    SOLD $1900 Shipped. Going to Auction on GunBroker Sunday 9PM Eastern 2/25. To fund my Fallshirmjager FG 42 project (see Vintage section of the hide), I am selling my Harrington and Richardson roll stamped Colt Commando clone with Spikes 37mm Havoc (M203) launcher. This is a copy of the Colt Commando as used by MACV/SOG and Army Special Forces in Vietnam. The barrel is pinned and welded at 16.25 inches with an XM177 moderator. It is machined from hardened 4150 steel, then MPI inspected to detect hidden flaws . It’s chambered for the modern 5.56 NATO cartridge, with speedy 1-7" rifling in the nitride bore, a 625" gas block/front sight base (F marked) with shaved bayonet lug, sight post, detent, spring, and sling swivel removed, flat Delta ring, barrel nut, weld spring, snap ring, and correct six hole round handguard cap. The collapsible metal stock is the period correct two position and is acetate covered. The trigger has been improved with match springs to break cleanly. The pistol grip is Vietnam era surplus. The 37 mm Spikes Havoc launcher has been modified with the correct under barrel mount. All the extraneous markings and warnings have been removed and the launcher finished in a "Battleworn" proprietary Cerakote. The rifle has been finished in my proprietary "Battleworn" Cerakote finish. This includes an undercoat of my custom "Bare Metal" Cerakote, followed by a top coat of Cerakote "Graphite Black" and then the "Battleworn" finish applied. Included are a modified vintage period carry strap with 550 cord, and an original Colt stamped 30 round magazine. Must ship to FFL, no sales where prohibited, know your state laws.

    Father in law, SGM, SF, 3 tours in Vietnam, with Montagnards. He's the one taking the photo of the Tm Ldr and tiger. Note the tiger tail. They had to post a 24 hour guard on the Tiger to keep the yards from stealing highly prized body parts.

    How many grenades are included? Asking for a friend. :whistle:

    Great photo. A similar story a buddy told, he was manning a 30 caliber machine gun late at night, and heard something running toward him. He let go a quick burst and when they went to look it was a ventilated tiger.
