M16 repro rear armor
« on: September 04, 2014, 07:33:40 AM »
I am planning a run of rear side armor for the M16. Not the fold downs at this time. If any one is interested let me know as the more I do the cheaper per piece it will be. I can do rear armor across the back if needed. I am copying from an original set off my M16.

I am needing a couple things for M13/M16;
1. long rear exterior box
2. carbine barrel end rack
3. photos of the interior configuration of a M13/M16

I have extra:
1. repro rear armor incl track armor less fold downs but can make those if needed.
2. M45 belly armor

Jamie,
If Kevin doesn't have the stuff for the M2 then try Paul, aka superjeep. He is making all the stuff for the rear of an M2. Steve Verburg, aka Outsider, has the doors and windshield armor you need. Both are on this forum.

Hi Kevin,

I have an M16 without fold down armor and would be needing just the back section with the door( I do have the door hardware set). could you contact me with the details of getting that section. I'm in Oregon so shipping would matter . thanks

Jamie and bud please pm me your email and I will send a list of parts.
No fenders available as of now. Not much in the way of M2 track armor. I have repro door lowers.
bud If you have a rear door than it could be a M16A1 or A2. M16s had no door. The M16A1 and A2 are totally different pieces of armor. M16A1 is basically a M3 and the M16A2 is a M16 with a door cut in the rear armor. Can you send me a pic?
