    Nam was fifty years ago, I think most people would think Hueys and M16s when asked that question.

      When I joined the Army in 1994, my unit still had m16a1

        Information that appeared to me in a dream confirms that the US Army was still issuing M16A1 lowers into the 2000s.

        I went to basic in 93 and we had A1’s in basic but my unit (101st) had A2’s for everyone, at least for the combat arms guys.

        We were using A2s back then. I would have loved to get my hands on an A1 though. Fully auto? Yes please!
