Pre-ban Colt w/ a Russian twist, chambered in 7.62x39 (R6830) mfg in 1991/1992 making this 34+ years old. Back when that caliber was dirt cheap after the Berlin wall fell, Colt saw an opportunity to mix the ergonomics of the AR-15 w/ the at the time very affordable 7.62x39. It uses Colt's HBAR chrome lined heavy profile barrel w/ a slower twist rate of 1:12 to stabilize the heavier bullets. America created the iconic historical rifle, the Soviet Union the historical ballistics.
