Were there any models built with these approx specs? Specifically a 14.5 pencil barrel, M4 flattop upper receiver.

IIRC, the only model that gets close to that description is the AR6720 Lightweight Carbine, but it has a 16" barrel.Quote:

But they have flat top uppers (possibly not technically M1913, Diemaco for a time was using a rail on their uppers that was similar but not dimensionally identical to the M1913) and 14.5” lightweight barrels (that are .750 at the FSB though, vs .625)
Thank you, that is what I meant, military carbines. I should have been more specific.Quote:

If I wanted I could SBR it but have kept it at 16 inches as my 6933 gets most of the trigger time. The 6933 is 11 1/2 inches with a pencil barrel.
OK, so the clues given here led me to the C8NDL, one of the C8 variants used by de Nederlands. Flattop, pencil barrel and a Diemaco rail. Cool.
