	~~DESCRIPTION GOES HERE~~		The Colt Model 656 (often described as the M16A1 Special Low Profile) is an experimental 5.56×45mm/.223 rifle based on the M16A1 pattern, developed by Colt during the Vietnam War era for evaluation as a light sniper or designated marksman rifle. It uses a heavy 20-inch barrel and a special upper receiver without a carry handle, incorporating a low-profile rear sight and an integral Weaver-style base for mounting optics. The design is best known as an early “flat-top” concept that anticipated later rail-equipped M16-family receivers.
	=HISTORY=		==HISTORY==
	~~TEXT GOES HERE~~		With U.S. requirements expanding during the Vietnam War, Colt developed the Model 655 and Model 656 as purpose-built M16-pattern rifles intended to improve precision and optic mounting over a standard M16A1. The Model 656 differed most visibly in its “low profile” upper receiver: the carrying handle was deleted and replaced by a low-profile sighting arrangement plus a Weaver-type scope base, while retaining an M16A1-style layout and a heavy barrel intended to support more consistent accuracy. Period descriptions commonly associate these evaluation rifles with contemporary variable-power optics such as the Leatherwood/Realist ranging scope, and some examples are noted as having been paired with specialized muzzle devices.
	~~<br>~~[ ~~SOURCE~~]
			Despite the concept, the Model 656 was never standardized as an issued U.S. sniper rifle and appears to have remained a limited evaluation pattern rather than a broadly fielded weapon. In Vietnam-era practice, U.S. sniping and precision roles were typically filled by other systems, while the Model 656’s main legacy is technical: it foreshadowed later developments in low-profile/optics-ready upper receivers and the eventual growth of designated-marksman style configurations within the broader M16-family ecosystem.
