Frequently Asked Questions

How can I build a Call of Duty Commando rifle without NFA restrictions?

To avoid NFA regulations for Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs), build your Commando clone using a 'dissipator' configuration. This involves a 16-inch barrel with a full-length sight radius, giving the appearance of a shorter carbine while remaining a legal rifle.

What optic replicates the Black Ops Commando's reflex sight?

The Trijicon RX01 Reflex sight with a 6 MOA amber dot is the ideal choice to replicate the iconic reflex sight seen on the Commando in Call of Duty: Black Ops. This model is becoming increasingly rare.

What parts are used in a Black Ops Commando AR-15 clone build?

Key components include a J-Mac Customs forged lower, Colt surplus CAR-15 stock, modified A2 pistol grip, PSA dissipator upper, surplus A2-style handguards, and a Trijicon RX01 Reflex sight. A Hub City Outdoors sling is used for the signature wrap.

Is the iconic Commando sling wrap practical for shooting?

The signature sling wrap, while visually accurate to the game, can be impractical and may partially obstruct the ejection port. However, the rifle demonstrated reliable function even with this modification during testing.
