Colt M16A1 Bowman Parts Kit Build | Part 6 - Barrel Install and Final Assembly

In this video, I complete the final assembly on my Bowman M16A1 parts kit, including the barrel install, front sight block, small parts, and furniture. This isn't a tutorial, it's a build log, so expect to see me make mistakes and do some things wrong or out of order before I get it right. Anyway, the next video will be a test fire and range report!
