Armscor M1600R with Collapsible stock by Armscor (Philippines) – Deactivated

The Armscor M1600 Manufactured by Armscor (Philippines) is a semi-automatic rifle made by Armscor (formerly Squires Bingham Co.). The rifle bears a resemblance to the AR-15/M16 family of firearms but is chambered in .22 LR. As they are two entirely different firearms, there is no interchangeability 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. This is a reasonably accurate semi-automatic rifle for plinking.

As compared to the AR-15-style rifles, chambered in 5,56x45mm cartridge, the M1600 has less recoil, as it is chambered in the weaker .22LR (LR standing for long rifle) making it easier to handle. This rifle is suitable for hunting small game.
