 | The final improvements to the XM177 series came with the adoption of the XM177E2 (Colt 629) during the week of April 17, 1967. |
 | For example, the XM177 (Colt 610), was designated the GAU-5/A. With the adoption of the XM177E2 (Colt 629), the US Air Force designated the standard XM177E2 as the GAU-5/A/B, and later without a forward assist as the GAU-5/A/A (Colt 630). |
 | Unlike the XM177 series, the M16 Carbine series utilized a bayonet-lug and a longer 14.5" barrel; the length of which was determined by the overall length of an XM177 series barrel and moderator combination. |
