I was watching a video from last year on Mrgunsngear's Youtube channel about Brownell's Retro 4x carry handle scope. He mentioned that the US military used these type scopes to some extent for quite a few years. I had thought that these went out of use in around the late 1970's/early 1980's timeframe, but he indicated that he had personally seen them in use up through the early 2000's at least.
Presumably Guard and/or Reserve units were still using them by that time. I usually think of these as an M16A1 accessory, but is it possible some were added to M16A2's? Being originally matched to the 55 grain round, would they be compatible with the M855's ballistics?
