Over the last few weeks I have been snatching up some rare photos from the history of the AR15/M16 here and there. I was waiting until I had enough to share into a group. All or most of these will come up again in some future articles.
This first photo is from the ex-owner of AR15.com and now Brownells made man. Ed Sr. Holding an M16 with a first gen night vision optic with IR lamp.
Below is a gentleman shooting the rare Colt M16 sniper variant with ARTII optic.
Scattered Shots 
I believe that these photos were from the collection of the late Rob Roy of Colt. He started in engineering and finished his career as the VP of International Sales.
The Japanese fellow in one photo appears to be Colt field tech Koni Ito.
