Ken In VA. Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Ran across a M16 yesterday that the paperwork has FBW as manufacturer. I'm niot familiar with this maker. Anyone have any info on it. Guy bought the weapon in 1986! Thanks Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmeisser Guy Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Sounds like a one off maker. I snagged a Beretta 38/42 with RH as the maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Whiskey Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Could it be FB Whitman of Winsted, CT? I know they made DIAS for AR15’s. Edited December 4, 2022 by Bravo Whiskey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicom Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I have no info on their conversions but the company itself has been around since 1953 as per their website doing lathe and machinework. I bet they have a deep bench of skilled men working there. FRANCIS. B. WHITMAN & SON, INC. FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1953 WHAT WE DO BEST.
