Is it available yet? Do they still have that retarded "Colt Rail Gun" roll mark on the right side? How much are they going for? |
| Stainless has been out since fall of last year or so. That was the first run of them. Seems most have been bought up, but there is a few around yet. Next run is scedualed for May/June of this year. A matte blued version will also be available this time. Price for one has been around a grand. Colt Rail Gun is stamped on the side. Good reviews by most with them so far. I went in the other day looking to get one, but I'm holding off for the blued version this summer. Buying a combat commander to tide me over... |

Its not actually blued, its one of the spray and bake over stainless. |

Where does your knowledge come from? |

I'd rather have stainless underneath if I had my druthers. |

I'd like to think that my thread is directly responsible for Colt releasing the Rail Gun in blued steel. And also renaming it "Totally Awesome Blaster".

I want the new Colt Rail Gun it is such a sweet looking pistol. I never wanted a rail gun until now. I think I'd be a lot more interested in one if it didn't come with the S80 system installed. Yes, I know, properly set up, the likelihood of it failing and not allowing the pistol to be fired is infinitesimally tiny. I still don't see the need for yet another safety device on a pistol that has one passive and one active external safety, firing pin spring, half-cock notch, etc. |

I wouldn't let that stop you. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Do they still have that retarded "Colt Rail Gun" roll mark on the right side? I'm in total agreement on that Beltfed! I was excited to see Colt come out with a railed model until I saw that. I wouldn"t call the rollmark a deal breaker YET, but I haven"t been able to get over it yet either. I was also contemplating, when I'm ready to make a purchase, to just call the Custom Shop and see if they could do a "custom" with the standard Colt Government Model on there instead of Colt Rail Gun. I guess we'll see. |
