Every M16/M4 I've ever seen has either been Colt or FN... But if you flip through the pages of any gun magazine (or websites), it seems like every AR manufacturer claims that they make M16's & M4's for the US military.
I have a hard time believing that these seemingly civilian market oriented companies produce on a large scale for the military, because (to me) they seem like mom-and-pop operations, small in size.
Even the larger, more well known makers, such as Bushmaster, DPMS, etc claim to build for the military, yet I've never seen one.
Obviously, just because I've never seen one doesnt mean that they dont exist. I'm just curious.
So whats the real scoop on who makes M16/M4's?
