Whats that gun called?

[American Patriot]

M4 carbine

[elguapo]

CAR-15

[chiyiguo]

M-733 :backhand:

[Ratamacue]

Definitely not an M4. The M4 has a longer, step-cut barrel and an A2-style sight that can be removed.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA: Indonesian policemen conduct search operation at the Jakarta International airport 01 June 2004 after some chemicals was found from a Aceh passenger's suitcase. The airport security found suspected bomb last week.


Who can ID this rifle?

[American Patriot]

Looks like an FN FNC but I'm probably wrong again for not studying the picture longer :lol:

[thatguy96]

Indonesia produces an FNC clone (the handguard shape is slightly different, and IIRC the gun is tweaked to a degree kinda like the AK5) under license if I'm correct, and they also produce the ultra-short you see in that pic.

(AP Photo/Luis Romero)Whats that gun called?Hmm.. A2 body, A1 sight, 290mm length barrel (11,5" for those strange creatures which don't usew metric system), it is one of M16A2 Commando family probably M733 or M733A.

[REMOV]

M4 carbineI'm afraid not. Note the sight (A1 version) and short barrel without so-called "step-cut".

[thatguy96]

it is one of M16A2 Commando family probably M733 or M733A.
Last I checked the forward assist was no longer an optional feature, which is all the A designation was ever used to describe. There is only a Colt Model 733 from what I've seen. Could easily be wrong though. Its odd too, on the sights, because the 733/735 has A1 rear sights, but the flat top 933/935 then has A2 rears because Colt's removable carry handles are A2 only.
