orphan date July 2010 The Armscor M16 22 or m1600 is a semi automatic repeating rifle made by Armscor Philippines Armscor . The rifle bears a resemblance to the Colt Manufacturing Company Colt M16 Rifle M16 family of firearms but is chambered in .22 LR . As they are two entirely different firearms, there is no interchangability of parts. There are some prominent differences between the two. For example, the carry handle on the M16 22 is considerably smaller and moved farther forward along the body of the rifle than the Colt, and the stock of the Armscor model is made of wood as opposed to plastic. There is also a model with a collapsible stock designated m1600r . The rifle was conceived out of want of an M16 like rifle in .22 caliber.
