Hello gang,
Does anybody have any good pictures of The colt 656 sniper rifle and it's model specific features, Front sight base, upper, scope mount or engravings? And maybe it's history, was it ever deployed? Who has them now,etc.... Thanks for the help

Well you aren't going to believe it,.
Since there just isn't much imfo To be found on this one anywhere, I figured I would call the only person Who seems to have some,,,,,, Reed knight! ( no we didn't actually talk) I explained my situation and asked if they wouldnt mind taking some picture for me? the man said , " well,,,,, let me call you back". When he called back he had a 656 in his hand and said the in house Photographer would take some pics and send them my way!! Bad news,,, I was asked NOT to post them anywhere. He did tell me something interesting about the rifle, It is engraved with " colt ar15". Nothing special and no model Specific number. He also said its impossible to use the iron sights, With or without the scope,,, interesting |

It is not like the standard peeps . here is another google pictures of some 656s and there is also a retro middy and some other oddballs too. *this picture has been out for years and years, among others

any chance of Nodak making one of these? That would be sweet. A comparison might be the NDS-32, which took them a long time to sell out of. They did finally sell out after an up-tick in interest, generated by this forum, in proto builds. So, it could happen. Another thing might be how interested NDS is in building one themselves...
