T65 rifle series
T65
Developed during the early 1970s as a replacement for the Type 57 (M14) rifle in Taiwanese service, the Combined Service Forces T65 is a hybrid design that melds the short stroke piston system of the Armalite AR-18 with the aesthetics of the M16.
The T65K1 is a slightly improved variant with the most visible difference being a redesigned handguard. It was not produced in large numbers as T65K2 was introduced soon after.
