    Not trying to start a pissing contest, just genuinely curious, but why have people decided that snopes is an authority on anything? Isn't it like wiki, where anyone can post anything?

    The whole "Mattel M-16" myth started with some folks who hated having polymer as a component on their rifles.

    Mattel never manufactured any M-16s. Period.

    Anybody who says otherwise is wrong.

    I don't know if Mattel ever made the metal on the rifle, but the buttstock on the M16 I used in the Small Arms Firing School at Camp Perry in 1978 plainly said " Mattel Incorporated " cast into the plastic.

    If you spend much time around the guys who really, really know their craft, and who truly live this stuff, you tend to find that they are very soft-spoken and modest -- almost to the extreme. To my mind, that is a model worthy of emulation

    To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever provided ANY PROOF of this at all.

    Well, to be fair, I did have a toy M16 made by Mattel that went rat-a-tat-tat when you pulled the trigger... 40 years ago.

    Well, I have no proof, I just have my eyewitness account. I remember thinking the rifle was kind of junky, as I was a 14 year old used to shooting a Springfield Armory M1A and an Anschütz 1413. The reason it sticks in my mind is that I had heard the weapon referred to as a "Mattel Toy", but when I saw the molded mark in the stock I realized where the name had come from.

    P.S.

    I am not saying Mattel made the rifle, I'm saying that they were a subcontractor that made plastic parts on the rifle. For sure it was a Colt.

    I have no idea how reliable this is:
