I have 28 M16A1's in the safe at work, 2-3 without forward assists I think. I carried one for 6 years and it ran like a scalded cat.
We now issue Colt M4's. No problems with those either.

I have been to many different areas in the Philippines, the AFP (army) and the PHP (police) both still carry the early styles of M16a1 rifles & often the finish is completely worn off.
With Ca's 10rd mag restriction, what 10rd mag is legal for nra/cmp competition? Are we restricted to steel/aluminum usgi-type mags? Who makes a 20rd length mag that's restricted/modded for 10rd if an "as issued" profile is needed for the mags?

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
I carry a Colt XM16E1 in my squad cars rifle rack. The SN.# is 559xxx I put short barrels and collapsible stocks on them and stored the original A1 hand guards,barrels and stocks. If we ever have to turn them back in they have to be in the issued configuration. We paid 25.00 a piece for the guns 10 years ago. They even came US Mail! We got 24 of them.
Yup ours came in the mail too. Just paid shipping about $42, inflation!

When I deployed to Baghdad in 2004, I was issued what I could only describe as a museum piece. Now, this was the Air Force mind you, but it was an old A-1 with the 3-prong flash hider. Came with 3 20-rd mags and no cleaning kit. At the time, I was "in" to guns but not nearly as much as now since I retired. I wish I'd have taken pics of that thing, It was pretty neat. As others have noticed, the AF will use it till it breaks, then move the remaining pieces around. Funny part, I wasen't allowed to forward deploy to Afganistan on account of my rifle was full auto, not 3-rd burst....was even stated on my orders.
