Back in the day gun companies used to show the MSRP in their ads. Now they just show you a video game trailer
its on PSAs website for $1199.99 right now
i think a lot of sites don't allow it now that way people cant accuse youtube and others of being involved with gun selling
UA-cam banned it and so did several states
Guys lol, there are still gun companies that do this, like PSA for example. It’s more likely they just don’t want you to see how overpriced the shit is
The msrp is on the Springfield Armory website. It's transparent and easy to find.
Please build M16A4 and M16A1 models!
They used that in Iraq, right?.
Don't forget the US Air Force's Model 604. Probably the best of the M16s.
@podsmpsg1 In 1990/91 Desert Storm, we used Model 604s, GAU-5, XM-177s, M16A1s and primarily M16A2s.
In Iraqi Freedom 2003, we used M16A2s, M16A4s, M4s & M4A1s. Later on, M4A3s.
@@donwyoming1936 Thanks.
Just got get the FN version
The A2 is the best fixed sight AR configuration. Hopefully these have all the modern M4 internal upgrades.
And yes it does. 😅
For a full rifle system its perfect. For a short system like a 733 or car15 (10in) then the a1 sites are perfect.
@@stepbrochungus7722 I like the A2 large aperture for CQB.
@@FunkyPertwee the reason why i state that is because your windage and elevation won't really be changed at closer ranges if you for for irons. The a2 does have a great apreture. Its just a bit too much on a collapsed stock.
@@stepbrochungus7722 I understand but for me having the large peep is worth weighing an ounce more for adjustments I won't use.
I loved my issued M16A2 back in the day. Accurate & reliable. Always scored as Expert on the Marine Corps KD range. I wish i had the eyesight now, like i did back then.
Time to get those glasses now!
Don't we aII my friend. As a 'crute they tested me at 20/15; of course that was 55 years ago.
It's good to see Springfield getting away from the cringe massive logo. Subtlety is a plus on guns unless you're trying to appeal to the people who put red anodized parts and punisher logos all over their builds.
I was in the Army from 2015-2018, yet my first - and best - rifle was an M16A2.
This is amazing. I look forward to snagging one eventually
That old girl brings back some wonderful memories! Saved my ass on more than a few occasions. My go to shtf rifle, would just put a good optic for greater hit probability at longer ranges.U.S.M.C. 93-97.
Awesome Rifle!!!

M4 feed ramps are a nice touch
not clone accurate but I doubt most people will care
Why, you plan on shooting full auto to make use of those speed ramps?
@@SAR0311 Someone might slap the upper on a registered lower to make an A3. You don't know.
I won't be shooting full auto, BUT the best thing about the AR is how standardized it is. It's a pain to deal with uppers that don't have AR feed ramps if for whatever reason you need or want to replace major components. I know from experience.
@@SAR0311 What does full auto have to do with it? The M4 feed ramps are a different angle that supposedly make feeding more reliable so the benefit is there for semi auto too. However the issue is it has part of the ramps cut into the actual aluminum upper which means you'll have issues if you put a barrel extension on that has M16 feed ramps, since they can hit the bottom part of the M4 ramps in the upper and underride the barrel extension.
I was deadass just thinking about getting an AR (AK guy here) and SA drops this, wow
Cries in California 😢
Same in New York :(
@Dragon-77D9
Pistol grip is your issue. You can easily get a 10 rounder, I'm sure.
Could you get a grip with a paddle and pair that with a 10 round mag to make it state compliant?
I know it's lame but if you really want it you probably could make it state compliant with those.
You could also move to Texas or something too but I know that's much less reasonable.
I thought Oregon and Washington state are relaxed on their restrictions. Those are just north of California.
For New York you could move south to Florida for one of the biggest "pro gun" states in the union. Maybe Pennsylvania or West Virginia by New York.
@@theodorebear6714 muzzle devices of any kind are also illegal. Plus bayonet lugs.
Just have to nut up and move. I got my CCW in 1 week when I moved to GA. Now we have constitutional carry, anyone can carry.
Will you also bring back the Bayonet Lug in your M1A Lineup?
Are you not aware of all the drive by bayonettings we would have ? A bayonet lug would make these rifles dangerous .
Commiefornia won't allow that.
@@toddbrooks679as if shooting a bullet wasn't dangerous enough...
@toddbrooks679 what really sucks is when they drive by and throw a Mosin Nagant with the bayonet attached at you. Then you get impaled by a 12 lb
tree trunk (that still, somehow fires reliably...)
If I bought an M-1A the first thing I’d do is source a bayonet lugged flash suppressor. It just looks wrong with no bayonet lug.
I miss the m1a super match.
Well done!
Awesome, Springfield! Keep it up.
A piece of history? Now I feel old.
Hey Springfield, when are you going to reintroduce the M1A Bush Rifle? PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!
hopefully never because thats a stupid boomer gun
When are they going to reintroduce the m1861 rifled musket???
@@jemerage8885 That would be pretty rad, especially among Civil War reenactors.
Now why can't you like both?
thats an awesome rifle.. i need one..
This, along with Brownells Colt retro scope is the must have M16 look. Good job Springfield
Oh my goodness yes!
Definitely a must but this year at some point!! I've always wanted a M16 style rifle!!
Same here. I have loved the M16A2 since I was twelve!
We reliving Gunny PTSD with this one!
Very nice much love to the a2! Next the a1
Nice!
Looks gorgeous. I will take one please.
Would go out and by one today and a M1A, but wait I live in Illinois 😒😒. So I have a few M1's and love the sound of cling, the sound of freedom😊😊
Seems more the sound uf not freedom. You know, since you can't have the other ones you want and all
you can still buy a m1a in Illinois you just have to get it with a muzzle break and 10 round magazines
I don't understand how they can make this in Illinois since it is banned. Pretty sure manufacture is part of the law.
get used to the cling of chains..."americans"
Dammit Springfield. Now I gotta save up for this one too.
Brings back memories. 91-95 USMC
Dammit...... Fine. I'll buy it. 😄😄😄
I agree, I think I need one!
1988-1992 USMC.
Beretta SR.
I like it!
Hope springfield makes a Hbar version that would be awesome
Definitely on my list! I have loved the M16A2 since I was twelve, and have always wanted one. It is a beautiful rifle, and I still see it as superior to the AK-47.
Sa 16a2 dope im get one
YES ! ! ! ! !! ! Army 1994 approved !
I fell in love with the new Springfield M16A2, its markings seem so authentic. I love to see M16A1 from them. Great video.
👉👍👈🖖
Looks amazing, but I get the feeling its gonna be out of my price range. I hate being poor. 😞
I built a clone for under $500. It started out as a A4 clone, then I was able to score a A2 upper for cheap and replaced the flattop upper with it. It isn’t perfect, but it scratched my itch.
@@latigomorganthat is exactly what I did with my A3 clone and mine came out to around $550
May i ask what brand parts you guys used? Been looking to dip my toes in the clone AR builds
@@rogergodwill5517 I accumulated parts over time. Watch the sales, like Black Friday sales, gun shows, and look for good coupon codes.
Mine is made up of a Bear Creek Armory A2 upper (really is an A4 upper but I replaced the flattop receiver with an A2 receiver), a Spikes Tactical lower receiver, Stag Arms mil spec lower receiver parts kit, and a Mossberg A2 stock.
If you aren't willing to piece it all together over time, you'll be better off spending the money on something already built, because you won't save anything paying full retail for parts.
@@rogergodwill5517 Didn't ignore your question. Just keep getting my answer deleted by the censors.
I gotta get this!! I have a Colt version
alright ill buy one
Cool rifle. Springfield, I'll make ya a deal. First, become a Platinum Corporate Sponsor with SAF. Second Help your fellow Illinois residents get the damn PICA act overturned. Then i'll buy one.
I live 40 mins from the Springfield factory but cant buy a damn AR from them if i want to.
Today in things I've never asked for, but definetily I need
I like it
They didn't even bother milling off the forging flash on the back of the carry handle
Do you expect any less from the people who stole the Springfield Armory name and made a pistol with "GRIPZONE" on the grip and expected us to take it seriously?
Springfield is trash.
There is nothing I want more than a M16A4.
Battle tested and burst and semi auto modes? A quad rail system, and a cartridge very common and easy to find.
I'd love to buy one of these and kit it out to look like the NCR Service Rifle.
It will be great to be able to get carry handle uppers with feed ramps without having to wait 9 years on a waiting list.
I’ll take it.
Waiting to see the variant with the 3-round burst again
Was issued and qualified on a rifle damn near identical to that at Fort Blister Texas in summer of 1982. Dumbest thing I ever did (Summer on White Sands).
I see what's next on my wish list.
The 80s was the change over to the M16A2 models started. They also began replacing some older parts on the M16A1s and such. Some of the older triangle handguards had ended up broken and worn out after may years and decades of combat/training.
The 90s are so back!
Took you guys a while. FN done already beat you to the punch by at least a year.
I believe they only make an A4 and M4
FN is astronomically better than Springfield too.
@@Slay_No_More I agree, and the price refelcts it, lol
@@Jazzman-bj9fq Pretty sure FN doesn't make an A2
@@redtra236 Well they have the A4, closest config to an A2.
Yes
I would have preferred the vietnam era one with the triangle handguards. And sell it as an upper only option.
I carried the M16A4 in Afghanistan made by FN. They are pricey ($1800). Great rifle. Maybe SA can make it too but without the high price tag.
Wish I was American so I could own stuff like this
Oh I love retro ar
It's a shame that so many companies are going for Retro AR15s, but not one company is trying to price their rifles competitively.
Springfield Armory coming in at $1200, PSA-H&R sitting at $1200, Brownell used to sell theirs at $1200. It's not like these rifles aren't worth the money, but it's strange no one has tried to shift the market prices down to the $900-$1000 price range to improve sales. Most people are going to keep buying Ruger or S&W carbines at $700 and not think twice when they see these are not priced similarly.
Sure, these have more of a niche market appeal, but they wouldn't be so niche if the prices didn't make them remain so.
I built the same rifle just in the A4 configuration for about $750 ish, and that was with an original FN premium barrel and all premium components. I understand the nostalgia but as someone who actually was issued an A2 and A1, all around the A1 was the superior weapon. Leave it to the government to F something up. For anyone that said the A2 was only a 1/2 pound heavier is lying.
Now will the original triangle hand guard fit that gun?
Nah…….. had both M-16 A1 & A2.
I’ll take my A1 with rock and roll any day
We need an A4 model now also
Oh fuck.......
I'm.... im.... IN LOVE
I wish Springfield Armory would bring back their old school model 1911 "Hi-Cap" .45auto back into production again?
I had a 1911 "Loaded" model. Nice piece. Just too big for a carry.
Next version will offer a removable carry handle.
Is it Cerakote or something like Norrell’s molyresin?
I NEED TRIANGLES!!!!
I don't need, I don't need it...........I NEEEEED IT!
Are you going to make these with M4 feed ramps
NVM I just watched the rest of this
We want the A1
How much ?
It'sa national secret. You have to call 'em
Like 1200~
1250 MSRP on the website.
Is there going to be an m4 version?
Ahh, with the forced trigger rest component would make it a real replica of M-16A2😉
Ah, except it wouldn't at all.
Definitely not since an A2 is semi/burst most of the time(some models especially export models are semi/full auto though)
High shelf or low shelf?
How are you making this when it is illegal to do so in Illinois?
You seem to be a bit confused, the law doesn't prohibit them from making these as a manufacturer it prohibits them from selling assault weapons to IL residents. They can still make them for out of state/government sales even in state.
@@redtra236 does that really make sense?
@@hellishcyberdemon7112No and neither does continuing to for for the pedocrats that make dumb laws, but IL is a prime example of getting what you vote for.
🇺🇸🦅💀
Please take the Brand mark off the bolt carrier. Keep it clean
Retro rifle! Curious what MSRP will be?
I’d guess about 1000 bucks or so. That’s all I’d pay.
I would have liked the m4 configuration but oh well.. this is cool i guess
Palmetto State Armory has them on todays daily deal for $1,200
$1249 of springfields website
@@Zantar45 Definitely overpriced for this IMO.
Thanks for that nonfunctional burst selector, really appreciate it
How about another run of 1911's in 38 super? And go back to the old slide markings the new one's look ridiculous.
I'd love if they brought back the old slide markings.
Does it include the bayonet? It would actually be cool if it included the bayonet.
🤤🤤
Is it weird Springfield celebrating the platform that quickly replaced their last service rifle? Not hating on it I love both the M1A and AR-15 platforms. PS please sell the Hellion barrels, I'd love to swap the 16" out for the new 20".
Old hammer forged barrel?
carry handle gang
SA-16A1 when???
Anyone looking for a carry handle M16 I really recommend the A1 not the A2. The problems with A2s are quite extensive. The barrel design is literally based on a myth that was debunked before they could stop it from becoming a feature of the rifle. As a result, the muzzle end of the rifle is quite heavier than it should be. Second, the butt stock length was extended for basically no practical reason. The A1 length is much much better for 99% of people. Third, the notch in the pistol grip basically does nothing other than just exist. Fourth, the sighting system is over complicated for no reason other than the fact that the marine corps wanted to be able to shoot farther than the combat effective range of the caliber. Lastly, the 1/7 twist causes a loss of velocity in 55gr ammunition and also results in a loss of accuracy vs a 1/12 twist rate barrel. The 1/7 twist rate was designed for heavy tracers and M855 is an awful variant of 556 that completely fails to do what it was made for.
Get an A1. You will be glad you did.
Why they replace the A1 with the A2?
@@tomb6593 Because the military wanted to update the rifle. The only thing that really changed for the better was the hand guards and the shell deflector. Everything else was pretty much for nothing.
You are correct but you are not talking to gun people who will understand or care. The only real improvement that was needed was the rifling twist to stabilize the M855 tracers. The then updated rear side aperture that was insisted upon by the USMC was only practical for competition and long-range shooting, which the 5.56mm doesn't have the mass or legs to be useful upon impact at those long distances. It was only ever useful for Garrison type on-base, known distance range, slow fire shooting. Never utilized or ever practical in the field or real-world conditions. But it's still kinda nice having the bragging rights to say that we qualified at 500 yards with iron sights. No one ever adjusted range or elevation in real life firefights down range.
The A1s and older variants saw a lot of use between combat, training, and guard detail from in a variety of service from multiple decades. Parts wore out and had to be replaced. In the 1980s the Belgians also upgrade the. 233/5.56 cartridge to get better range, accuracy, and stopping power. This was another reason for the upgrades as well.
@@AMT4245The 3 round burst was just stupid. At least the Canadians didn't bother with it with the C7 which was their better built M16. All it does is make the trigger system more complicated than it needs to be, and it just makes more sense to fire in bursts in a full auto setting.
Please give this to ALL guntubers! This is almost at echelon. Who do I contact to get my free guns?
Springfield is cornering the market for the Vietnam history enthusiasts.
First, the M1A and now this.
Honestly, I'd go for an M1A, but for a lighter modern rifle I think I'd prefer an MCX from sig (price not withstanding).
I'm sure their M16 reproduction is great, though. Especially if that's the type of thing you like.
So MSRP? Please
Arma Reforger made them release this lol
Now make a Springfield 1903 reproduction.
I think people who like this might buy it.
People who don’t like it probably won’t buy it.
It's funny because people used to spend more money than this costs now to make their A2s look like literally anything else.
Once the unconstitutional bans are lifted in my state, I'll definitely add this to my consideration list.
2k?
What's the point of the "non functional burst fire"?
Nostalgia.
Would you guys consider making an American made AK? I know there are a growing number of American manufacturers, but I have always loved the Springfield build quality.
@@boffa-deez I've handled a couple of M1A's that were solid as heck and amazing to shoot. I also carry a Hellcat as my EDC and trust it with my life!
@@isaacrhodes4617yeah but the hellcats have quite literally nothing to do with SA manufacturing
@@Clangokkuner I'm not necessarily implying SA AK's would be made in the US either. It was just a pipe dream anyways, I highly doubt Springfield would touch the Kalash
Is this Ca legal?
No. Not NY either. Pistol grip, detachable mag and compensator make it illegal. Need some other grip, straight barrel with no threads, and 5 round mag. Someone else can chime in but I don't know if you can have a detachable mag in Cali. You can in NY it just can't exceed 5 rounds in NYC and 10 in NY state.
I like how everyone is slowly realizing the .223 is pointless without a 20" barrel.
Nonsense.
LOL
@@gator7082 It’s true, look it up, the 5.56/ .223 was specifically designed for a 20” barrel, this is coming a US Marine that had a M16A4.
@@SgtOddball90 Meaningless is a bit much. 14.5" and 16" still slap the shit out of whatever they hit within 400 meters. But 20" is definitely optimal for sure.
@@ST-zm3lm I’m speaking the truth which no one likes, I had tighter groups and higher velocity with the M16A4 and then I switched to a M4 and immediately notice my groups were wider.
