Developed in 1985, the Colt SMG was targeted at the American law enforcement market as a domestic alternative to the Israeli Uzi or German MP5, using Colt's own AR-15 rifle as a base. The result is a straight blowback pistol caliber automatic carbine with near identical controls and operation to the AR. Post front and two-leaf rear sights, with a birdcage flash hider and bayonet lug on the shortened barrel, a pinned-in two-piece adaptor block in the magazine well, right handed "SAFE SEMI AUTO" selector switch and an A1 pattern upper with no forward assist and an extended plastic case deflector. With a checkered pistol grip stock and a two-position telescoping buttstock. Magazine not included.

Excellent, with 98% of the original matte black finish. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
