My latest new "Vietnam" rifle.

Here is my most expensive and latest AR15. I just picked it up yesterday. This one cost me $2,300.00 and will never be fired. AFAIK, this was the only rifle like this for sale in the entire USA when I was looking for it. There are none for sale now (only a few hundred were made):





It's a 20" barrel Colt Vietnam Commemorative.

Here is my Colt AR15 SP1, which looks exactly like the M-16 I carried in Vietnam in 1969 (the only difference is no full automatic):

This rifle is one of the few I have fired many times here in the Reno area:

Here is my latest rifle. "M16A1" in mint condition. Notice the FULL automatic position. I now own this legally. Anybody want to guess how?

Okay, I will now explain it.

Notice how the engraving changes in the middle photo, just above where it says "Model NDS-16A1".That and everything below is the truth. Everything it says above is a lie and was simply engraved on by the previous owner. Since the fonts and sizes of the lettering is slightly different from what the US Government uses, it is perfectly legal to engrave the lies on the rifle. It was NEVER "property of the US Government" and the "Auto" was simply engraved on by the previous owner. While there is an "Auto" engraved, there is no possible way to select it. It has the trigger stuff of any other AR-15. The gun is real AR15, but the weaker, less deep stamping above the real model number is all fake, but with a lot of attention to detail, to make it as close as legally possible to the real thing.

If it were for real, it would require the federal automatic license, would be transferable, and worth north of $25,000.00. I purchased this "fake" for $1,100.00. It's still a real AR15 otherwise and fires well on simi only.

These are built from the NoDak lower receiver and there are gun forums dedicated to making these look as original as legally possible. But still many gun owners don't know such stuff exists.

BTW, the lower receiver is considered as the gun, even if nothing is in it. The rest of the gun is considered as only gun parts and can be shipped through the mail and such. The lower receiver is what has the serial number, model number and such and requires a background check (or CCW) to buy and is treated as if it's the complete gun, which cannot be shipped in the mail and if purchased on-line must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer.

One more interesting fact. Look at the TOP photo, directly above "semi". You will see a pin in a hole, right?

Wrong! That was only engraved. There is no pin at all. An AR15 does NOT have such a pin there. Only a M-16 has such, which has to do with the full auto.

That will show how much detail went into making this AR15 look like a real M-16.
