2021年8月5日 · I like to purchase either the xm177e2 or the GAU-5 I checked the cult website and they do not list the gau-5. Anyway I think I like the gau-5 better without the forward button. Who is actually manufacturing these two weapons. Fortunately two weeks ago I don't weakness I sold my Brownells xm177e2. Has anybody bought the new Gau - 5 and compared ...

2016年5月29日 · The USAF didn't believe in the need for a forward assist so they had the slick side upper with the 10" barrel (XM177) and designated it as the GAU-5/A. The XM177E1 was the forward assist army version and was stamped COMMANDO. It was identical to the GAU-5/A except for the forward assist. The E2 was army issue and used the 11.5" bbl.

2005年1月29日 · The GAU-15/A and GAU-16/A are M2 Brownings. The GAU-5/A were XM177s without forward assists purchased by the USAF. The GAU-5/A/A were XM177E2s without forward assists purchased by the USAF. The GUU-5/P are GAU-5s upgraded with 14.5 barrels, some M4 and some Government profile, and M16A1 birdcage flash suppressors.

2022年3月27日 · 2K is a bargain since there were only 500 of them made. I’ve seen them sell for much more. Hell, I paid much more. The original GAU-5/a/a were black, not grey which is why the retro reproduction is black as well. Only 2 I can find for sale on the bet right now.

2015年11月19日 · Tay GAU-5A/A replica and a CQBR replica was used to characterize the similarities and differences shared between the Son Tay carbines and modern SOF rifles. The historical website, Retro Black Rifle, indicates that two types of GAU-5 Carbines were used on the Son Tay raid. Both the GAU-5/A (also known as the Colt Model 610 XM177) and GAU-5A/A (also

2023年10月10日 · The GAU-5's as "mixmasters" is a fallacy. USAF bought GAU-5 carbines starting with the GAU-5/A through (and mostly, in my experience) GAU-5/A/A's. Once they began to wear out they got 14.5" 1/12" barrels and became GAU-5/P's. This was probably for a short time as they had to transition away from M193 ammo.

2014年1月13日 · My GAU-5/A/A and GAU-5/P I had in the Service 1979-1981 had 1/12 inch barrels (11.5" and 14.5", respectively). Knowing full well the Air Force is a master of mix-master, Franken Carbines, An early slab side Air Force model 601 or 602, upgraded first with Gen II stock and probably a 14.5" barrel in the late 70's would have the requisite A1 grip.

2011年7月25日 · There seems to be some discrepancies in the markings of the GAU-5A/A. The Colt in the very nice pic that lt557 posted looks to be marked GAU-5/A/A, while others seem to be marked GAU-5A/A, which would appear to follow the standard marking convention. I’d like to see some other pics if people have them.

2004年11月14日 · Most AR-15, XM16E1, M16E1, M16, M16A1, GAU-5’s, etc… are currently or have undergone upgrades to M16A2-M16A4 specs. Most of the USAF M16’s were being updated by CAPCO in Grand Junction, CO as of two-three years ago.

2016年10月6日 · As best I can remember the lower said Colt AR-15 then M-16 with GAU-5 stamped by it. You could tell it was hand stamped, albeit poorly. Some carbines had the the old info lined out and others were X'ed out. I think one of the GAU's we had an Anniston Army Depot marking on it too. I carried these things like 10-12 years ago so my memory is fuzzy.
