M16A3....New picatinny rail mounting system takes the place of the handguards

M16A4....removable carrying handle to allow for newer optics to be mounted on rail system

One wonders why go with an M16a4 when you can have an M16a3. the M16a3 has the ablity to full auto unlike the M16a4 which has the triple burst firing option of the M16a2. Going full auto is something that would very useful in a CQB style engagement which happens very often in MOUT situations.

The trigger/hammer group is basically similar to one, found in M1 Garand rifle, and, actually, traces its roots back to the early 1900s, when the great John M. Browning developed his famous Auto-5 semiautomatic shotgun. This basically consists of a hammer, a trigger, a disconnector, a full auto sear and some springs. The fire selector / safety switch is located at the left side of the receiver, above the pistol grip, and is easily operated by the right hand thumb. This switch has 3 positions: "safe", "semi" (single shots), and "auto" (full automatic on M16A1 and A3) or "burst" (3 rounds bursts, on M16A2 and A4). In the latter case (on the M16A2 and A4 rifles), the trigger unit also includes the ratchet device to count the shots fired.

honestly man do what a friend of mine did. buy the parts separately and put it together yourself....

A) its cheaper
B) no one knows about it

only problem is: obtaining the lower reciever. thats the only part of the weapon you have to have the "license" for

---

It's a flash supressor/muzzle break/compensator. Sorry I did not clarify. I'm not some gun "newb".

RYNO I want my AR15 back

Where did you get this info from because we have about 10 M16A3s in our company and none of them are full auto, Im not gonna say that none of them are because Im no gun expert, I just know that all the M16A3s that Ive ever seen have not had the burst option.

Im gonna be a man and admit when Im wrong, after some research Ive recently found out that the M16A3 is extremely rare and almost non-existent and all the M16s we have in our company are infact A2s. Two version of the A2 were available and thats how I got confused, the differences I listed before between the A2 and A3 were actually differences between the two versions of the A2. +1 to RUINER.

I must spread some reputation around before giving to Ruiner again but I will get you when I can.

You just made it look like you knew everything about that gun and then he comes and shows all this info stating that you are wrong. But as I read on it look like in fact you know your stuff, and now he is wrong. So I guess im pwned for stating a wrong pwned-ness... :thinking:. Well you get the picture.

Either way you still know ALOT more about weapons than I do so, ya. Didnt mean to offend just being funny.

i got a colt ar-its the a3 model with flattop reciever

bushmasters are good to and a little cheaper then colt

the other AR manf. i dont know naything about(like rock rivers ect)

mine is the 6721 model which is LEO marked and cost $1074.00 -best price i could find

if you get an A2 model(fixed carry handle) they are a little cheaper

the closest thing you can get to a real M4 is a Colt model 6920(unless your in the service :)

If I didnt have a real M4 that I shoot more than I would like too I would spend the extra cash to get the removable carrying handle.

No worries. As I said earlier, they are rather rare. Tis all good.

the lower reciever is what makes the gun work. the upper "reciever assembly" consists of the barrel and the upper reciever. ..... i guess thats a bit confusing. :thinking: see photo(s).
Upper Reciever : http://photos.ar15.com/WS_Content/Im...ImageUnq=38766
