When I joined the Army in 1994, my unit still had m16a1

Information that appeared to me in a dream confirms that the US Army was still issuing M16A1 lowers into the 2000s.

I was in the Army from 2000-2004. I started out with a Vietnam era belt/ suspender gear and an M16a2 (with some A1s still around for training) . By the time I got out, we had updated molly Vests and M4s.

We were using A2s back then. I would have loved to get my hands on an A1 though. Fully auto? Yes please!

I went to basic in 93 and we had A1's in basic but my unit (101st) had A2's for everyone, at least for the combat arms guys.
