Colt Mfg CR6762 Carbine Rifle 7.62x39mm 16" Barrel 30-Round Mag Tactical

The Colt Mfg CR6762 is a semi-automatic carbine rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, built on the proven M4 platform and sized for shooters who want familiar ergonomics in an intermediate cartridge package. With its 16-inch chrome-lined barrel and 1:7 twist rate, this tactical carbine delivers the accuracy and reliability you'd expect from Colt's military heritage—minus the full-auto fire. Whether you're setting up a do-it-all rifle for the range, a trainer for shooters transitioning from other platforms, or a compact option for hunting, the CR6762 gives you a solid foundation to work with.

This is a no-frills, no-hype rifle: a semi-automatic workhorse with a 30-round magazine capacity, manual safety, and an A2 flash hider to tame muzzle signature. The top rail gives you mounting options for optics and accessories, while the A2 grip and Magpul MBUS rear sight keep you running immediately out of the box. The chrome-lined bore is a practical touch for a shooter who values durability over ultra-precision, and the whole package weighs in at 7 pounds—light enough to carry, heavy enough to manage recoil.

At 36 inches overall length, the CR6762 is compact without sacrificing sight radius or ease of handling. This makes it a natural fit for home defense setups, close-quarters training, or hunting scenarios where you need maneuverability. The 7.62x39mm cartridge sits in the middle ground: it's less common than 5.56 NATO, which can actually be an advantage if you're already familiar with that round and want to expand your reloading or sourcing options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the CR6762 and a standard 5.56 NATO M4?

The CR6762 fires 7.62x39mm ammunition instead of 5.56 NATO. This cartridge offers different ballistics and is often more economical depending on market conditions. Both platforms share the same ergonomics and controls, so transition is seamless if you're already familiar with an M4.

Is the CR6762 suitable for hunting?

Yes, the 7.62x39mm cartridge is viable for medium-game hunting, and the 16-inch barrel and compact length make it maneuverable in varied terrain. Always verify your local regulations and game-specific ammunition requirements before hunting.

What magazine does this rifle use?

The CR6762 accepts standard AK-pattern magazines (7.62x39mm). It ships with a 30-round magazine capacity, though you should verify compatibility with any specific aftermarket magazine brands you plan to use.
