    WHY the gas system? it's unreliable and increases fouling.

      for use with a suppressor

  • LostLakeDave

    On your bullet list you meant to say "Primary Weapons System Brake".
    My teeth chip when people call it a muzzle break!

  • Derek

    That new gas system is going to be a game changer for sure. My guess is this will run in the range of 2.5-3k for this rifle.

    What magazine type?

  • mike

    they sure are'nt telling you much about it just enough to make you want to know more about it!!! i do hope this is piston driven set up if not they can put it with the rest of colt's junk.

    Colt junk? They are one of the premium AR rifles?

  • Anishinabi

    People that call Colt junk buy someone else's copy. I have a Colt AR-15 and it is better made than most of what you see from anyone else. My first handgun was a Colt Frontier Scout. I will defy anyone to match it for fit, finish or smoothness of operation. There may be more expensive 1911s but I see more of them jam up on the range or FTF when shooting multi round regimens than my Government model. Especially the earler Kimbers. They are better now that they discovered quality..
