Colt M4 Carbine Mgpl 5.56 NATO 16.1" FDE Carbine

The Colt M4 Carbine in 5.56 NATO with a 16.1" barrel and flat dark earth (FDE) finish is a direct-impingement rifle built to proven military specifications for law enforcement, military personnel, and trained civilians who demand reliability in demanding environments. This carbine represents decades of refinement from the original Colt platform—the same rifle platform adopted by U.S. military forces worldwide. The M4 profile excels in close-quarters tactical applications, vehicle operations, and scenarios requiring rapid deployment from ready positions.

This Colt M4 features a chrome-lined barrel engineered for sustained accuracy and extended service life, paired with a direct-impingement operating system that cycles reliably across a wide temperature range and ammunition variance common in real-world operations. The 16.1" barrel length balances velocity retention with maneuverability—critical in vehicle, building, and close-range engagements where a full-length rifle becomes a liability. The Flat Dark Earth finish provides corrosion resistance and reduced glint compared to bright finishes, an advantage in tactical operations.

At 9.06 lbs unloaded, the carbine is designed for stability and control, making it suitable for extended shooting sessions.
