I just purchased an LR/SR G3 Pmag, I hope this works. What Pmags are compatible with the 901 ambi-lower? Thanks Eta: disregard, I got the info from the archives that any DPMS pattern SR25/M110 will work fine. |

Thanks Eta: disregard, I got the info from the archives that any DPMS pattern SR25/M110 will work fine. Every SR25 pattern mag I've ever tried in the 901 has worked fine. That includes KAC steel mags, D&H steel mags, D&H's clones of KAC mags they did for PSA, .308 PMAGs (the M118LR variants will not drop free but otherwise function fine, regular .308 PMAGs no issues), Lancer L7 AWMs, PMAG D50s, and X-Products X-25s. With the 5.56 magwell adapter every 5.56 mag I've ever tried has worked fine as well, including PMAG D60s and Surefire SF60s. |

Today I picked up the CM762-16S  . The lower is ambi, the gas block is a low profile pinned non adjustable.The charging handle is also ambi. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Eta: Who makes the ambi charging handle, Colt? (page 49 - Troy makes the CH) The stock Colt trigger is in a zip lock bag, I'm going to put in a SSA-E trigger. I haven't shot it, YET. |

^^^^^ Beautiful rifle, I’ve got it’s sister in a non ambi model. Her older ‘brother’ 901 is though. Hell of a Xmas addition. |

CM762-16S: I added a Magpul bipod but I'll probably try an tougher Atlas bipod on this rifle. Also I got this without BUIS so I added the correct sights. For an optic I'm considering the Trijicon Credo 1-8 LPVO. I'm going to try and shoot this suppressed, hopefully the gas system won't need modifications. I'm not sure what length the gas tube is?

I'll need to pull my rail for a measurement eventually. It really isn't important to me, the gas tube length, as long as I can shoot it suppressed. |

| I know for sure that the LE-901S gas tube is Armalite AR10 carbine length. Can't recall right now the exact length but it is a proprietary length. |

I went out to the range this afternoon to shoot my CM762 w/BUIS off bipod zeroed @50, 200 (front sight elevation) then 400 yards (3.50 on rear elevation adjustment). My first shot(s) impression, the recoil impulse really wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Once I get a mount, with suppression it may be even softer. I did get pinched once with the CH. For an optic I'm leaning towards a LPVO 1-8x that'll likely be Trijicon Credo or VCOG. Overall I'm satisfied with this Colt . |

Happy new year! Reading back through the Colt 901 pic thread was looking for information on the barrel thread pitch for the CM762-16S. I haven't found that anyone mentioned it. I needed to confirm before ordering a mount/flash hider. I've read through the owners manual, but it doesn't include the spec barrel thread. Is it the standard .308/762, 5/8x24" or other? Maybe Colt will run production on the CM762 this year, put me down for another. Thanks |

For those interested in learning more about the Colt 901 series, I put together a timeline of Colt 901 designs and posted it over on www.scatteredshots.com Shawn is doing a "10 Years With The Colt 901" over there and he asked me to put together Part 3. I will put the information over on my website as well eventually. 10 Years With The Colt 901 Part 3 |

Thanks. And as suspected, the aft part of my plate broke off just behind the screw. I wonder if Colt still will take a look at it and if that part was designed to be replaceable in the first place? |

The same piece is also used on the 6940 series of carbines. |
