My Retro LaFrance M16k Clone Project

Wondering about the 'LaFrance' moniker.
Was there a connection to the fire truck/equipment company?
Neat build. You fought a real battle with the carry handle sight!

I don't think there was any connection to the fire truck company. I think they are still building M16ks, though.

That sighting system is interesting.

It would be cool to have some kind of simple return-to-zero QD system like that to run as an ultimate back-up kept in a bag.

Someone with machining skills could make one that uses a rear dovetail and front hole to run standard Glock sights. Basically pick your Trijicons, Ameriglos, etc. and install them on the QD rail/riser thing set for a 50m zero.

Weapons modifications, design, manufacture. Something like that.

Had another look at the pics the OP posted; is that a Blade 'brace' as a buttstock? Great workaround, and that is a handy little carbine.
Thanks for the comebacks on 'America LaFrance'.
