Used (but in fair condition) GENUINE United States Government Issue (USGI) RO653 carbine rubber duck (actually a hard polymer plastic) non-functional training aid! SUPER RARE! Lower was molded from an original Vietnam-era XM177E2 (and has original markings) and the barrel appears to be from an "A-one" (based on the triangular cap). The right side is marked "TSC FTCKY" which stands for Training Support Center Fort Campbell Kentucky. The barrel is plugged but does have the original C MP CHROME BORE markings. Original "bird cage" comes with it and the "soft air" one does not. There is wear and tear from use such as nicks, scratches, gouges, etc. - PLEASE review the images. The left side polymer has worn down to the "support rod." Stock, which is molded from a "fenced" version, does NOT move! Approximate overall length of 29.5-inches.
This was most likely manufactured in the late 1970s or early 1980s when the RO653 was in use by Rangers and Special Forces. Cannot state enough about how wonderful this piece of "military art" is! And definitely cannot emphasize enough about the RARITY of this piece! If you have seen another - please let me know!
