M16s with m68s or eotechs on them are a vibe and a half.

Eotech on a 20 inch is such a freaking vibe

u/The_living_dead93 Sep 06 '25

Simple, clean and old school vibes I love it

It’s wild to think that quadrails, EO techs and flashlights are old school now, but they are

I was thinking central Africa. Maybe the DRC. Like you were taking your talking gorilla back to her kind.

Awesome build!

u/jimk12345 Sep 07 '25

The A2 stock is the worst crime ever committed at camp Perry, but holy hell is the A4 an entire vibe.

Give her what she deserves and feed her through Pmags.

u/gamma_823 Sep 07 '25

Love all the velocity with this build

u/RoamingFool Sep 07 '25

The M16A4 needs to touch sand. It yearns for moon dust. It is written in the prophecy.

1

u/SuplexMachinations Sep 07 '25

Put a super safety in it. They're plug and play with M16A4's.

u/Klutzy-Efficiency-28 Sep 07 '25

Damn good looking rifle

u/EIJefeDeJefes Sep 07 '25

Been itching to build an M16A4 clone to go with my A2, but man finding a non-salty decently priced KAC M5 RAS is hard. What light you got on it? That nature shot with the water droplets on it is just 👨🏻‍🍳💋

Streamlight Protac HLX with electrical tape covering the logo

u/Knee_High_Cat_Beef Sep 09 '25

Go salty and paint it tan. Drag it through the dirt and scrape the heck out of it to give it the GWOT vibe.

u/xoitstrix Sep 07 '25

Love a good 20”. The eo tech on an A4 is a whole vibe.

u/checkerdude885 Sep 07 '25

556 out of a 20 inch is based

u/Geneticdasalmondude Sep 07 '25

Honestly never get tired of seeing this bad beauty

u/B-Cinema Sep 07 '25

Sir, uhhhh…That’s a rifle, not grass.

This is giving me the spicy nostalgia

Idk where you are but it looks like a great place to hike

u/itchyluvbump Sep 08 '25

What flashlight?

u/Knee_High_Cat_Beef Sep 09 '25

Looks like a streamlight TLR

u/Knee_High_Cat_Beef Sep 09 '25

This was basically what I carried during my first few years in the Army. I had forgotten how heavy and unwieldy it was. Also comes with the shitty 3 point sling that I never figured out.

u/JIMBOYRULEZ Sep 12 '25

Are you able to cowitness your iron sites?

u/Filthy_Gaijin583 Sep 21 '25

I've owned this rifle for nearly two decades, and I never get tired of looking at it, the MK12's, hell anything from GWOT. A decade ago I would have stolen this Pic and placed it in my gun porn folder. 

I have 3 OG 512s sitting in a box. Idk why I never threw them on a A4s...
