The Wezzy
Sweetwater Operator: M16A1
Lightbox.
The soldier who ordered this slick rifle wanted his father's VN-era M16 in his hands on his next mission. To do that, the entire firing mech had to be replaced with a more reliable modern M16 unit, and the upper receiver was replaced with an elevated rail Sweetwater custom.
In addition, SPW fabricated our own ultra lighweight two-piece polymer composite handgaurd with an aluminum heatshield. The original lower receiver was remilled with a solid-latch sliding fire selector and rubberized grip pads on the front, and the original solid stock was refinished, bored out and fitted with a sliding rubberized cheekrest on the left and top of the weapon.
The iron sights have been replaced with a tritium front ring and post and an illuminated shaded notch at the rear. Uses polymer magazines. The new RSCT red dot completes the all-purpose package.
