Correct Rifle

[PeteNora]

My M-817 has the dash mounted rifle carrier. What was the issued rifle that this truck would carry? I keep getting asked this question. Also where would one find a non firing rifle to use for show purpose? Thanks....

M14

M16

M16A1


Conceivably still in service for the M16A2

Primarily M16A1. If I were choosing a display rifle, the M16A1 is most appropriate. Nonfiring replicas are available on Ebay.

Or save $19000 and get one with a two position selector instead of three, for around $1000.

I can build you a working semi for under a $1000. I own a gun shop.

Can you build me a working auto for $20,000?

Would transport company soldiers ever carry carbines like a CAR-15 or XM-177? I thinking of tankers & artillery personnel who would often carry shorter guns due to space constraints...

Airsoft AR is like $40 and if it disappears no great loss. Also, you can build your own AR for like under $500.

I believe that will cost $20,200 though. Construction, about 4 hours. Gov tax stamp ... much, much longer.

I did 3 A1s from Sarco parts kits, came out nice.

Brownells has complete rifles on sale now,

https://www.brownells.com/firearms/rifles/semi-auto/xbrn16e1-rifle-5-56mm-20in-prod113313.aspx

All of the kits I can find out there are w/o bbl and still $550 - $600

Evike airsoft guns are very realistic. Here is one with pencil bbl and 3 prong hider.

Coming from a guy who used to have rifle racks in his pickup, I hate to say that displaying even a fake gun today will invite problems.

People are easily frightened.

All the more reason to desensitize them through frequent exposure
