My department recently obtained several FN and Colt M16A2’s with carry handles and burst capability. Since I’m the, “gun guy,” on the department, I was tasked with inspecting them and looking for issues.
All but one gun function checked fine, and worked well. The problem was one of the FN’s magwells seemed undersized. To the point where the gun wouldn’t accept a milepec aluminum mag without forcing it. It was free of any carbon debris, or melted plastic.
I’ve not seen an issue quite like this before. Please advise.
Also, what’s the, “go to,” solution other departments are using on surplussed M16’s to add a light, and an A1 or collapsible stock? Half of our department (10 guys) is 6’4” or over, so we’re ok with the big guns, but the other half is 5’7” and under, and they’ll need another option.
Thanks in advance.
