La France M16K

[MiggyE]

i was wondering if any one here has shot/used this AR variant? its like the colt SMG, but using 45 caliber ammunition. it uses old thompson stick magazines. its made by La France, a firearms division of SureFire.

Not sure what's going on in this thread...
Anyway, are M-16K's still made? I know LaFrance works for Surefire now, but I didn't know he was still turning out his cool shortys? To answer your question though, no, haven't shot one but I'd love to someday!

I believe the 16K-45 is still avaliable to .GOV end users... NAIT in Texas does their LE sales... Here is a link to their contact email... You can drop them a line and ask...

hello brother rat. yes, i guess they still are. was on an evaluation panel looking at options to replace a dozen A1's that were in our city's SWAT unit. got several offers, and NAIT submitted one for M16k's, all brand new. was wondering if they were a good buy. can't get one though, as the distributor mad it clear it was only for government orders.

thanks for the help buck. actually, i found out about the M16k when NAIT submitted a bid to replace a dozen worn 16A1's in the city's SWAT unit with 16k's. that's what got me wondering if it was worth the buy. still waiting for Colt's offer.
