What truly sets this retro carbine apart is its commitment to period-correct aesthetics and materials. The vinyl-acetate-coated aluminum buttstock is a rare and accurate touch, replicating the original design used in the late 1960s. Complementing this are the A1 fixed front and rear sights, as well as the U.S. Property rollmarks—a nod to the carbine’s military lineage. The matte black finish, 1-in-12 twist rate, and selector safety switch complete the package, delivering both form and function. Whether displayed as a piece of American military history or enjoyed on the range, the XM177E2 Retro Classic is a tribute to one of the most recognizable carbines in U.S. service history. For collectors and enthusiasts of Vietnam War-era firearms, this Colt retro release is a deeply authentic and highly desirable offering.
