wasabiloco Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello. I have a question for the forum. I have an M16a1 with a triangular forend. It is gray. I would like to redo the gun in black. The same black used by H&K. My question is will it affect the guns value. I suspect not. There's nothing special about the gun that makes it collectible. Just a nice Colt. Anyway, I want to put a 416 upper on it and I want the colors to match. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
har1690 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 It's your gun and do with it as you must, buuut, one day you are going to sell it and it being a genuine Colt, that may/will affect its value even if it's a beater. I have a Colt M-16A1 and even though it's not 100% and I like my guns 100% no way would I alter the color. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTAWIL16 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 It’s your gun. Have fun with it. I’ve ruined the value of many guns by spray painting them. But it makes me happy. Do whatever makes you happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baboon Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 As much as I would like a 5 position stock on mine, I won't change the receiver extension for the staked original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
