[edit] Versions
Being a military firearm, a number of manufacturers have made versions of the M6. The originals were made by Ithaca, and sold only to the US military.[1]. Most notable of the civilian manufacturers is Springfield Armory, Inc., which made three versions. The standard version, as used by the military, has a 14 inch barrel versions, and folds in half to a minimum size of 15 inches. The 14 inch version is restricted in the United States as a sawed-off shotgun or any other weapon by US federal law. Other versions made by Springfield include a 16 inch barreled pistol and a 18.5 inch barreled rifle version, both of which are free from special restrictions.[2]
