ArmaLite M4C Carbine – 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem

16" Barrel | Muzzle Brake (18" Overall Length to Muzzle) | Fixed A2 Stock | Carry Handle Sights | Sling Included

OVERVIEW

Offered here is an ArmaLite M4C Carbine chambered in 5.56 NATO. Built by a historically significant name in modern firearms development, the M4C represents ArmaLite's civilian semi-automatic interpretation of the iconic M4-pattern rifle.

This example features a 16" barrel fitted with a muzzle brake, resulting in approximately 18" overall barrel length to the end of the brake. The rifle retains its classic fixed A2 buttstock, detachable carry handle rear sight assembly, A2 front sight base, polymer handguards, and includes a sling and magazine.

ArmaLite traces its heritage directly to the original AR-15 design developed by Eugene Stoner during the 1950s. While many companies now manufacture AR-pattern rifles, ArmaLite remains one of the most collectible and historically recognized names associated with the platform's development.

HISTORICAL NOTES

ArmaLite occupies a unique place in firearms history as the company responsible for developing the AR-10 and AR-15 rifle systems under the direction of designer Eugene Stoner. Although the original AR-15 design was later sold to Colt, ArmaLite continued producing AR-pattern rifles and remains one of the most recognized names associated with the platform's origins.

The M4C models were produced during the era when fixed-stock and carry-handle carbines were common civilian offerings, making them increasingly desirable to collectors seeking period-correct examples of early commercial AR-style rifles.
