    Was the 1/12 twist rate part of the requirement?

      No, they just can’t get their collective heads out of their behinds.

        Beat me to it.

        • Big Daddy says:

          I’m no expert but I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn’t a faster rate be better for heavier bullets like a 168 or 175 grain or even heavier for sub sonic rounds suppressed?

          Are they mismatching the colors on purpose to be like cool like a SCAR 17?

          Do these guys have any idea WTF they’re doing?

            Probably anodized in different batches, color matching is hard to do with FDE.

              No, I think the lower was left over from the early days of the CM/LE901 when they thought they were going to offer one in FDE

    What’s with the two tone fore-end? I know it’s petty, but it looks half-ass.

    • Alex says:

      My guess is that they were utilizing forgings for the standard LE901 instead of investing in new tooling.

      Extend the handguard with an add on vs. new forging blank for cost.

    Was the HK CSASS that got adopted shown there? It seems kinda weird that companies were still displaying their entries after the contract was rewarded already

    The CM901

  5. Snake says:

    The CM901 has always had a 1/12 twist. For what it’s worth, the SCAR-H/MK17/17S also has a 1/12 twist.

    Hmm. Neither Key-Mod nor M-LoK in evidence.

    Sorry, I love the history of Colt and it’s links to our military / US history. However, I can’t bring myself to spend 1 cent of my hard earned money on any new/rewarmed Colt product. Sorry!

    If somebody who gave a hoot bought Colt, I might reconsider.
