Other Ar15 and M16 Rollmarks

[Sharpshooter]

I am starting this thread for A1 lower receiver roll marks that were made by someone other than Colt. So as not to muddy the waters in the Colt thread.

This is an H&R M16A1 US Army Rifle

This next roll mark is from a lower made by a company called Ordnance Design Company in California. From what I can gather they have not been in business in a while and did not make very many receivers. If you have more information on this company and their lowers please post it.

This next lower is off of the Infamous LaFrance M16k. I have heard so many stories concerning the little crowd pleasers you can take your pick on what is true or untrue or just what sounds good to you. I have actually the contacted the people who made these in an attempt to learn more of their history. The lower is unique from other Ar lowers in that it was a hybrid of A1 and A2 features. It also apears to be a billet piece . They are also roll marked on the right hand side of the mag well instead of the left.

Sendra Production M16 , My apologies for the poor image quality but these are not my pictures in many cases. Also a lot of the Sendra made lowers varied in quality.

Norinco CQ Chinese made copy of the AR15/M16 on an A1 style receiver. Sold very briefly in the US (less than 500 copies) . Still available in Canada and distributed to guerrillas and terrorist by the Chinese Communists.
