So it's a derivative of the M-4, which is a derivative of the M-16, which was a modified AR-15 designed by Eugene Stoner. Many countries have done that. There are even M-4 derivatives with the buffer spring moved to the top of the rifle so it could be fitted with a folding stock.

I would like to see this rifle's inside, especially the recoil mechanism to see which branch it belongs to.
