The True Story Behind the Mattel M16 Rifle

I didnt have many toy guns.
Living in the woods, i got a BB gun and by 8 yrs old had a stevens .410, then a .22 to add then a Weatherby as i got to my teenage years. Shot animals for the table my whole childhood. Mom&Dad were quite well off, but dad was a woodsman and preferred fresh wildlife over the meat market . Longed for a “M16” watching all the 70’s-80’s war movies.
Wasnt 30 till I shot one. Dept of Defense wouldnt take me for my eyesight. Been AR15 obsessed since …

You're lucky. Dad never let me have a BB gun in the house. "Guns are not toys". I did get a Mi Carbine for my 6th birthday with one 5rd clip for hunting. YES CLIP! Back then the words clips and magazine where interchangeable like a pistol could be a revolver or an auto. Get over it. FYI dad was a WWII vet and one of the Frozen Chosen. He always referred to it as a clip. Still miss him maybe that's why nit pickers twist my tail, or maybe I'm just a grumpy old, Fudd SOB ;)
As for Mattel, I know what I saw with my own eyes, and that all I got to say.

I had 2, 2 different assignments. The first was Colt and the second was an H&R. The H&R was older and was a joy to shoot, slick and smooth..
