During that time M16A1’s in serial number range 752444 to 899999 were manufactured. The rifle serial number that I have places the original rifle being manufactured in 1967. This resulted in the XM16E1 ‘Standard A’ being re-designated the M16A1. The XM16E1 reached ‘Stanadard A’ classification in February of 1967. A V has been added to the end of the serial number to differentiate the new production rifle from the original production rifle and the V also acknowledges its association with the Vietnam War. All serial numbers used in production of the CRM16A1 rifles replicates the serial number of a Vietnam War era rifle.
Production of the CRM16A1 is limited to 2500 rifles. The Colt CRM16A1 rifle is the first rifle in the Colt “AR-15 Military Classics” line of AR-15 rifles. Shipping is restricted to: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Vermont You can read a short article on the CRM16A1 on the Guns Digest website at this link:
