This video features firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson discussing the ultra-rare Colt AR-15 Survival Rifle, also known as the Colt Model 608 Survival Rifle. Originally designed for US aircrews, this CAR-15 variant aimed to provide self-defense capabilities in survival situations. The video delves into the firearm's details, its unique design (including being shown 'halved'), its intended survival purposes, and its historical context within the CAR-15 family. The project was ultimately shelved, and only 10 examples are known to survive, with this particular rifle entering a museum collection under mysterious circumstances. The video also offers a comparison to the standard AR-15 rifle and a broader history of the CAR-15 family. The Royal Armouries, the UK's national collection of arms and armour, presents this informative piece.
