[QUOTE="MeanderingBeing, post: 970457, member: 10161"] Taiwanese M16 is known as (originally) the Type 65, a later model is called the Type 75. The original two were largely based upon the orignial M16, and some would say that the 75 is an outright rip-off. If I recall correctly, they bought the rights to manufacture their own, and is currently being produced by Hsing Hua arsenal. Production started in... mid 1970s? I think... In the mid 80s, another model was produced, the Type 86 (I'm guessing thats the year), that was closer to the M4. A few differences are that the forend is reconfigured, and a 100-rd c-mag is available... As far as operation goes, I do not know anything on the matter, but I would say that it is safe to assume that it is either the same or similar. CHEERS! EDIT: Why does that bottom picture have an M14 in it? [/QUOTE]
