POTD: Colt Canada Modular Rail Rifle - Botswana Defence Force
Photo Of The Day where a member of the Botswana Defence Force fires his rifle during a Joint Combined Exchange Training together with the U.S. Army 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Thebephatshwa Air Base, Botswana, June 18, 2024.
The rifle looks like the Colt Canada Modular Rail Rifle (MRR), which is a versatile and highly customizable firearm developed by Colt Canada. It is designed to meet the needs of modern military and law enforcement units, offering enhanced flexibility and performance.
According to Colt Canada, the MRR combines the battle-proven Colt Canada C8 Carbine core with the M-LOK Rail Attachment System.
“The JCETs enhance U.S. relationships with partner nations by developing and maintaining critical military-to-military connections and improving readiness and interoperability.“
The MRR Upper Receiver has a monolithic top rail.
Do you think the MPR belongs to the U.S. Army Special Forces Group or the Botswana Defence Force?
