Too Little, Too Late IMO..of course it would be interesting to see how it would be "Backwards Compatible' with 5.56 uppers when because of the magwell size, the Lower is LONGER than a standard.

Oh how the times are changin... Colt.. playing catch up.

If they pull it off though, it would be unique. The only other one I know of that can do it is the SCAR.

About time that Colt got into it. I'm interested to see what they reveal... And the price!

Just lost all interest. Viewed the patent. Looks like the Cobb MCR. Not digging it.

Help me out I'm not understanding, it's a Colt AR-15/M16/M4 except in 7.62 Nato, so it's a Colt AR-10? (and AR-10 is ArmaLite not Colt normally?)

[bbk 188]

AR10 is a broad-stroke term (like AR15) that describes AR-variants chambered in .308-- so I can understand why you would say that. But is the Colt CM901 an AR10? No, not really; just like how there are technically a couple dozens types of AR-varieties, and people will call them "AR15," "M4, and "M16" anyway.

[Shane45 807]

The easiest way I can think of to explain this is: All 4X4's are not Jeeps. Jeep is a brand name. AR10 is a Brand name/Trademark of Armalite. So understandably Armalite gets bent out of shape by the wide use of AR10 to explain all AR pattern 308 rifles. For example the KIA Sportage driver that says his Jeep died on the trail over a small bump....

Dont expect Colt to sell to Civilians.....they have turned into HK lite since the AWB.

Ya think? I see a lot of 6920's and 6940's running around...
