GI Vietnam Era M16A1 Colt Rubber Ducky Trainining Rifle
GI Vietnam Era M16A1 “Rubber Ducky” Training Rifle – Original Colt AR-15 Trainer (Non-Firing)
An exceptional and increasingly scarce piece of Vietnam War–era training equipment, this original “Rubber Ducky” training rifle was produced for U.S. military instruction based on the iconic Colt AR-15 / M16A1 platform. Manufactured during the Vietnam era for realistic field and bayonet training, these rifles were designed to closely replicate the size, balance, and handling characteristics of a live-service weapon—without the ability to fire.
Constructed from a dense rubber composite molded over a reinforced steel frame, this training rifle was built to withstand rigorous drills, close-order practice, and bayonet instruction. It features a functional bayonet lug, allowing soldiers to safely conduct mounted bayonet training exercises. As a non-firing training aid, no FFL is required.

These “Rubber Ducky” trainers were standard issue for bayonet and close-quarters instruction during the Vietnam War period and were produced in far smaller numbers than live rifles, making surviving examples increasingly collectible. Ideal for military collectors, Vietnam War displays, or historic training equipment collections.
A rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of U.S. military training history.
