Topic: New Umarex Colt M16 Owner!!! (Read 1924 times)

vlhoang · « **on:** November 16, 2011, 07:00:06 PM »

Hey guys, so after a long debated battle between the S&W and the Colt, I decided to pick up the Colt. I knew I wanted a long barrel and luckily impacguns.com had 1 left in stock and it was on clearance so it made the choice even easier. Only issue now is that I dumped more money into this gun this what the gun cost lol. I've already put 500 rounds through it and only had it for 3 weeks. This thing is a blast to shoot and i'm glad I went with the Colt over the S&W. So i decided to mod a few things and wanted to show it off. Still need to pick up a few 10 rounders so I can actually bench shoot this thing and a surefire suppressor to replace the boring old regular flash suppressor lol. Let me know what you think.

Base: Umarex Colt M16
Noveske 12.5" Free Float
Low profile gas block/gas tube
Troy front and rear battle sights
Magpul MIAD grip and trigger guard
Magpul PRS
Vltor Mod Pod
Custom engraved "Surprise Cock Fag!!" dust cover
Elcan SpecterDR
Painted grey body black to match free float

vlhoang- Nice!!! Welcome to the Forum. Quite a few guys here have the Colt. Remember the new suppressor (threaded 1/2X28)standard AR thread requires a thread adapter for this Colt/Umarex. Tacticool has them for about $25.00 or so. Welcome!!! again.

yup the thread adapter is already on my to buy list lol. i just gotta figure out how to make more money disappear without the wife knowing lol.

LOL! I've been married almost 41 years and let me tell you, if she wants anything, clothes, hobby, etc then put her on to it. I do and I basically can get what I want as far as guns and shooting. Budget constraints apply of course. Works for me....

eh if i did that i would have to file for bankruptcy lol. she already gets what she wants to a certain extent so some of my purchases kinda flew under the radar lol. thanks for the warm welcome to forum. as much as i love shooting heavy caliber weapons, the pocketbook doesn't get empty shooting .22lrs. i dunno why so many people knock the quality of the umarex. from diassembling and reassembling and cleaning and such it was quite a breeze and i prefer our metal receivers over the S&W plastic.

Sweet!

thanks for all the compliments. i really wanted a unique colt. i've already had people mistaken the rifle as a real ar-15 at the range. one gun was shooting a s&w next to me and was showing off his gun to everyone and i pulled mine and took away the attention lol. i think my next project is going to be the standard colt m4 carbine. i love this thing so much i need a shorter version now lol.

The most money I've seen into the Colt/Umarex for sure.
Nice!
What does "Suprise Cock Fag" mean ?

vlhoang · « **Reply #9 on:** November 17, 2011, 03:13:40 PM »

thanks microgunner. surprise cock fag comes from the movie Team America. It's kinda one of those novelty quotes. Noveske did a limited run on the dust covers and they are hard to find an authentic one without spending an arm and a leg sometime. so i just took a spare cover i had to Things Remembered in the mall and had them engrave it. got a lot of weird looks from the employees there, but they did it.

The cops have probably been notified to watch out for you......

Nice Stick!! One hell of a nice .22. Did the free float install the same as on a regular AR upper? Threads the same?

vlhoang · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2011, 08:09:16 PM »

yea the free float installs like a regular ar. no adapter or anything needed. just remove front sight, handguards, and delta ring and everythign else goes on with no issues.
