I guess I got in to shooting AR15s because the local gun club did not have a class for 105mm Guns.
Cool stuff from the cold war. Treasure it. It must have been interesting being there at the end.
One last M16A1 story. After leaving the Army I assumed I would never see one again. During the Rodney King trail I was a Deputy in a northern Califoria Sheriff Dept when the riots hit LA. We had shotguns, 9mm Pistols and 357 Revolvers, and a few bolt rifles in 308.
After the riots the state was flooded with M16A1s and cases of the 55 grain ammo and made avaliable for local law enforcement, direct from Anniston AL. All we had to have was a training program, use policy and a place to keep it. Our amourer and Senior Firearms instructor was a former Marine that spent time in Vietnam. He had to have it. We recieved more M16s than we had deputies. Most were brand new, never fired. We had a lot of fun shooting that stuff up, we called it training.
I wouldn't be supprised if some of that 55 grain ammo that is called surplus wasn't some of the stuff transfered to local police depts.
