@@THEPAGUNGUY I ended up finding the tube at specialized armament and a grey A1 Slip Ring from MilCo. I don't have any paint but I guess that would work too. I'm collecting A1 rifles and want them to at least look like the originals.
Thanks for the video. I been looking at the website with the original M16 furniture. I wanna get the nicest set but don’t want the refurbished stuff. The Type D is what I need correct? The rifle looks great by the way. It’s a shame PSA/H&R doesn’t seem concerned with the details.
@ You ever think about getting a Vietnam Car15 from H&R? It was a toss up between the M16 and Car for my dad. In Vietnam he liberated an AK-47 and later traded it to a LOH scout pilot for his Car15. Some days later some officers liberated the Car15 from my dad and wanted to know the name of pilot he traded with. My dad made some excuse about the pilot having his tinted visor down and not recognizing him. The officers took the Car and pissed off. He probably got played by the pilot. My dad was 20 years old. Anyway he was always bummed about the situation as he didn’t get to take the cool Car on any patrols. As far as the AK goes he got some cool pic with it. I’m not sure what the equivalent PSA H&R Car15 would be. At the time there was only one model of Colt Car15 in service?
@@OhItsThat did u order the M16? Yes all the damn time I think about buying one lol there just so damn expensive and like I said in this video there’s details that are wrong so if u are like me and will wind of fixing them. The cost of the rifle you could build a base BCM for the cost there what 1200 I probably will brake down and buy a carbine I’ve been thinking about it for some time. And I would like to do a video on just the H&R line what they get right what they don’t. Kinda along the lines of this video but on a bigger scale. But I think I should have a bigger sample size I only have 2 H&R rifles at this point. Just wish they were 900 bucks not sure why they need to be over 1100 for a non blem
@@OhItsThat oh yea and about the carbine no I think there was a few there was never a adopted carbine until 1994 with the adoption of the M4 so anything b4 1994 was commercial of the shelf that the air force and special forces bought from colt. No TDP or anything. I think there was a XM177 a XM177E2 I’m not sure if the Car 15 was a different carbine or the same thing just another name. I’m more into the standard infantry rifles like the colt 601, XM16e1, M16A1
Thank you for the great work on your videos! This is a nice update, and the stamp and sling links are very much appreciated.
Glad you like them! Thanks for your support!
Great video ! Thanks !
I love the rifle and did the same upgrades. I'm looking for a gray buffer tube, not easy to find it seems.
Colt uses grey buffer tubes. My AR15A4 has one, was thinking of just taking the tube off and painting the end w that paint I had in the video.

@ I haven’t ordered the rifle yet as I wouldn’t be able to pick it up from my FFL right away.
How is the bolt holding up? How many rds have you fired threw this rifle so far?
