I inherited this old m16 training rifle a long time ago, and was wondering if it's worth anything or if people really collect them? I've found a few that sold over the years but none exactly like this one.
The flash hider/ birdcage is broken, it kind of looks like someone tried to unscrew it or something. It could be fixed pretty easily though I'm assuming. I've heard that these were made with de-milled rifles but I'm pretty sure everything on this is rubber except the stock (wood?) and the barrel (metal). Oh and the bayonet mount on the bottom of the front sight is metal, in assuming these were for bayonet training or something.
I guess they're pretty cool looking and could maybe be useful for films or something.
It says TUSA FT. GORDON on the stock, and the lower says "COLT AR-15 PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT. M16A1 CAL. 5.56 MM. SERIAL 804005"
Gotta love that the selector is set to AUTO all the time, haha!
Thanks for looking!
