    Vintage M16A1 in use by a local LEO agency... tricked out


    I was surprised to see this old piece in use with a local agency while we were at a shoot together. They are really making the most of what they have. Aparrently, the M16 and the Aimpoint with mount were freebies from the government.
    I figured this was the appropriate forum for this, but if not feel free to move it and continue discussion.

    My agency received 400 of these rifles. Many of them were rebuilt at an arsenal and are like new. Some of them I shot are quite accurate.

    That rifle will do everything they need on that configuration.

    Thousands of departments are deploying those old war horses all over the country. While to long for house clearing they are acceptable for perimeter containment and active shooter use. The ones I have shot and seen shot (Over 30 at a time) were accurate and the only malfunctions were magazine related.
    We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.

    We have them on the streets right now.

    The armory refitted them without auto ability.

    Ours were converted to shoot semi-automatic only as well. Given their use, I believe this was a wise move.

    It's good that these rifles were made available for use by LEO instead of being destroyed or sold to foreign entities.
