Product Description
Here is one of our favorite custom builds. We decided to try and rebuild the old school C7 M-16A1 Carbine These are using a true M-4 carbine barrel with a 1/7 twist. The barrel is made of 41V50 steel and the chamber/bore is Chrome Lined. We use a A2 Bird cage flash hider. This is NFA/SBR item. C7 Upper receiver is black finished. Handguards are single wall Mil-Spec.
The 80's and 90's saw major changes to the modern duty rifles carried by US forces. Most notable the adoption of the carbine gas system and shorter barrel over the longer rifles. These advancements where directly related to the requests from special forces units such as SOF-D, Army Rangers, and Navy SEALs. The 723 and 727 were the precursor to the modern M4 we all know today.

Very happy with my purchase. Attached it to my lower and it was accurate right out of the box. Exactly what I wanted.

Colt 727/XM4
I saw these just as I was getting out of the Marine Corps. TNTE built it right and rounds out my collection just perfectly. This upper is a good match with an Anderson or Aero Precision lower! It’s a good off the rack shooter.
