MX177 Moderator

The MX177 Moderator is a faithful reproduction of the original design used on MX177 E1 and MX177 E2 carbines chambered in 5.56mm. Each unit is precision-machined from heat-treated 4140 steel and finished in a durable manganese phosphate Parkerized coating. Authentic porting, baffle structure, and external profile ensure both function and form match the historic originals.

The grenade adapter ring was a distinctive feature of the MX177 E2 variant, making it historically accurate for Vietnam-era retro builds.

LM607 Moderator

The LM607 is a precise reproduction of the CAR-15/GX5857/Model 607 moderator — the earliest version used during the Vietnam War. It was first used on the Model 607/GX5857/LM607 rifle but was also tested on the prototype Model 608 Air Force survival rifle. This version lacks flash ports and features a welded internal baffle core.
