It would be nice if they did do a new barrel profile for the 16" rifle other than using the govt. m4 barrel from the OEM1. |

The same profile barrel that the Expanse series used with CLd bore/chamber would be perfect, IMO. Even the SOCOM profile sans 203 flats . |

The upper has an extension that is internally threaded that the barrel slips into followed by the barrel nut. The handguard actually mounts to the upper around the outside of the extension rather than a threaded on barrel nut. Even though they are two piece uppers they have more in common with their monolithic uppers in design than a traditional upper. https://i.imgur.com/AZ0ltK3.png https://i.imgur.com/97gBuqA.png This looks like Socom profile without the flats. These look nice except the white logo on the rail the the weird curvy lines on the controls on the lower. |

I’d like to be able to buy a Colt m-lok rail for OEM2s, white logo or not, so I could assemble an OEM2 with all Colt parts. |

You won’t be able to use these rails on any other Colt if they make them available separately without some modifications to either the rail or the upper. They are using an anti rotation tab on the rail with a mating recess milled into the top of the upper. |

I wasn’t referring to these new rails, I was just opining that it would be nice if Colt had their own m-lok rail that was for the OEM2 and I wouldn’t give a shit if it had a white logo or not. There’s no reason that we should have to be putting Centurion rails on our OEM2s and the release of the Sentry makes that even more obvious. Once again, there should be a “6920-2” that is based on the OEM2 and it should have a Colt m-lok rail on it.

AU customer service is somewhat sketchy but mostly I have a personal policy of not buying guns sight unseen online. So, I will have to wait on Clyde Armory or another LGS getting some. In the meantime I will be super jealous of the rest of you and look forward to your pictures and reviews. |

I’m a big Colt guy but also own Kac and Lmt. The only function i really appreciate on the ambi lowers is the right side bolt catch. Looks like the Colt only has a bolt release like Kac so I don’t see the Colt being an advanced ambi lower. |

Will the CM5 come with an accessory pack? Magazine, sling, cleaning kit, slotted 1913 picatinny attachment(s), etc. Of course I would want the Colt issued accessories for the CM5 Sentry. Which vendor can we count on to include a complete package? Eta: spelling |

So many blunders by colt. I love colts though. He most battle proven of all of them. Yup colt has always been innovative in many ways.. since the 70s.. it’s just a matter of poor marketing policies.. probably due to sitting on Govt contracts for half a century.. just like Beretta, HK, etc.. |

Originally Posted By MGYSGT8541: Yes. Glock is doing the same. No innovation. That's why sig is kicking everyone's asses. They innovate and bring new weapons to market. Sometimes they do it to fast but sig is kicking every gun companies asses right now. I don't think any company can challenge them at this point. I think those are just two ways of seeing the market.. not sure the Sig approach is the best though… seems like they’re making available every single idea they have without long term T&E… how many upgrade Gens the MPX/MCX went trough before being reliable? |

Just calling it like I see it. I’m not bashing Sig and defending Glock but I think Glock is a different story.. they got the pistol almost right from the beginning.. 5 gens in 40 years is nothing.. following generations (especially gen4 & 5) are more a marketing thing just to let people know their still “alive” as a company but didn’t really bring anything special to the original platform. Afaik those Gens in a short period of time on Sig products really aid in reliability. |
