EMG Colt Licensed Historic Models M16A1 Vietnam Airsoft AEG Rifle

"The pictures of the rifle on the description page shows two round dimples on the upper receiver one on the front and one at the back above the charging handle. Iam glad the rifle I receive today did not have them. The rifle is PERFECT, Thank You EVIKE.

"WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just received my order from UPS today, and on the front porch was a large rectangular box that I have been anticipating sense it shipped from EVIKE five days ago. It was like the night before X-MASS when I was a young boy. Brought the box in and opened the top not knowing what to expect, this was my first purchase from EVIKE and my first airsoft rifle. After opening the top there was some packing paper, and after removing it there it was a blue box with COLT in large silver letters on it. Now I know how Ralphy felt after he removed the Christmas paper and saw RED RIDER on the box. I slowly opened the blue box and removing the foam cover, there it was the COLT M16A1 RETRO RIFLE. It was fitted in a perfectly cut out black foam insert. In the foam was the rifle, mag. allen wrench, and sight adjusting tool. With hands shaking I lifted the beauty out of the foam and couldn't wait to examine it. I am a little anal and like things PERFECT. The rifle had NO FLAWS on it at all, and after regaining my breath I worked on the 3-lug flash hider. It had a 1.5mm allen set screw located at the mussel end of the flash hider which came loose very easy. Then I unscrew the flash hider facing the mussel CW. it has 14mm reverse threads. It unscrewed with my hand and no heat needed. The flash hider has an orange triangular shaped cap pinned on with a small roll pin. The cap is only on the three lugs and not the round threaded part of the flash hider. I didn't want to hammer on the roll pin so not to break the lug. I measured the center of the pin from the front and measured the same distance 180 degrees on the other side where the hole will be between the other two lugs. After drilling the hole, I took a small punch and placed the flash hiders lug with the roll pin on a vice so the roll pin would pass through the jaws. You can also use a wood block with a small hole. This EMG far exceeded my expectations for quality, color of the finish and detail to a real Colt M16A1 rifle. Evike was great to work with and answered all my questions. I will be ordering the WE M16A1 gas blow back rifle as soon as they come back in stock. It has the internal parts that look like a real M16A1. I wish it also has Colt markings but the take down and parts will make up for it. Well, that's it I want to get back to my beauty and clean it. Thanks David.

"Totally sick, I get mad compliments on it. I have an entire Vietnam setup and wanted the early m16. It’s not quite a laser but it is rather accurate once you dial in the hopup.

Struggles with magazines, there is a list on the Evike YouTube review. I’ve used g&p midcap, they feed but wrong era. MAG VN seems to work but can fit poorly in the mag well. The only VN high caps that worked are the A&K. Even the mag in the box wouldn’t feed. I used a dremel on these. The tab on the magazine that holds the BBs in can be too long and the hopup just pushes down. If you grind it down a bit the hopup will push it back and release BBs. I’ve also filed the back of the hopup tube a little bit as well.

All that said, I don’t care it’s worth it. It looks amazing and has the right trades. Mags aside I’ve had zero trouble with it which is more than I can say for some other weapons.
