Colt AR15 model AR15A4. Full length Black Rifle. The Brother to the M16A4. Why you need one!

Overview of the Colt AR15A4 Semi-automatic full-length rifle with carry handle. This is recent production. For accurate and detailed info on Colt rifles tune in to Chris ‪@SmallArmsSolutions‬ . This rifle is a soft shooter and reminds me of the days in the 1970s larping in the woods with buddies looking for VC with our toy M16s. There is a great video on using the drum for sighting at distance ‪@Mrgunsngear‬ channel.

    Just picked mine up! I had the M16A2 while in the Marine Corps back in the mid 80s. It's like an old lost friend! I bought it because of the rear sight and that nostalgic look.

    Many might find the carry handle ancient, but I personally love it. It looks so cool, and does serve a descent amount of practicality and will always work. Love the 20 inch barrel too. It's what 5.56 was originally designed to be fired out of to get maximum velocity. Absolutely love these style rifles, and I'm only about 9 months away from turning 18 and being able to get one. Even building one is sick. A piece of nostalgia in the modern AR world full of tacti-cool builds. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed 👍

    Springfield makes good rifles. Base your decision based off of how you are going to use the rifle. I use an optic 99% of the time. A fixed carry handle gives limited options. The Colt AR15A4 allows a lot more versatility with the pic rail. I have an H&R retro M16 and I don't use it a lot at the range. Good luck with your decision!. Doug

    I added the UID from Carolina Laserworks shortly after I got the rifle. I ordered a square one and a rectangular one for the M16 A4 mod I am doing. Do you have the model 6700A4 or the model AR15A4? Not sure how Colt is having these put together but reading a lot that different contracted companies are doing a lot of the part manufacturing or processing and a lot of 'older' colt surplus parts are being used too. Not that that is bad but little consistency in markings and such across same models. Hope your rifle is a good shooter for you. Thanks for the feedback and comments.

    Not bad, even though I'm an AK guy, but I still got to give it up to the 5.56 as my first rifle is a 5.56 and I still have it to this day, although it doesn't hurt to have something that resembles an M16. Plus it's cheaper to have than the FN one as it's all gucci'd out, but I like the old school the Colt model has and without the weight of rails, you can just buy an adapter to toss in a light and an optic and you're set to go.

    If someone wants a truly inspired M16A1 the Windham will do but not sure about the quality of the stock, hand guards. It looks legit down to the slip ring and so you could get that retro look out of that A1 model. I have a few Colt rifles so if I was still looking for that retro look, I would get it and not change anything.

    So say I bought one, am I stuck with the 20 inch barrel? Or down the road could I buy shorter sized upper, and put it on this lower?

    Short answer is yes 😉😉. Long answer is you can’t legally convert a firearm sold as a rifle to a pistol so you would have to fill out the form to sbr it to go shorter than 16” to stay on the up and up with uncle sam.

    As skiddlyd.244 stated below- you can swap out uppers. The upper on this states M4 so its pretty common just need to go with a rifle length barrel 16" or 18" or longer as long as it is 16" Unless you do a lot of run and gun on a tactical course you really don't notice it is that much longer.

    IDK why Colt calls this an A4 when it's really an A2 with a detachable carry handle. For it to be an A4 it'd have to have a Knight's rail on it.

    Honestly I believe they lack a lot of consistency in manufacturing practices but most people will buy a specific model Colt rifle for the markings that are similar on the old rifles or Colt is just pulling old parts out of a drawer and putting them together on new rifles. Who knows- the quality and reliability are no concerns though - OLD or NEW CZ COLT. Appreciate your comments as I questioned it as well before I purchased the last couple of rifles. Chris from Small Arms Solutions Channel is knowledgeable and experienced on Colt history and rifles - check out that channel.

    I have an M16A2 clone rifle and an M4 clone carbine. I also have another lower and flat top upper on hand and am thinking of making an M16A4 clone. I like the carry handles and am fine with the A2 rear sights. But if I use the carry handle on everything, then there really is no difference between the A2 and A4. The A4 gives me options I'm not interested in. I may just wait until this pistol brace nonsense shakes out and then build something with a shorter barrel than the M4. 🤷‍♂ FWIW, the 20" rifle is FAR more pleasant to shoot.

I have a few videos on my channel on it if you want to check it out. Only difference is markings on the lower. Which begs the question why have 2 different models. I turned mine into a M16A4 clone. FN is on crack if they think there collectors M16 is worth 2k I’d rather have the colt anyways

    @bcj575 if you are referring to why Colt call the commercial/civilian version A4- not sure other than the similarities minus the Burst mode. The Colt M16A4 was Safe-Semi-Burst. The FN M16A4 with the Knights Armament M5 RAS was referred to the M16A4 MWS (Modular Weapons System). The Colt M16A3 was used by select military groups and was Safe- Semi- Auto. I was not in the Military so someone can comment on the info. Thanks for the comments and feedback.
