Capco produces .223 / 5.56mm barrel assemblies for the commercial version of the military M16/M4 weapons.
The M192 consists of an alloy steel, tubular structure and features an innovative Traverse & Elevating (T&E) mechanism. The T&E mechanism allows the soldier to accomplish rapid bold or fine adjustments of the weapon in traverse and elevation axes. The Capco-designed M192 became the U.S. Army’s light weight ground mount for medium caliber machine guns and preceded the Capco-designed M205 Tripod Mount.
