    My M16 602 Vietnam straightpull

    Hi lads, a year ago I aquirred a sabre defence A2. I decided to try and make it into an early m16.

    This is what it looked like to begin with

    And thanks to a genius of a man recommended to me by a member of this forum it is now looking like a circa 1963 M16.

    Not sure to get the metal a more "grey" , still deciding



    Mods :
    Early 602 Upper
    3 prong flash hider
    Early "glossy" or mottled furniture
    Early sling
    Vietnam Era "simmons" 20 round mags
    Heavy barrel re profiled into the pencil barrel (yes I know it will overheat quicker and reduce accuracy!)
    Sabre lower defenced around the mag release button area , metal machined off at the back and near the bolt catch area.
    602 Lower style pins,Fire selector switch,bolt catch, mag release button.
    Early Triangular cocking lever

    Good Job!!!

    I remeber when you set out to make this rifle as you wanted it. What you have achieved is no mean feat.

    Well done.

    Thanks lads, it's all down to a very skilled gunsmith that did the modding for me.
    Although not sure about the black, as the VN m16's were grey in colour ?
    So far more people have said keep it black
