So what rifle is the original Crimson Guard rifle's supposed to be anyway? YoJoe.com listed it as "AK48A", but there's no real-life AK-48A rifles.

It's a hodge podge rifle. Rear sight is inspired by an M1 Garand, barrel and handguard from an M16, stock is FAL-inspired, magazine could be an 80s-era magazine. Receiver looks like an M!6 receiver without a trigger guard and bizarrely elongated mag well.
Some artist just flipped through a couple of gun magazines and sculpted a "real life inspired" assault rifle for them. |

In GI JOE lore, aren?t most CGs living and working as civ9ilians? They?re like sleeper agents, money men, computer hackers, etc. They live among us, but they have a secret closet with their gear. It could explain why they have such a common ?off the shelf? rifle. The uniform is mostly ceremonial right?

Filecard fun fact. On the v1 COBRA officer filecard it implies that the COBRA Officer was the SieGie before the Crimson Guard came into existence. So in my JOEverse the COBRA officers are Siegies in training working under the direct supervision of a SieGie. So I would have like three, (maybe four,) sleeper agents COBRA officers working under the direct supervision of a Crimson Guardsmen while they were training.

In one of the comics (issue 123 maybe) when they introduce the DEF and a cg burst in to a room with some headhunters. I think he has a m16. They promptly blow him away.

I figured the gun lacked a magazine because toy companies are still trying to get away from IRL guns according to McFarlane.

Have to say I appreciate the OP's enthusiasm and excitement. It's nice to read positive comments about the Joe line whether it be classified or o-ring.

As long as Hasbro keeps cranking out Classified figures this close to their ARAH designs, I'll be buying them up. This one will definitely be one of my top favorites.

CG seems to come with a very satisfactory amount of accessories.
