This is a copy of the M-16 as manufactured by Palmetto State Armory with this logo visible on the left side of the magazine well. Also marked “Metrotech Ltd . McHenry, IL” on left side of magazine well. Handgrip was manufactured by Lone Star Ordnance. Other markings are too faint for this cataloger to discern. Suffice to say, this is a telescoping stock carbine type M-16 with bolt forward assist, round handguards, and 11” barrel with bird-cage flash hider. This is a registered receiver machine gun. Five 30-round, non-Colt black follower magazines are included as well as an original U.S.M.C. fighting knife in leather sheath, and a soft canvas carrying case. Selector markings are “S”, “F”, and the full-auto position has been left blank. Electronic NFA registry indicates “PALMETTO STATE ARMORY” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine combination of black hardcoat and blue finish on barrel. Handling marks and loss of finish from use. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. Not a Colt but still an American classic. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4. JWK 2024-09-034.
