Colt M4 Commando Built to Suit Indian Army’s Specific Requirement

Colt Defense LLC, one of the world’s leading designers, developers, and manufacturers of rifles and carbines, has recently unveiled its latest innovation in short barrel rifles. The Colt M4 Commando CQB carbine model R0943 was designed to the exacting specifications of the Indian Army and is Colt’s entry in the Ministry of Defence’s CQB Carbine Programme.

Based on Colt’s M4 monolithic upper family of carbines (the advanced colt carbine monolithic receiver system, or ACC-M), this new M4 variant features an integrated Picatinny rail system which affords operators the ultimate in zero retention and increased precision and flexibility when swapping electrooptical and optical aiming devices, as well as other accessories, to suit the demands of dynamic engagement scenarios. In addition, ACC-M family provides a true free-floating barrel for enhanced accuracy.

Featuring a highly-manoeuvrable 9.9" barrel, the M4 R0943 can be comfortably carried by a variety of soldier body-types and in a variety of environments, yet instantly deliver the type of firepower required to outmatch combatants in a wide range of combat missions. The one-piece upper receiver’s locking front sight post helps not only with accidental front sight collapse due to contact with obstacles in a close quarters environment, but it also can be folded away to eliminate co-witnessing with after-market optics.

Enhanced firepower, manoeuvrability and rapid response play a major role in modern warfare. The Colt M4 Commando CQB carbine model R0943 is the weapon of choice when the exploitation of firepower capability in confined spaces is required and where lightweight mobility, speed and violence of action rule.
