Well... I got a set of these original triangular shaped M16 forearm pieces in a trade. The ones we used to joke about being made by Mattell.

Anybody got a clue about value? I did a few web searches and don't come up with much.

Anyone here need them? Maybe we can work something out. Even if no one here needs them, any help you can provide in the way of value would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

A.K. Are those for a 18 or 20 inch barrel?

I don't really know, but they are right at 12 inches long. Does that help?

I much prefer the M16A1 handguards. When I went through boot in '85 and then to Fort Drum ... I really liked the A1 variant alot. I already had an AR15 at home so it was familiar to me and the added benefit of a fun switch was something different.
When they took away our A1's and gave us the dumbed down A2.... was a sad fella. Now our troops are saddled with the M4 abomination anymore.
As to parts , well the A1 parts are around in gobs... just the 1/12 twist barrels are super scarce and pricey.
