I had been in the market for a Colt M16 for quite some time just waiting for the right to come up. During the search, I found some other toys along the way. I don't really know the story behind it. The dealer I bought it from just had it under consignment from a collector selling off some of his collection. It had only been listed a day or two. I'm not sure how long the previous owner had it.
I don't have it yet. It just transferred in state. Now I have to start the Form 4 process so it will be a few months. But I will shoot it. I own a few guns that I haven't shot or don't shoot anymore but all the machineguns are shooters.
Very awesome! Post a video of when you take it out? I would love to see that if you don't mind videoing it.
