| Need some clarification on lower markings . When & where do the Commando marked lowers fit in ? Why were some marked Commando & others XM177E1 or E2 ? Anybody out there got any good pics of lowers & serial numbers with any of the above markings ? Planning on building SBR XM177E1 would like it to be 100 % accurate with a legit serial number from a demil. Any help greatly appreciated. Been sitting on some of the parts 20 years probably. Time to get on with it. Semper Fi Kenneth |

When: February 1966 when ACSFOR (Asks-For)...put in an order for the Army. First use of the word.
Like any other good marketing ploy, a catchy name sells better than an XM#. Where: Between the Car-15 (607) and the first XM177's. XM177 to the USAF and the XM177E1 to the Army. January 1967 first official type designation for the first time. See pages 230-231 TBR V1
