I think people remembering the CAR just say the first “M4s” had fixed handles. I’ve never seen one and never heard of this until I joined this site. I was a BDE HHC XO in 1998 when the 101st received our M4 and they were normal M4s.

The story of the several thousand M4 marked weapons with A2 uppers delivered in 1994 is mentioned and perpetuated in many places, but until I see one I agree with Scotty. It's a unicorn....pony....:confused:
I have completed the 727 A2 clone with a 16" M4 profile barrel with FN A2 upper,Colt inners and bolt in a Double-Star lower with a Fiberight stock. Handy light accurate carbine with peeps.
