The Close Quarter Battle Receiver (CQBR) [5] is a replacement upper receiver for the M4A1 carbine developed by the US Navy.. The CQBR features a 10.3 in (262 mm) length barrel (similar to the Colt Commando short-barreled M16 variants of the past) which makes the weapon significantly more compact, thus making it easier to use in, and around, vehicles and in tight, confined spaces.

A carbine (/ ˈ k ɑːr b iː n / or / ˈ k ɑːr b aɪ n /), [1] from French carabine, [2] is a long arm firearm but with a shorter barrel than a rifle or musket. [3] Many carbines are shortened versions of full-length rifles, shooting the same ammunition, while others fire lower-powered ammunition, typically ranging from pistol/PDW to intermediate rifle cartridges.
A trademark dispute between Bushmaster and Colt's Manufacturing Company concerned the use of the "M4" name. The M4 was developed and produced for the United States government by Colt, which had an exclusive contract to produce the M4 family of weapons until 2009. [6]
