If that's your Youtube channel, please go shill elsewhere. Charlie's el oh el! Yes, they are a special bunch. The lack of common sense and manners in this particular thread led me to choose to not participate going forward. I planned to just read and learn, be an interested observer if you will. (I don’t yet own an M5). I had assumed the act of deleting my posts would be positive for those genuinely interested. Since you can’t ‘disappear’ a post box, I inserted a nice very short very well done M5 video for anyone who hadn’t seen an M5 in person, (that video is the best visual representation of a new M5 that I have seen so far). And no words. Just music. Form your own opinion kinda marketing. The IQ of anyone thinking I own Charlie’s Customs is beyond my ability to communicate with. Your just on your own there. And finally. I ain’t ‘your man’. Had I been, you would have been taught the ability to logically assume the video was a place marker. You would have also noticed that the video didn’t play unless you pushed the play button. I get it. You pushed the button repeatedly. I can’t help that. I again, default to my lack of ability to communicate with you. Several well respected (by me) posters requested that we stay on topic of the M5. It seemed to me like a small request with allot of common sense. Upon reviewing some of my posts I observed that some probably weren’t relevant to the most asked information. OMG, the barrel! I was creating ‘noise’ out of excitement of a new Colt and too many keyboard hours. My bad. So I respected the criticism, saw some truth to it and removed ‘my noise’. Period, end of conspiracy. As for my choice of placeholder, DON’T REPEATEDLY CLICK THE PLAY ICON. When left alone it’s relatively benign.  Now a few of you Colt Forum experts can go back to cannibalizing each other.  To fling your pew at me will require you follow me to a different thread. I had previously chose to monitor but not participate in hopes of getting new info. I’ve never been fond of staring at a mess so I’ll once again attempt to exit. |

Fellow gun enthusiast, it is enough to have 'half a dozen or more place holders' of the same linked video from the same poster. Flooding a thread on the internet. Yes, we have, seen shills entertain this site and forum. Especially in the case of a new release, I think it does raise eyebrows & also believe there are still plenty Colt M5s left to sell. Eta: I hope that explains it. |

I have considered this industry section my 'internet home' for many years and have always enjoyed coming here. I have learned a lot from other members over the years which has always been my goal. I have a private Facebook group for Colt AR's but I have still enjoyed coming here because many of you are very knowledgeable and I have enjoyed interacting with you. Having said that, the amount ego's flexed in here, the almost constant sarcasm, and pointless hate posts has just about convinced me to stay away. There was a great Facebook group that was the CRA- US military weapons page. It has been ruined in a similar many and many of us original members now rarely go back. Its just unfortunate that we can't have a quality place open to others without having to deal with the grade school playground attitudes and comments. Such is life I guess. Change is constant and not always for the better.  |

I read the Colt Industry forum almost daily, to learn from some very knowledgeable “Colt guys” and to enjoy their passion for the hobby. My father was a career Marine and he had a passion for Colt firearms, so I have it in my blood. With the exception of some semi-frequent drive by posters and some occasional, and relatively benign, flare ups between regular posters(which are unavoidable) there is only one regular poster that finds it necessary to be persistently in attack mode. The Sarge simply can’t read past a post he disagrees with, without either making a smart-assed remark or going into attack mode in a barely literate post. Nobody has to prove shit to you Sarge, so either read past the post, or if your lack of will won’t allow you to do that, then post “I disagree” and move the f~k on. You are largely responsible for the toxicity in this thread, so get your shit squared. |

You are largely responsible for the toxicity in this thread, so get your shit squared. a Question for a few of you. 1. How many of you with an M5 plan on putting a scope on it? 2. Different trigger? 3. Does anyone have an Ambie lower that they would compare the M5 lower to? I have an LMT MARS piston rifle. I like the colt lower a little more. The ambie controls are bigger on the Colt. Does anyone have an LWRC or KAC lower to compare it to? I'd love to hear about it. Thanks in advance |
 A Face palm too. RDS is set-up on a couple SBRs already. So on my M5 I'm planning on going to a TA33 w/ a piggy back RMR when I can. Trigger will be a Geissele, all the way in the SSA flavor. I've been wanting to try the newer lightning bow (pricey for the new look). The mil-spec trigger certainly works for all intended purposes. Has Colt ever included a slick premium trigger, match grade or other FCG besides a boring mil-spec? |

Originally Posted By Bishop3: Has Colt ever included a slick premium trigger, match grade or other FCG besides a boring mil-spec? Not that I'm aware of, but that is kind of the point. I remember looking at Daniel Defense rifles and noticing they had a Geissele trigger, and thinking. Oh, that is where some of that extra cost is coming in. With that said, that was when 6920s were about $1000 and DDs were about $1200 to $1400. 6920s are still about $1000 but the DD rifles are closer to $2k now. |

The M5 seems to be on par with my LMT. Very close LMT has an easily replaceable / removeable barrel, mono upper, true ambi controls, coated buffer tube, properly profiled barrels, and [expected for the price] cleaned up forging flashings. They also offer spare parts with a variety of rail options (both connectivity-type and length) as well as barrel lengths, gas options, caliber options, and operating types (DI or Piston). The 6940 upper is nice but outdated - the barrel installation / removal method is a PITA plus it's only available in picatinny and in one length. The Colt Canada MRR quality is more in line with LMT but it still has the PITA barrel mounting and we'll never see that stateside thanks to the non-compete with Colt USA. On top of this Colt USA seems to be allergic to any new mono uppers thanks to LMT's patents / royalties. The M5 is a move in the right direction but I'd rather an LWRCI for $2-300 less, true ambi, and a quality fit / finish. It should be $1-200 cheaper than the LWRCI, in line with LE6940 pricing or just a wee bit above (but below SOCOM pricing, as I stated prior). Its a nice gun but Colt is no LMT (nor even LWRCI). |

Colt barrels are some of the best combat barrels around. Thanks for the detailed reply. Good to see someone post in a conversational manner and not cry (county worker) |

Thanks for the info men. Hmm. Colt hasn't put a slick upgraded trigger in its rifle(s) since. Will likely not stay with the stock mil-spec trigger in my M5 & have several of my Colt triggers in the parts drawer (I save the original). I'm also spoiled on G triggers but they ain't cheap! I'm wanting to save on cost & try the Schmid Tool 2-stage in the M5 because I don't care at all for an MBT (IMHO even the discount Geissele G2S beats an Larue MBT everyday). Has anyone used a $70 Schmid Tool 2-stage, please comment? Good morning & have a nice day.  |

Has anyone used a $70 Schmid Tool 2-stage, please comment? Good morning & have a nice day. I’ve found them to be pretty good, especially considering the price. I think they’re an upgrade over the “mil-spec” triggers. I wouldn’t buy one if I was looking for “best”, though. IIRC, I put Larue HD trigger springs in them. @minuteman1636 thanks for the pics.

The flaw with our concept is that the retailer could actually have a higher quantity on hand but only have part of it entered into the system. |

If you leave them in your cart it will also auto-subtract when ones are sold. |

You have to keep adding (or subtracting) qty from the cart until it won’t let you anymore. |
