CAR 15 = Colt Commando?
Does anybody know if the CAR 15 and the Colt Commando was in fact the same rifle?
Sources differ on the barrel length, some say 10.2in and other 12in, but it apparently was the most compact version of the Colt M16.Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving with a well preserved body...

Re: CAR 15 = Colt Commando?
The difference in 'barrel length' is down to the military NOT counting the length of the flash hider, whilst the civilians do. Therefore 10.5" IS 12"... and 14.5 is 16, etc.
