That's not an M4.

Gotta figure the Soviet Army probably made 100's of thousands of these (especially when you consider the Fulda Gap was gonna be a massive armor battle during the Cold War) given the massive proliferation of these across the globe and then consider that the fighting in UA is essentially partisan-guerilla-militia…

You're either full of shit, misinformed, or trolling... I'll give you 2 out of the 3.
