I was in the Canadian Armed Forces at the time we made the transition from the FN C1A1 (SLR) to the Diemaco C7 (Canadian built AR-15) assault rifle. After going from a 7.62x51 to 5.56x45 in what seemed like a plastic toy, I was VERY negative about the decision. And then I fired it! (High velocity, accuracy with low recoil... and so much lighter) And three years later, I realised that the damn thing just didn't fail. In spite of sand, mud, dirt and ice. Very reliable. Yeah, this is was a wise decision. Outstanding rifle.

In reality, as you know, the enclosed action of the m16 won't jam. Unless you intentionally try, it's simply won't. Canada made the right decision to adopt the the c7 incarnation of the m16.

Walked in a pawnshop today. They were putting this exact rifle out. Great shape. I bought it. Waiting on a phone call so to pick it up. Very excited

In 1984, I was firing the M16A1, and the M1911A1, but for some reason, no bayonet and had to buy my own K-BAR. Took me until 2017 to acquire a Colt AR15A4, which brings back lots of memories.. It is accompanied by a Colt Commander, and an Ontario OKC 3S bayonet, which oddly enough, fits the government Mini-14. Had to become a Buds Team member to get one of these, as they kept selling out. These are great guns, and just remember, every time an AR-15 is fired, a liberal cries "Ban assault weapons now!"

Funny thing is that this old rifle from 1984 without all the modern gimmicks, rails, cut down barrels etc. is actually a lot more powerful and if so wanted more leathal of a weapon. Like already mentioned in the comments earlier the 5.56x45 and .223 rem were designed to be shot out of at least 20" barrels to be able to gain the proper muzzle velocity to carry the light, low BC bullet out to a reasonable distance and really tear some flesh apart on impact. With proper hot loads this old thing puts out a significant amount more wallop @200yds and flatter trajectory than an M4 or any similar carbine length AR. Those are nice and handy but this is the real thing in what comes to 5.56 weapons.

When I was in the Army in 1984 I shot thousands of rounds thru an M-16A1. The sights and everything else BUT the hand guards were exactly the same as this AR-15. I had no trouble hitting a target at 400 meters with these sights.

I loved my M16A1! 6 pounds of awesome. I was discharged in Dec. 71 and wanted to forget all of that. Until now! I just bought a Colt AR15A4 and other than the weight, love it. BTW, the trigger is smooth as silk. Bought from Bud's thanks to Hickok45

I was trained to shoot using the venerable M-16 A1 in Army basic training. Of course it was semi and full auto, unlike the current 3 round burst limited weapons. Shooting the A1 on full auto was a blast and at night the gas tube would glow cherry red. That hole on top of the carry handle was for the installation of a clip on brass deflector for left handed shooters, a little trivia. I have a standard AR-15 A2 similar to yours but it has all the A2 modifications (namely a built in brass deflector). I learn a great deal from your channel, so keep them coming because I know you will give an unbiased assessment. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us who love to shoot.

What a beautiful rifle, the icon that started it all. Great to see you shooting it makes me drool with envy.

Will Terry This is true, however a day late and a dollar short. All they needed to do was change the projectile. That's it. Any good quality Bonded solid base projectile would have sufficed. Special operations forces already had the "optimized brown tip" which is basically an M262 round topped with a 70gr Barnes triple shock projectile. VERY effective out of SBR's for sure. And not certain but I believe there was a 50gr tsx load aswell that was the cream of the crop in terminal performance out of MK18's. In essence it all boiled down to politics and money that our soldiers lost lives for. All the variants noted above where astronomically cost effective solutions in comparison to the M855A1.

WOW, I was actually just thinking about building an AR-15 in the M16a2 style. Looks like the universe is talking to me.

In 2015 I had a roommate that stole it and sold it for drug money. I could wish that it may come home but not much chance. To me this is the best AR Colt ever produced.

hickok45 much love from the socialist shitheap of Canada Hickok and John ✌🏼️

In the army I had the chance to trade my A1 for the new A2, hell no! Why have a 3rd burst when I already had a real full auto.

Keep up the great videos Sir we enjoy them greatly!!

Hickok I love your gun knowledge and your videos. I bought my AR15 when I was 20 years old back in 76 for 475 dollars and got em to throw in the bayonet , army sling , extra mag and a bi-pod. My father was a sharpshooter and always preferred open sights over scopes so I had an affinity for military firearms at a very early age and just loved taking them apart and rebuilding some of the old surplus rifles we had around the house. This Liberal will keep watching your excellent videos.

Thanks. "Liberals," "Conservatives," "Democrats," "Republicans," "Libertarians," young folks, old folks, and everybody else is always welcome at our channel. Regardless of political persuasion, though, I think virtually all firearms enthusiasts would encourage anybody who cherishes the Bill of Rights to try his or her very best NOT to vote for gun banners. Fortunately, as they've come out of the closet lately, it's become easier to cast an intelligent vote that will not jeopardize our Second Amendment and the very firearms in our possession.

Repeal the Hughes Amendment!!!

Davethe Canadian millennials eat all the tilde pods, nothing left to shoot

Something about that rifle’s simplicity is just so beautiful

Brings back good memories! I had one without forward assist. Good times.

How many firearms do you own???

Dmitri Zolotyh Shorty after this rifle was made, Colt decided that us mear commoners didn't qualify for the "evil" flash hiders and bayonet lugs that came on their rifles... So they removed them. It's often speculated that this was done in an attempt to appease polititions that controled the purse strings of the government contracts for Colt rifles... Oddly enough, Colt couldn't wait to sell use full feature rifles after they started loosing bids to FN...

Hey didn't know that! Thanks for sharing I'll look into it a bit more! As a Swede in Sweden, you can't own anything like this, unfortunately. Some people do it anyway, I can't say i support illegal behavior, but I don't blame them. I have to make due with watching other people have all the fun

I love the way m16/AR15 bolt group just slides in close push pin in. Very modern design..

Love the Kentucky prisoner joke! I live in Missouri and have the same problem with Tennesseeians. Lol. Keep it up Hickok45!
