    Chinese SF Using M4 Clone?

    While searching for info on Chinese special forces deployment to Syria, I came across this pic.
    Looks like a copy of the M4 carbine; in caliber 5.56x45, judging by the shape of the magazine.

      Ah, so they're Taiwanese soldiers, not Chinese. Thanks. I guess whomever selected that photo for the article was a bit careless. https://en.insidesyriamc.com/2017/11...st-terrorists/

        Can't believe everything you read on the interweb. Especially when it comes to firearms.

        Interesting that they effectively developed and fielded the piston AR equivalent a full 7 years before it became mainstream here in the US. All the people touting the piston here used the AK, Mini 14, and M1 as justification.

        Catchy sig line here.

          They are Chinese. Just not the Communist variety.

              The real Chinese government in exile, while the communist revolutionary government occupies the levers of power in mainland China.

              Vietnamese use AR15 Commando variants as well, and recently Israeli IMI Galil Aces:



              NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

              CCW, CQM, DM, Long Range Rifle Instructor

              6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbooks & chamber brushes can be found here:

                Google the Colt Model 703 (if you don't already know about it). Colt developed it in 1969.

                  Key word was mainstream. Lot of stuff designed way back when in the before time, that it took someone else to market it and make it sell.
