Colt 607: The First AR Carbine
This video delves into the Colt Model 607, the first AR carbine developed by Colt. It highlights the rifle's shortened barrel (10 inches) and unique collapsing stock. The description mentions the common use of a small suppressor to mitigate the significant concussion from the short barrel and notes the limited production run of approximately 50 units with variations. The video also touches on the experimental use with SEALs in Vietnam and how the Model 607's development led to the later Colt Commando/CAR-15 models (609/610) with longer barrels and modern telescoping stocks. It explains the action is identical to a standard AR but details significant differences in the early carbine design.
