I don’t visit this page as much as I’d like and usually just stick in the retro section but recently I have been getting more out of the retro game and getting more in the oddities that Colt has to offer especially in the prototype fields.
This was offered to me and I was very appreciative that I had the chance at it and couldn’t pass it up.
This is 1 of 25 rifles that were made but maybe only a few that are still around due to most being disposed and the others being destroyed in testing.
In around 2008 Colt was in talks to buy Armalite and they offered this rifle as Colts first 308 variant. Obviously we know that didn’t end up happening and colt ended up making their own design, the 901.
This is quite unique due to the PRI sight and charging handle, Daniel Defense AR10 Lite rail and 2 stage trigger.
I now need to get myself a normal 901 and plan to look for an early serial numbered one to accompany this one at some point.
