    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    Not unless you want to supply the ammo. You supply the ammo, I will shoot this thing until it is ragged.

    I picked up my M16 on thursday after having to wait a few months for uncle sam to clear it. Before you all say, "F$^&g rich bastard!," let me be clear, I sold about 75% of my gun collection to finance this. I have been collecting guns for about 17 years, and I sold a lot of neat stuff to finance this thing. In fact, other than the tax stamp, I completely financed this thing through the sale of other toys...Including an FNC (full auto), a bunch of AKs including my beloved FEGs, my Walther pistol, my "break my P2000", my Berretta shotgun, other guns, about one million orphaned holsters and magazines, a bunch of stashed ammo, my Vox AC30, my stratocaster, and a bunch of other crap. I sacrificed many years of guy toys for this! I pretty much forsaw the current Obama mania and I figured that if I was going to get anything NFA I better do it now.

    Anyway! This thing is awesome. I quickly swapped the upper for a 416 upper a bought a while back for this project. Other than dropping in the spring and buffer, this is a pure plug and play affair. I shot it a little on Friday and discovered that the previous owner had not retightened the Flash suppressor. No big deal, I put a crush washer on it and remounted it for today. I zeroed my Aimpoint T-1 (which I bought for my old FEG AK). I do not have the tool to adjust the elevation on the HK sights, but they were pretty close. I loctited the diopter sights in place and am going to order the sight tool tonight.

    The gun is accurate. I was able to shoot several one inch groups with Privi ammo despite the 4moa dot of the T-1, telling me that the 416 barrel is probably all it is cracked up to be.

    FUN SWITCH!!!! I purposely bought an A1 because I wanted full auto, not burst (of course, you can convert them also). I have shot several machineguns before, including M16, AR-15s, Berettas, Rugers, MP-5s, UZis, Macs, etc, and I can say that the 416 is very controllable on full auto. It has been a while since I shot another M16 so I can't really say if the 416 shoots any differently.


    So far I have put 400 rounds of Privi 193, 120 rounds of Lake city 193, and 60 rounds of Privi 855 through it. As expected there have been no malfunctions. I haven't given it a thorough cleaning yet but I will post something if there is anything interesting.



    Here is my buddy Shane doing some night shooting...

    Dude, the awesomeness of that weapon is blinding!

    I truly shudder to think of how much it cost!
