M16A1 replica

What's the deal on the rear sight and its parts being difficult to source? No one has tooled up to repro these so only used are available? I'll have to ask my father what color anodizing his M16 was when they took his M14 away. He loved that M14 and hopefully one day I can give him an M1A.

No one I know of really makes repro small parts. Nodak does stripped uppers, stripped lowers, and charging handles. Parts kits are the only real source for the correct small parts and those kits, for cheap, dried up some time ago. You can get individual parts off of gunbroker if you are willing to pay. Your cheapest option is most likely getting a complete A1 upper with all the parts still installed.

Vietnam era M16a1s are all grey. As they were rearsenaled some were anodized black but retro builders aren't interested in that look generally. They want the Vietnam era correctness.

I have an M1 in black, on a preban PWA reciever. Some body should talk me out of it. =)

Incredibly llimited run at too high a price from what Ive seen of it those rifles will actually be for the serious collector vs getting out to the masses.
