Colt RO727 M16A2 Carbine Clone

Description

***Final price drop*** (UNFIRED) Operation Gothic Serpent Colt RO727 M16A2 Carbine Clone. This RO727 clone is built on a preban Colt R6520 AR-15 A2 Government Carbine, which is unfired and in great condition, especially considering it is nearly thirty years old (Mfg. date October 22nd, 1993. Verified by Colt). This rifle is a near perfect clone of the carbine Rangers used in Somalia in 1993, and was built to be as close to "museum quality" as possible. You will not find a better Colt RO727 clone, I guarantee it. The factory 16" lightweight barrel was replaced with the era correct (unfired) Colt M16A2 Carbine M203 barrel. These barrels are extremely rare in any condition, and basically impossible to find in like new condition. The carbine's light setup is an excellent condition early Surefire 660 smooth body with a U07 tape switch, M14 barrel mount, and M10 1" ring. The optic setup is a very early (pre serial number) Aimpoint 3000L (Long) mounted on a 7.5" extended weaver carry handle mount. This Aimpoint 3000L is one of many Aimpoint 3000 versions, and the only correct version for the Ranger's RO727 carbines. The optic setup also includes the Aimpoint 2000 3x magnifier, which is the correct magnifier used by Rangers on their RO727 carbines. The sling setup is correct for the time period and consists of a 54" "silent sling" and Top Sling Adapter Kit. The safety slector has been correctly modified with the correct selector indicator notch, done by John Thomas of Reto Arms Works. The barrel is also pinned with a spacer to meet the 16" requirement, also done by John Thomas of Retro Arms Works. The carbine includes the original barrel assembly, all original accessories, the original blue label R6520 box, and can be easily converted back to factory configuration, if so desired. Also included is the Colt M16A2 Carbine user manual and extra accessories. Boxes for the Aimpoint 3000L and Aimpoint 2000 3x magnifier are also included. The rifle will ship in a Ranger green single carbine rifle case with the extra accessories. All accessories are in great condition (excellent used condition to like new condition) and are fully functional. A Reddit thread detailing this project will be posted in the comment section.
