M-16 / M16A1 Pistol Grip. This is an excellent reproduction of the correct pistol grip for the M-16 and M-16A1 rifles as well as all early variants made before the A2 series in the 1980's. It differs from the later A2 style in that it lacks the finger groove. These new A1 Pistol Grips are crafted from high-quality Dupont Zytel 30% glass filled nylon so they look right, feel right, and hold up well. Original grips have become scarce and are often in used condition. This is a chance to have a quality, new piece on your rifle. Pistol grip screw and washer available as a separate add on. Learn More

"Hollywood" M-16 Blank Adapter (BFA) for M16 / AR15 Rifles. These are "Hollywood" BFAs and cannot be seen when installed. Simply remove the flash hider and drop in the adapter with the narrow end facing the out towards the end of the flash hider and the broad end against the base of the muzzle. Blank adapters are machined from cold rolled 1018 steel for durability.
Priced per BFA.
We make three different sizes for these blank adapters:
USGI blanks and Euro NATO surplus are the weakest blanks and use the smallest aperture.
LAM blanks are a "mid-grade" blank with a loud retort, but not as loud and not as much flash as the Swanson Hot blanks.
SWANSON HOT blanks are the loudest / strongest blanks on the market.
USGI - for M200/M200A1 blanks (0.080)
LAM - for Atlantic Wall "LAM" mid-power blanks (0.125)
HOT - for Swanson's Motion Picture Blanks (0.175)
CHECK FIRED BRASS FOR DAMAGE. IF THE BRASS IS MANGLED, THE APERTURE IS TOO TIGHT AND NEEDS TO BE OPENED. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, ASK THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR BLANKS WHAT SIZE HOLE HE RECOMMENDS! FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT DIAMETER HOLE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND / OR DAMAGE TO YOUR RIFLE! Learn More
