M4 is a military designation as well as a Colt Trademark.
M4gery would work. CAR would work. AR15 carbine would work. But its not technically an M4. |

In 1998 I built a carbine using a Colt 14.5" barrel w/ fixed Vortex on an M4 stamped upper along with a KAC RAS. Due to state regs, I had to go with a Colt semi-auto bolt carrier group.
The lower started out life as part of a Colt MH6601 Match HBAR Sporter. I also added a 1st gen Colt M4 buttstock assembly. I called it an M4 Replica or M4gery, because it never had a select fire lower. It's like a non-gun person calling an AR15 and M16 just because they look similar. |

How much fun do you think I have knowing what to call this thing
  Realistically, an M4 is a Colt with a selector. Everything else is a carbine. |

The IDF likes to cut down barrels too much... it ould be a 9" gun if they built it. Any problems not running a weapon mounted light? I have done it both ways and I like a good SF rail mounted light. |

Then you missed a lot of the A1 carbines that ended up with M4 barrels. Might have a light one day. I can function with it along with a handheld. Not optimal, but sticking with the cheap and simple theme for the truck gun. |

I've just seen a lot of short guns in IDF hands. A status symbol I believe. I have seen pics of M4s in Israeli hands, and they do use lightweight barrels a bit... they have a lot of variation.
I as looking into M500's the other day... it is cheaper to buy both a rail and a light than get an M500. Unbelievable. |
