- description
The M16A3 is the M16 most people picture from late-Cold-War service: a long, slim full-size rifle with the fixed carry handle, A2-style furniture and that clean, purposeful profile. CYMA's version is properly built — a full-metal receiver and outer barrel with a polymer handguard — giving it real heft and authenticity, and the full-length barrel makes it a natural reach-out rifle for woodland and open ground.
What's on the outside
Up top sits the integral carry handle with its built-in rear sight; the front sight post and long handguard finish the period-correct look. The full stock is sling-ready, the battery lives up front in the handguard, and the controls are the familiar M16 layout.

Good to know before you buy
This is the standard full-metal build rather than a MOSFET edition, so it's happiest on an 8.4V or 9.6V NiMH and makes an ideal authentic woodland or re-enactment rifle. Every internal is Tokyo Marui V2 spec, so there's a clear upgrade path whenever you fancy one.
