So Memorial Day is upon us and I have finished my Vietnam M16A1 rifle project just in time to honor all of those who gave everything so that we could be here today. An awful lot of time and research and money went into the making of this tribute to our Vietnam infantrymen. I'd like to thank the folks at Nodak Spud, Fulton Armory, US Collectors Ordnance, Apex Gun Parts, Green Mountain Rifle Barrel Company, Orion Arms, Gun Broker, Schluder Shots, Jarrell Sharp, my friend Kirk Gustafson, and the guys at Carl Jarl gunsmithing here in Omaha. I picked the rifle up on Wednesday after the assembly was complete. I am very happy with the final results. This rifle is something that I am very proud of putting together and a piece that I will use in displays and to honor our veterans for years to come. And now, some photos of the finished rifle taken in my backyard on a canvas shelter half.
