Shooting it won't hurt it or the value. It's been rebuilt and most likely fired before. Enjoy it and know you are the envy of many a milsurp lover, for these are some of the finest rifles ever made for military service.

I'm selling this for my Uncle,
What we have here is an M16A4 style clone built from parts, on an Aero Precision M16A4 lower. It started off as a GWOT style USMC M16A4 but has ended up with some additional upgrades. This Rifle is semi-automatic only, despite having a feaux 3-round burst...
If you know how to inspect a rifle for bore condition, you can't go wrong with just about ANY Mauser action rifle chambered in 8mm. If it has a great bore you can rely on the rifle to perform well as long as you know how to do your part.
But luckily this is quite possibly the largest world of...
Yes same here, my eventual homestead carbine of choice will be a mocked up Blood Diamond type build, with an illuminated reticle micro-prism, white light and rattle can paint job.
The PTR-91 GI is very high on my list of must haves. Semi-related: I got my first deer with my M1 Garand. I don't...
That is such a sweet rifle dude!
Not a rifle...but here's my current carbine, also in an Air Force theme, kind of a GAU-5 at home build, 11.5" lightweight 1-9 w/ 5.5" p&w feaux moderator, just on an Anderson for now. I'm obsessed with the light weight and handiness of it.
H&R is certainly the best value for a strict clone already-built rifle. But I do find it strange that they are made with Harrington & Richardson markings on the A2 builds, that's not really a historical thing. It makes much more sense on the A1's but even that was limited during the Nam era. The...
Also I believe the barrel profile you are looking for is going to be what they call Gov't Profile, it's the barrel for the M16A2 which has a .75"
I get mine from Del-Ton and they have been very good quality and price.
This is barely relevant to your post, but you got me thinking about it so here ya go.
So for the past few years I've had an obsession with Retro AR building. I have handled every commonly encountered variant of the M16 clone from the XM16-M16A4. (Semi-automatic ones only, sadly)
This has led...
Happy Thanksgiving, Men
Hopefully you will eat so much, you pass out. Remember, just don't bring up politics, religion, or rival sports teams at the dinner table.

It's a little out of the way but Deer Creek Products in Shelbyville/Middletown Indiana is a one stop shop for all black powder needs. They're one of the only black powder importers left in the U.S. and they have an enormous selection black powder guns, parts and accoutrements. The counter area...
