Last night I was sifting through the Small Arms Review Archive and I found this interesting rifle. It is a U.S. Property Marked XM177 with a North Vietnamese Stock. According to SAR, the translation of Hai-Quân Công-Xuong is, "Naoy Factory," but google translate says, "Navy-Army-Workshop" (because we know google translate is precise  ).  These other two rifles have been seen here before, but I thought these three amigos deserved to be together... This rifle is in Cambodia and was still kicking at the time of this video in 2015. Evidently, the rifle was "shooting high" but I think these boys just couldn't handle the recoil (especially with no comp). Throws a big flame as a result too.          And finally, there's this guy. An XM177ish upper with a handguard made from a 57mm recoilless rifle casing. Check out the upper receiver. Where'd it go?  |

I don't really like carbines, but I kinda want one of those stocks. Are you saying you don't own one yet?
