This video provides an in-depth look at the Colt Model 601, the first M16 variant adopted by the U.S. military, specifically the Air Force in Southeast Asia around 1960. Experts from Brownells highlight its unique features, including the waffle magazine, cast-style front sight, brown fiberglass handguards, triangle charging handle, and the distinctive 'no fence' lower receiver. The review emphasizes the historical significance and evolutionary steps from this early model to later M16 variants.

This is a preview for a three-part series from American Rifleman TV focusing on the "Men and Guns of Vietnam."
