Step into the annals of military history with our latest offering, the "Commando 10.7" Barrel Assembly. This assembly, complete with the KAK XM177 Long Flash Hider, is a masterful blend of classic design and modern engineering. The barrel assembly is reminiscent of the CAR-15, a weapon synonymous with the MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War. Our partnership with Potomac Armory and Colt ensures a non-NFA barrel option, bringing you closer to the battle-hardened era of the CAR-15.
When the topic of legendary special forces comes up, several units come to mind. Those who are only slightly acquainted with the topic may bring up the Navy SEALs or Delta Force. People more familiar with the topic will mention Marine Raiders or Airforce PJs. One unit that gets left out of many of these discussions is MACV-SOG, the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group. SOG units worked behind enemy lines on a variety of mission types utilizing new equipment and tactics that would become the standard in future conflicts. A weapon that was ubiquitous with Vietnam era SF was the CAR-15, aka the Commando. This short barreled variant of the M16 would set the pace for all future carbine variants. While multiple weapons would be called Commandos, one common feature was the distinct muzzle device.
Inspired by the Legendary CAR-15: The "Commando 10.7" Barrel Assembly draws its design inspiration from the famous CAR-15, the preferred weapon of the MACV-SOG. It was these special forces units that worked tirelessly behind enemy lines, shaping the future of combat tactics and equipment.
Colt "Crane Style" Barrel: At the heart of our assembly is the robust Colt 10.3" "Crane Style" barrel. The barrel comes with a pinned front sight base, a carbine-length gas port location, and a government contour, providing the perfect foundation for your build.
XM177 Long Flash Hider: To further enhance the assembly's authenticity, we've incorporated the KAK made 6" XM177 Long flash hider. This muzzle device is pinned and welded, extending the total barrel length beyond the 16" mark.
Pre-installed Delta Ring and Colt "Skinny" Handguards: Your convenience is our priority. The "Commando 10.7" Barrel Assembly comes pre-installed with a delta ring and a set of Colt "skinny" handguards, rounding off your package perfectly.
Here at Charlie's, our love of clones encompasses all military rifles. Because there are so many variants of the CAR-15, we asked Potomac Armory to put together a kit for our customers who want a non-NFA barrel option. They started with a Colt 10.3" "Crane Style" barrel with a pinned front sight base, carbine length gas port location, and government contour. The muzzle device is a KAK made 6" XM177 Long flash hider. This is pinned and welded to bring the total barrel length above the 16" mark. The delta ring assembly is pre-installed and a set of Colt "skinny" handguards round out the package.
