The short answer is yes,  what is in the box looks like the base rifle in the image. With that said, I haven't had time to open the box six quickly validating the serial number at my FFL during lunch on Friday.

I planned on having some photos of mine posted by now but the weekend hasn't gone as planned and Mothers Day adds an additional level of difficulty to getting time in the gun room.

AU's photos show a rail section attached to the front of the rail in addition to some MagPul rail covers installed on the 9 o'clock rail position. I have not opened the accessory pack to validate contents.

With that said, the 16" version and the upcoming 13" version is probably unlikely to be available again anytime soon. If you are remotely interested, or a collector, I recommend getting one, or both.

The 16" version was my pick as I can only afford one.

In three posts below will be 13 photos that I took real quick tonight of my Colt CM762-16S that I picked up at my FFL on May 10th, 2024.

A few quick comments...I was glad to see the accessories included. I was disappointed to see that there are no selector stops. The lower receiver is roll marked.

Would you please elaborate about why you find this a disappointment?

Selector stops, while overall having no impact on the function of the firearm, looks much better than having two flat machined spots. And, it serves absolutely no purpose to machine them off.

It is the 1st Generation 'paddle' release as seen on the Gen 1 CM556's.

That answers my question, Im soon going to disassemble both my Gen 1 and Gen 2 M5 Bolt catches and see what the differences are and why.

I worked late this evening but took a few minutes to finally look under the handguard of my recently purchased CM762-16S. The barrel profile behind the gas block is heavier than forward of the gas block.

I haven't had issues with either, but no.

It would be nice if AU added an FFL on file list so we wouldn't have to have the FFL email them every time, but NBD.

For anyone wondering about the length of gas systems.

Assuming the gas tube is the same length as the 901, it's Armalite AR10 carbine length.

I have not bought a factory SBR so, unfortunately, I am of no help.

A factory SBR transfers on a Form 4 just like a suppressor or machine gun.

ordered and paid for my 13" sbr on the 23rd

just got an email from them:

"Good afternoon,

It looks like the order is now in process. Until it gets approved, we just wait. Once we receive the approval from ATF to ship it to your FFL then you would receive the tracking number via email. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Note: Orders that require FFL/SOT/LE documentations need to be received within 5 days of order placement.  

*Please allow up to 72 hours for email responses."

I placed an order on 5/23 as well, but have not received such an encouragement email.  Of course, I know this one will take extra time.

For those who don’t know NFA items have to have a Form 3 approval before they can ship to the receiving dealer. They typically don’t take very long but I would expect a small delay in shipping on them.

Me too.  I could mean that the Form 3's were approved or it could just mean that they're trying to be efficient by having everything ready when the approved is received.  We'll see...

AU just let me know my form 3 came back approved.  They got me a tracking number today as well.

I got mine as well. I paid for next day air so I should know in the next couple of hours if it’s really shipped or not.


EDIT to add it is on its way. I’ll try and post some pics once I’m able to go and complete the Form 4.
