Definitely wasn't a Diemaco. Had Colt markings on it, clear as day inc globe and prancing horse. Model 02 was stamped on it clearly as well, not A2.Originally Posted by Louis

Dying to find out what model it was too. Only thing I can think of is that it must have been a very early transitional M16 before they gave it the A2 designation due to the "Model 2" marking and being auto not burst and marked as such. I've handled A2 rilfles in their standard configuration as well, and I'm certain it wasn't a parts gun due to the groove in the carry handle being the same as an A2 and not the "U" type groove as a normal A1 upper. Very odd, and never seen one since. I'll consider myself lucky to have used it!
yeah lucky you! nothing useful appears if you google colt model 2 or any variations of that either
best rifle ever love shooting it
Diamaco is now Colt Canada.
Guys..I just wanted to bring something up that was kind of bothering me. Do you not find that guns are very good at start? I realise that some adjustments have to be made but I often think that too many people are now over-compensating for poor marksmanship/low familiarity with weapon with fancy gadgets and the like and in the end they are probably less efficient for shooting. Sometimes simplicity is best, no?
Please don't think I am insulting..just wondering.
Thanks

Absolutely. Especially, since the introduction of piccatiny railed handguards, a lot of people seem to think they need everything they've seen in the latest edition of SWAT magazine.
The best thing an AR owner can buy is plenty of practice ammo and a class or two.
My AR has a full rail system, but nothing but Irons right now. in my eyes, can be more of a waste of money.
one question
if one want to change the barrel of M16A1 with barrel of M16A2,does it need to change the entire upper receiver?
thanks in advance
No, you can change the barrel (and barrel extension, attached 99% of the time) by itself. You will need a sturdy work bench, a vise, upper receiver block, barrel wrench, and a torque wrench.
Went to the gun store near my house today. Got to handle two versions of an ACR, and the SCAR-H as well as an LWRC M6A3 with the adjustable gas system. Pretty cool toys. I liked the LWRC the best - simple, and familiar.
Unfortunately the cost is pretty ridiculous considering they don't improve on the semi-impingement system of the AR15. If you already have an AR15 rifle in your desired flavor it's hard to reason any use for the LWRC piston uppers unless you urinate hard currency. A well-lubed modern 'mil-spec' AR15 is cheaper to repair in the rare occasion that it fails and is better tested.
IMO if I were to drift away from the AR15 I would kick Sig in the rear and get them to import a Sig 550 clone for US markets.
i found a company that if you paid them and bought a 552 parts kit they would give you a 556 and convert it to a 552.
I handled (didn't shoot) a 5.56mm SCAR when I was home last. It was absurdly light. A guy who was recently here overseas with me had a Colt 733, which felt amazing after handling my rifle (heavy barrel, rails, dual mags, etc.)
