in the inventory by the time the AR10 came about, and since every soldier was already familiar with the Garand and wouldn't require retraining, the initial decision was a no-brainer.
I would guess its a politics thing. Also, I would imagine old standards prevented it from being adopted, it really was a rifle ahead of its time. Also, I think the M-14 was adopted pretty recently at the time the AR-10 was introduced, so, that probably helped kill the AR-10 with the US army.
