We had Colt AR’s on Swift Boats in Nam, and I bought a Colt M4 carbine a few years ago...great rifle.
But there is no shortage of AR-platform rifles on the market and the price range and options are amazing.
A few questions for you, sir:
Were the Colt Ar’s you had in Vietnam full auto? Mind if I ask what year(s) you we’re in country? (Just trying to figure out what model they would’ve been)
Thanks for your service! Huge respect for ‘Nam guys. My dad is one.
