The Brownells AR-15 Model 601/M16A1 buttstock assembly in green lets you restore your early AR platform rifle to its original configuration—or build a period-correct retro rifle from scratch. This green buttstock replicates the furniture issued on early Model 601 rifles, the first AR-15s adopted by the US Air Force in 1959. If you're piecing together a classic AR-15 or M16A1, or simply want authentic vintage aesthetics on a modern build, this buttstock captures that iconic look without the hunt for increasingly scarce originals.
The buttstock is styled as a Type D stock with a rear sling swivel and no trap door compartment, making it compatible with the widest range of early M16 and AR-15 models. Assembly does not include buffer tube or other hardware—you'll need those separately. The package comes with an A1 length buttstock screw and instructions to get you started. Note that this is new production furniture designed for modern manufacturing, not an exact replica of original components; some details have been adapted for manufacturing methods and to avoid counterfeit concerns.
Pair this green buttstock with Brownells' matching handguard set and pistol grip to dress out your rifle in period-correct furniture. Whether you're a collector, a retro-build enthusiast, or simply appreciate the lines of early AR platform rifles, this buttstock assembly delivers the look and function of the originals that armed American servicemen and women for decades.

It will also work on M16A1 and other early generation rifles introduced after 1963, though the green color is period-correct for the earlier 601.
