For more than 50 years the
famed silhouette of the M16/M4 has only had one major and several minor
changes. Barrel lengths and buttstocks have changed, but more or less
the evolution of America’s right arm has proceeded apace with each
generation of warrior making her their own. In that time, the sight of
the M16/M4 in the competent grasp of young Americans has meant hope to
countless millions of people around the globe.
With
the advent of the USASOC URGI, that quintessentially American
silhouette has changed forever. The Geissele Super Modular Rail MK 16
handguard, hammer forged barrel, and carbine gas system work in concert
for a package that delivers measurable increases in hit probability.
Designed to take the full rigors of the new M855A1 (AB57) ammunition,
the USASOC URGI also takes full advantage of its capabilities. Once the
USASOC URGI is installed on an existing system, it essentially makes for
a brand new weapon. The USASOC URGI is a near-clone of the upper
receiver group currently in service with USASOC.
NFA DISCLAIMER/WARNING: The non-pinned and welded clone URGI upper
receiver does not meet the 16" minimum barrel length requirement, and
requires registration and a tax stamp with the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) when assembled into a complete
rifle. Additional state and local restrictions may apply. It is the
sole responsibility of the buyer to comply with any and all applicable
laws.
