A custom [[AR-15]] rifle is seen in one of the episodes. The rifle looks like an early model [[Colt AR-15A2 Sporter II]] with the handguard of an [[M16A1]] type handguard. This is not unusual as the Sporter II used a proprietary handguard designed to fit the A1 triangular end cap, meaning that if it became damaged the easiest replacement part would be an A1 handguard.
