Talk:Mission: Impossible (1988) - Season 1

Custom build?

The CAR-15 from episode 3 later appears in episode 14. I didn't realize until then that it had a full stock, but a carbine-length barrel. Is this a factory configuration or just a hybrid, mating a full sized and stocked lower with a carbine upper?
