if i were to look at a ar15 reciever and a m4 receiver could i tell the difference? i know there are machining differences but could you see them? not that it's likely but if someone handed me one could i tell?
the m4 will have feed rapm cuts in the lower
so, according to the brute (and i cant disagree with it) none of the rifles on "the chart" are m4's?
They are all 'M4geries'.
Chart? Sorry, I don't know what you're referring to.
That was in 2005 and applies to commercial applications of the name. Basically, other manufacturers are trying to capitalize on Colt's trademark. Regardless of how you stand on the trademark case, there is only one rifle designated M4 by the army.interestingly, i did just read that a district court in maine ruled that "M4" was now a generic name, and that Colt's trademark was to be revoked.
I try to stay out of the schoolyard drama that seems to plague this board lately.lol, im surprised that you havent heard of it. its been the source of some pretty heated threads and discussions here.
Link, or it didn't happen...its a chart showing the various technical advantages or shortcomings of the different models of m4's or m4geries.

"most" of the M4s are colts but not all of them
they have used a varient amount of manufacturers including armalite stag LMT and various others all with the M4 name

i am going to assume that the thread starter was not referring to the rifles that only the us governement has access to.
maybe the feedramps are not a good indicator of an m4gery, i dont really know, ive never had one.
You know what happens when you assume...i am going to assume...
In fact multiple manufacturers have made M-4 rifles for the government on contract,
