The M-16 — standing full height over five feet tall.

Hand-built in Boise, Idaho from a 1:1 scale authentic metal replica. Built on an authentic Denix replica (made in Spain), hand-wired and assembled in the USA with American-made internal lamp components — solid steel base and pole, industrial-grade trigger switch, premium socket and wiring. Every weld, every wire, done entirely by hand.

The original trigger operates the on/off switch. Pull it. The light comes on.

This isn't a novelty. It's a conversation piece, a collector's item, and a functional work of industrial art — and one of the most requested pieces I build for veterans and their families.

What makes it one of a kind:
— Authentic 1:1 scale M-16 replica with composite grip, foregrip and stock
— Authentic Vietnam-era M1 helmet shade upgrade available
— Trigger-operated on/off switch — industrial micro switch rated for 500,000 actuations
— Solid steel base and pole
— Black porcelain lamp holder rated for 100W max
— Edison-style filament bulb and shade harp included

Height: 61 inches | Base width: 10 inches

Every piece is built by hand, so heights can vary by an inch or so from one build to the next.

Available variations:
— Open bulb — $1,195
— With industrial black cage — $1,210
— With original Vietnam-era helmet shade — $1,595

The helmet shade is an authentic Vietnam-era M1 combat helmet — not a replica, not a reproduction. A real one, sourced by me and converted by hand into a shade that casts light the way a fire does. No two are ever the same.

The helmet option is limited to what I physically have on the shelf. If it shows as available above, I have the helmet in hand and your gun light ships with it built in. If it's sold out, it stays out until I find another at a price that makes sense — and that can take months.

Made to order — built by hand in 3–4 weeks. Each lamp is unique. Lead times may vary, but you'll hear from me every step of the way. Every lamp is double-boxed and professionally packed with reinforced foam to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

Due to the size and weight of this piece, shipping is $75 flat for this lamp on all domestic orders.

Want it in a finish or color that isn't listed? That's a custom build — see the Custom Trigger-Operated Floor Lamp listing.
