Guns of the Decades - 1960s: Colt 607 - Colt’s First AR-15 Carbine
by Cameron H on December 19, 2024 at 1:00 am
Welcome to the Guns of the Decades. In this article series, we’ll pick a firearm from a decade, and briefly talk about where it was at the time.

It's a fun read about a gun that you may have forgotten about or one that may have been lost in time.

The battlefield on the Eastern Front of World War II illustrated a horrific lesson—that victory can be won with tragic heroism and noble sacrifice. Still, ultimately, without technical and tactical innovation, it is a cruel waste of life. The Soviet Union learned quickly, changing tactics and developing vast small arms to combat the next war. With lessons fresh in their memories, new concepts were developed and evolved to change the world.
