Armscor M16 22
The Armscor M1600 is a semi-automatic rifle made by Armscor (formerly Squires Bingham Co.) chambered in.22 LR. The rifle bears a superficial resemblance to the AR-15/M16 family of firearms, although with no interchangeability of parts. There are some prominent differences between the two. For example, the carry handle on the M1600 in.22 LR is considerably smaller and moved further forward along the body of the rifle than the Colt, and the stock of the Armscor model is made of wood as opposed to plastic.
