Right on!
I've got 2 out of 3. Working on putting together a solid AR.
Not really. He asked what 3 would you have and that is what most folks are listing. What I don't understand is why folks don't have the guns they are listing if they are available. If you truly want the 3 you are listing, get them.
Seems like this thread turned into "hey let's show off our cool guns"
For all intents and purposes, an M16 is a select fire AR15. It is the same thing.
Now, since the only M16's/select fire AR15's that any of us lowly civilians can own had to have been made and registered before May 19, 1986, I would prefer those made on the M16 pattern lower. The Colt AR15's from that time period that were converted to select fire used non-standard .315" front pivot pins and a screw versus the M16's .250" captured pivot pin. That severely limits the uppers you can use without an adapter pin. All modern AR15's and everyone else's AR style rifles use the .250" pivot pin hole. Any modern upper will fit on an M16 pattern lower.
