Product Description
That sounds like an impressive build! Recreating the old school C7 M-16A1 Carbine with modern enhancements must have been quite a project. Using a true M-4 carbine barrel with a 1/7 twist and 41V50 steel for durability, along with a chrome-lined chamber and bore, ensures high performance. The Surefire 3P flash hider, pinned and welded for compliance, is a smart choice to avoid NFA/SBR classification. The black-finished A2 upper receiver and YHM Drop Quad Rail handguards add a sleek and functional touch. It's clear a lot of thought and expertise went into this build!
The 80s and 90s saw significant changes to the modern duty rifles carried by US forces, most notably the adoption of the carbine gas system and shorter barrels over longer rifles. These advancements were directly related to requests from special forces units such as SOF-D, Army Rangers, and Navy SEALs. The 723 and 727 models were the precursors to the modern M4 we know today.
