Larry Vickers' Delta Force Colt 723 Carbine

Makes me so angry what the ATF did to Larry for just trying to be a free American.

I just don't like how this guy talks

Can believe this American hero is sitting in Federal prison right now

FREE LARRY!

Who's here after the indictment?

The M16A2 receiver itself is different from the A1, primarily in the reinforced buttstock ring at the rear of the receiver. Another lesser-known difference is the slight difference in the magazine well vs. the well on the A1. And as to the 3-Round "Burst Fire" feature of the first A2s, one must remember the A2 was developed by Colt at the specific request of the Marine Corps, which wasn't a big "fan" of Fully-Automatic fire. Seeing that Colt had already developed retrofit "Burst Fire" kits in 2-, 3-, and 4-Round versions, the Marines were very happy with "their" Assault Rifles coming to them from Colt in the 3-Round configuration. Also, the "micro-adjustable" rear sight was a "Marine Thing". One must remember, the Marine Corps took pride in being "Riflemen First" ... not merely "Spray & Pray" trigger pullers.

Where can I find upper for this build?

Funny enough how the most elite operators in the world at the time were using cutting edge technology like hose clamps and 100mph tape.

This feels like a Bob Ross episode, pure calm relaxation and learning at a nice and relaxed pace by chill legends just talking about the passion.

when i was civilian police with 1st sosf at hurlburt field in 2009 i was issued an honest to gosh gau-5

Love the videos with Larry. Hope you do more in the future!

the best video guys! i love everything Vickers , especially sights he sells thru wilson combat

Americas number one that is "The Most Badass military unit " is Delta Force and on second place that is " The second place is the second place loosers " DEVGRU and their counterpart Navy Seals.

really interesting video - thanks guys

We got a black hawk down, we got a black hawk down

Its not real steel but I've used this V shaped taped mag setup in airsoft before and its awesome, made it using a stick I cut to size with a knife and some electrical tape.

I always knew of this rifle as the Car-15, I’m glad I took the time to learn more about it and hear interesting stories about how things used to run back then.

Very interesting!

I remember these from the video game series Delta Force by Novalogic. Never thought Delta Force really did use this gun in the 90s.

Add actual firing. Please

This is really interesting. But it's scary that there are places in America where you need a military auto rifle in your house or car to protect yourself. 😳

Carried a colt 604 in Afghanistan in 2001

i still think it's weird about larry's whole rhodesia thing, but ian is cool

could you tell me when this model was made available?

As a 10 year veteran Marine I find it so interesting that once upon a time carbines were considered weapons for noncombatants, support types with other primary roles, while the long guns were for the front lines.

Then there was a change where carbines became the sought after standard for front line combatants, relegating left over long rifles for the support types and rear echelon.

And now, which is the most interesting part, the military seems to be going back to giving the long n heavies back to the front lines lol.

The SAS adopted the full auto FN weapon from argentine stock and progressed from there

For jungle fighting a CAR15 is almost as excellent as an Owen gun...

Was this specimen one of the ATF confiscations after the loss of SOT/FFL?

Raptor charging handle???

Cool video

What did Larry say was his reason for loading 28 rounds per magazine? I can’t make it out on the video. I always thought the reason was to avoid over stressing the springs but I think he’s saying something else.

Didn't diemaco base their original C8 carbine off this Weapon? (NOT THE M4)

Go rescue the Americans being Held Captive and tortured by the terroristic-Socialist Proxy Biden admin camped out just outside Of America in D.C.!

It is really quite incredible how far we've come in a few short decades in terms of tactical weaponry. This was a tier one setup not all that long ago. Today you can equipt a PSA with 100 dollars worth of Amazon accessories and have a far superior setup all for under $1k. I'd still take this gem all day though.

It's hard to choke down alot of the bullshit that Larry spits out.

Excellent video 👍

From what I heard, the shorter barrel guns where actually xm177a2's. To me that always sounded like they had been completely shot out by macv-sog.

What red dot mount is he using?

BACK IN THE DAY, THE TIP OF THE SPEAR WAS USING HOSE CLAMPS AND DUCT TAPE. THE BEST OF THE BEST ADAPTED TO ANYTHING. LET THAT SINK IN…. SFOD-D 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What kind of red dot mount is being used?

Why the lower is not reinforced in the back if it’s marked an A2?

Great Interview with Larry V. - ∆ . Seems like a carrying an extra interchangeable long range upper barrel assembly would helped the 723 in open country. (More weight to carry, though.)

This episode is SO GOOD. More of this, when possible please!

We got lucky in basic '92...our batch m16a2's were practically new and ran like clocks..

I found this video while researching the aimpoint 2000. Found it at the flea market for 20 beans

All time favorite 🌙

Now that’s a Carbine! 👊🏻😎

Why do you have a racist on the channel?
