Probably just marketing strategy because it is obviously an upgunned M1 Carbine.
Look at the gas system. Op-rod. Even the bolt hold open. None have any similarity to the M14. But they are all similar to the M1 Carbine.
Even the intended range is similar. I am old enough to have owned at least one since 1975. The modern wisdom is maddening to listen to.
Anybody want to know the historical evolution of the .223/5.56? It is not quite what people say...
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Ultimately, I guess it doesn't matter much.
