Yes, then you will notice little nuances like: that shouldn't have a bayo lug, and that 30 rndr is just wrong...

The XM177s were used by Special Forces.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Commando There is some good info here, but the pics are severly lacking.

world.guns.ru/assault/as50-e.htm <--- poorly translated from Russian in some parts.

No bayo lug, but 30 rounders were correct..
