The Gold Standard of Vietnam War Re-enacting: Real Colt M16A1

Finally got around making another video, and starting back up with a pretty high note! Featuring a very cool new acquisition, a genuine, Colt manufactured M16A1, inert of course, given I still live in the hole that is England, but that's okay!

Though this was just a quick video, done in a day, so the quality is going to be a little lower, though I'm trying to raise the production quality just a little bit.

I still have plenty of ideas for things to make, but as said they do take time and I'm still completing sets and kits, as to be able to publish something a bit more complete, but do stick around!

2:52 Background history of the M16A1

As usual hoping Youtube sees that this is still not promoting any sort of violence, usage of live firearms, or even the manufacturing of such items, as this is an educational video, for entertainment purposes.

Special thanks go out to anyone that has made this video possible, particulatly @vietnam_war_room and @hoostonks on instagram.
