    Colt M16 A2

    During a gun show in December last year, I got to chat with a gun shop owner from the Italian part of Switzerland (called Ticino). He mentioned he had several full auto weapons for sale and I should shoot him an email to get the list (full auto weapons are not allowed at gun shows in Switzerland).

    Here’s the list :



    Plenty of nice weapons, but for me the Colt M16A2 was the most exciting item (well I ended up buying three weapons, but that’s another story).

    I already have an A1, so it’s nice to have a pair. And I have never seen an A2 for sale so far.

    After some negotiations, waiting for the owner’s responses (guns are on a consignment basis), then waiting for the special license, the rifle finally arrived. Cost me abt. $ 2500

    I guess it’s an export model based on old A1 forging for the lower. It has a burst position.

    Really nice! I like these early “transitional”/export A2 series guns for some reason.

    Kick ass weapon sir! I built something similar here in the states. Not for civilians... don’t be sad guys. You could live in Germany, or UK.
