New HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON Retro M16A1 Style 20" 5.56 1:7 Rifle - Iconic A1 Triangle Handguard - Black

The M16A1, an improved version of the original M16, was introduced in 1967. It featured several modifications, including a chrome-plated bore, a new rifling twist to stabilize bullets better and adjustments to the forward assist mechanism.

H&R, along with other manufacturers like Colt (the original designer of the M16) and General Motors’ Hydramatic Division, was contracted by the U.S. government to produce the M16A1 rifles to meet the high demand during the Vietnam War.

This decision to involve multiple manufacturers was typical for large-scale military production, ensuring a steady supply of weapons and mitigating the risk of a single point of failure in the supply chain.

The involvement of H&R in the production of the M16A1 is part of its broader legacy in the American firearms industry, showcasing its adaptability and capacity to produce critical military equipment during periods of high demand, such as the Vietnam War era.
