    Colt M16A1 Hydra-Matic Div (last one produced)

    Out of sheer curiousity, I'm wondering if anybody would care to provide a ballpark figure on this:

    Lol no. I doubt it's even on paper. Agency owned.

    Then its worth about $1000 in parts depending on condition and if the parts are all original and have original finish.
    The lower is worthless. Might be worth something to a museum....

    I take in agency trades all the. time. They trade some wild stuff in sometimes.

    Cool to see that.

    Lower is worth about 25 years in jail.

    Yeah it is a display piece. From the googling I've done, apparently it was the "last" rifle to come off the assembly line at the Hyrda-Matic plant in Ypsilanti. GM had fulfilled the contract of 240,000 rifles, but apparently were later awarded another contract a couple years later for a bunch more. The 240,000th was ceremoniously presented to the US Army Weapons Command by the general manager at the Hydra-Matic plant. I thought I remember reading somewhere that it was later re-gifted back to him or somebody else at GM. How we got it, I have no idea. Maybe it was turned in or forfeited, but for all I know, maybe it is on paper and just being loaned to us for display.

    I'm curious though if it were transferable, what the value to a collector might be considering the history.

    There is only one way to determine the true value. That would be selling it, in a well advertised, no reserve auction.

    Would be interesting to see how much it would fetch on Gunbroker

    I’d be willing to bet the Yankee Air Force museum would love this.
