For the past couple months, I have been collecting parts to build two retro ARs - XM16E1 and M16A1. In the past week, I have gotten a lot closer. I managed to get the upper finished for the M16A1 and the lower finished for the XM16E1. Still waiting to get the lower for the M16A1. That may take a few months. I still need to send the GM no-forge code upper (XM16E1) off to US Anodizing to have the XM Gray anodizing done. Everything else is sitting idly by in anticipation. Here are a few pics of the progress.
XM16E1 lower assembly
Here are a few pics of the M16A1 upper on the XM16E1 lower.
When I get the XM upper done, it will get distressed to match the lower. The same when I get the A1 lower. It will be done to match the A1 upper.
