Lots of stuff in the Colt booth. First off, these photos are for those of you who wondered how they reconcile the 5.56 and 7.62 mag wells of the 901.
Notice that the front takedown (or pivot) pin is slightly forward of and below normal on the 901. An adapter for the narrower throat of the 5.56 upper is pinned place on the normal, Mil Spec point.
Next, they displayed three rifles marked as Prototype.
They also had quite a few interesting custom finishes on display.
Finally, Colt showcased the M45A1″ built for the USMC.

Did Colt specify when they would be releasing the adapter for the LE901?
I’m guessing Colt is seeing the writing on the wall regarding the drying up of military funds as the wars wind down and realizes they will need the civilian market more than ever.
Good on them for doing some innovation.
What is the gas system length on those long barreled prototype weapons?
