The M4 was developed from the Harrington & Richardson bolt-action M265 sporting rifle, adapted to a sheet metal frame with telescoping wire buttstock, a 14-inch detachable barrel chambered for .22 Hornet and the 4-shot detachable box magazine of the Savage Stevens M23D .22 Hornet sporting rifle.

The feed ramp may be part of the magazine ( AR-7 ), part of the receiver or frame ( Mauser C96 ), part of the barrel ( H&K USP ) or part of the barrel nut/locking lugs ( AR-15 ).
