Colt CR6762 7.62x39mm Carbine 16.1" Barrel 30+1 Capacity

The Colt CR6762 Carbine delivers reliable 7.62x39mm performance in a proven AR-15 platform configuration. This carbine combines Colt's manufacturing standards with the versatility of the popular Soviet cartridge for tactical applications and sporting use.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 5.56/.223 carbines, this model chambers the harder-hitting 7.62x39mm cartridge while maintaining familiar AR-15 controls and ergonomics. The 16.1-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for the cartridge while keeping overall length manageable. Factory configuration includes proven components like the A2 flash hider and Magpul MBUS rear sight for immediate deployment.
