Military Clones

[SouthernSlammed]

I am interested in the civilian collection of the military clones. Is this picture the best reference of what the four types of rifles that were/are used by the military?


I know that the first one, the civilian version, is the Colt A2 sporter? The third is the M4? What are the other civilian version models? Is the 6920 supposed to be the M4 set up?

Sorry about the lack of knowledge questions, someone school me!

Subscribed. I really want to build one that has that original look. Hopefully next year.

Absolutely! I have always loved the A2 with fixed handle and the 20" barrel.
I'm really interested in a source that has all specs of the rifles themselves. Will certainly help in piecing one together.

Colt M4:

I know the top is a re-pop later A-1 With birdcage flash hider, fenced mag release button and not the early 3 prong. Second A-2. I don't know what barrel length is on that M-4. On your own after that. For some reason I forget what stock was longer, A-1 or A-2? In the pic, looks like the A-1 is shorter.

M4 should have a 14.5 inch unpinned barrel. I'd say these look good enough for movie use.

Was a slab side something the military had, or was there always the forward assist?

I cant say for sure, but was told they had a round button before the tear drop then went back to round. How true? Don't know. I know early lowers mag release were smooth around the button.

I built this one but need to get a better lower and not one that a F-250 can run over...lol. (inside joke) Also found out a SP-1 lower will not work because of the take down pins. Just found that out. I need also to put a smooth delta ring on it.
