M-16A2 carbines. Colt 727, XM-4 & more. History, parts, & cloning of the rifle from Blackhawk Down.

Re-Upload to make the YouTube Gods happy. The Colt M-16A2 carbine, AKA the Model 727. Cloning that rifle from the real Blackhawk Down and movie in torturous detail. And because it's so intertwined, we do the XM-4, the Colt 777, as well as other USGI M-16A2 carbines. A gun history nerd shows how to make the most accurate clone of the iconic rifle. We do a short history lesson, explain the variants, and finally parts variants.
